New Tacoma

Hello fellas,

I just purchased a 2017 Black Tacoma SR5 Double Cab Long Bed.

I love it. It's sleek, has awesome pickup... its sporty and fun to drive.

I had a 2005 F-150 supercrew for the last 11 1/2 years, and it was fine for the first 7-8 years... while the kids were growing up. I didn't want another F-150... I've been wanting an "off-road looking" Tacoma for the last 5-6 years, but always thought the beds were too short for functionality.
I'm always building stuff at home (fences, shelving, forming patios, sidewalks, etc.) and occasionally need 10-12 ft boards from Lowe's. I came across a long (6 ft) bed, and "BAM!" I knew that would work. I plan on keeping this bad boy longer that the F-150.

I love it!

 

Welcome to the community congrats on your purchase!

 

Welcome!

 

Thanks!

 

Welcome to the club!

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Youve got the setup I want down the road, Ive got a low profile toolbox and Ive done 12 foot boards pretty often, putting them from the toolbox to the tailgate, never had a problem with 6 feet hanging off the end.

 

Thanks

 

Exactly!

 

Thanks

 

Thanks

 

Congrats on your new Tacoma and welcome!

 

Thanks

 

Sounds like you're set. Congrats and welcome.

 

Thanks.

 

And I was thinking 'compared to what?'

Glad you shared that. Makes more sense in that context.

One of these will make handling that long lumber even better.

Enjoy!

 

Thanks.

You're right... with that extender, I can handle 16 footers and 4x4's or 6x6's (if I could lift them. Haha).

Nice!
