    anyone have the 8 feet bed ?

    If so how would you compare the truck unladen on the highway versus the 5/6 feet beds ?

    I know the HD domestic trucks suck when they have no load

    Wondering how the 8 feet tundra drives

    Thanks

    What??!!!!!

    I think it looks stunning

    The crewmax with short bed doesn't look right. Looks like hippo or sumo wrestler

    I like the crew max space

    If crewmax came in long bed that's what I would get

    Otherwise with the short bed to me it looks like fat sumo wrestler in thongs

    I love the double cabs...and thats what my next truck will be. But the crewmax long bed just looks weird IMO.

    Well shit! Whatever the extended cab is called in a tundra looks weird with a long bed.

    Tundra double cab = shorter rear doors

    Tundra crew max = 4 full size doors

    Mine will be front bench with long bed


    Here is standard bed double cab [​IMG]

    I had a 2007 double cab 8' bed Tundra. I was much more of a comfortable ride than a domestic HD truck. 5.7L is a very powerful engine without the fuel economy of the domestic trucks. My truck on the scales after dropping of scrap metal was 6,600# but rode better than my Tacoma. All being said I would recommend a Tundra double cab with a 8' bed just don't try to turn it around on a two lane road or park in a parking structure.

    Thanks Joe much appreciated

    Have you driven a tundra with a standard bed? If so did it drive any different compared to the 8 feet ?

    When i get the tundra, pro is going buh bye

    That said the tundra crewmax is much bigger so with shorter bed looks worse than DCSB Taco

    No doubt Taco Lb looks better

    I just think on tundra crew it's more pronounced

    Well thats a bunch of crap Toyota. The double cab in a Tacoma is the full 4 doors but not in the Tundra? Thats not confusing at all! HAHA

    I haven't driven one. Rode along in a few. Same/similar ride. Stay away from the 2006 and older tundras if you want a comfortable ride quality IMHO.
