As far as modifications, are there less options for a long bed?

I was thinking about getting an access cab, but those come with the long beds. I was curious if getting the long bed affected what modification options I was able to get, and if there were any downsides of owning the long bed?

Thanks!

 

No if anything long beds are better for modifying longer bed carry more stuff longer pack rack bigger roof top tent etc

 

thank you sir!

 

Blasphemy.... longer the better.

 

Long beds ftw !

 

Unless you are really into off roading, I see no reason to ever pick a short bed over long.

 

Only one down side. It's longer. That's it. This means it can't make as tight of turns as a shorter vehicle.

If you want extreme tight turns on trails or crazy approach or departure angles buy a Jeep.

 

Yeah Im more into overlanding then hardcore off roading. I wouldn't mind doing trails, but that is not what I am looking for.

 

I've done a small handful of trails in Moab with my long bed. Top of the World, Poison Spider Mesa, Fins n Things, as examples.

 

because you wanted a TRD OR in a double cab in a 2nd gen, for things like atrac, a much better master cylinder / electric boosted braking system, factory elocker etc.

that stated, DCSB and DCLB have PLENTY of the same options available.

 

Anything you cant get on an LB that you can get on an SB?

 

MT for DCLB I don't think is an option

 

No manual tranny on a long bed.

No E-Locker on a long bed.

I put ARB air lockers in my long bed.

 

No, it would be an access cab. I am becoming impatient waiting for an low mileage MT DBSB OR

 

Off-Road Trim on Access cab and DBSB are the same thing options wise minus the doors and bed length right?

 

I love my access cab but sometimes wish I would have bought the dcsb for the bigger back seats. But then I wouldn't be able to haul my dirt bike with gear and the tailgate closed

 

The Off-Road package basically gets you the E-Locker in the rear diff, different suspension, A-Trac, and a slightly smaller rear differential (8").

The Sport Package, SR5, and long bed models all have the 8.4" rear differential but don't have the E-Locker or A-Trac.

 

A long bed should handle a lift better with less concern about rear drive shaft angle and associated vibration.

 

Are these options you list all not geared towards more serious off roading?? While these features are neat, I would say they provide 0 benefit to over 90% of owners and are just a way to suck a few more bucks from buyers. Been driving a long time and have never once thought...."crawl control and a locker would save the day". Keep in mind a fire road and an occasional drive down the beach are as extreme as I get. It's all a matter of perspective for each owner and their use, I am on the longer wagon as it fits my needs the best. At the end of the day I like em all.

 

For me it matters to have the Locker in the back. I am building this as an overlanding rig so I want the most off road capable. Also it will be a 6MT.
