    So now that I'm convinced again to buy another DCLB, which color?! Right now it's Super White, Quicksand or Silver Sky as those are the remaining colors left at my local dealership's 2017 stock, selling for $200 over invoice. 36.5K OTD price

    Quicksand. I’m constantly having people come up to me to tell me they love my truck. Toyota really nailed it with this color and the Cement.

    Well I’m glad I could contribute haha. I have a roof rack on it now and will have a bed rack on that will be level with the roof in the spring time so I won’t have a repeat of that event again haha. DCSB is enough for my needs 99% of the time. I really use it more for storing my recovery tracks and recovery strap and my mobile tool boxes for doing dealership work.
    Either way LB or SB it’s a great truck!!

    When I haul lumber or pipe longer than 8’ I just open the rear slider and suddenly I have an extra 5’ or so, though of course you’re limited by how much you can slide through that little opening. 8’ lumber diagonally works fine in the 5’ bed, it leaves about 2’ hanging out.

    I have no kids, just a 90lb German Shepherd. Given my camping and outdoors lifestyle, i opted for the SR.

    The 6 foot bed and no back seats is a win/win.

    the thought of a short bed never even entered my mind

    That looks like a Classic Toyota 4 Wheel Drive emblem from what I can see in that pic.

    I owned a DCSB because I thought I had to have a manual. The bed was just too short. I was packing it to go camping once. Put in the cooler, tent, and camp box and felt like it was full. I now have a DCLB and have been happier that I have the long bed every day. I use it for hauling wood, camping gear, etc. I also have a canopy and a cargo slide, so I can pack a ton of shit in there when I need to and still have it be fairly dry and secure. I think the bed slide could be used as a bed extender too, for longer but fairly light loads.

    The longer wheel base is a little bit of a pain in tight spots like some parking lots and some of the back roads I go on, but to me, it's a no-brainer. If you use your truck like a truck, get a long bed. If you want to look like you bought a Ford Explorer SportTrac, get a short bed.
