Short Bed or Long Bed?

I'm too weak to lift my bike sideway lol.
Great looking bike. Hope to see you @ T-Hill sometimes!

 

Yes you're correct, but keeping things in context and in "Toyotasphere vernacular" the manufacturer uses SB & LB; all relative. A 6' long bed on a Toyota is a short bed on a different truck.

 

So what if we called them extra short bed and short bed?

 

do you want a truck that stuff fits in, or a truck that doesn't have to be stuffed in to fit?

 

I was there with Calitrackdays on Apr 1st. Going again may 13,& June 10

 

I think the short bed looks more proportional. Had a long bed but had to give it up to get an MT. I don't notice the missing foot of bed, but I sure notice the better turning radius. I feel like you lose all the benefits of buying a midsize truck with the long bed, and our payload sucks.

 

Can't fit a surfboard in a short bed

 

Battlefield legal.

 

The ONLY regret I have with my truck is that it is not a long bed.....this is coming from a guy with a 4X2. I’ve loaded a decent number of things in the back of the truck and every time I have to drop the tailgate to get it to fit I cringe. I have no desire to get rid of my truck, but if I were to do it over again, I would go with a longer bed

 

All relative as you said. My buddy just bought a '19 RAM. Bed length? 5.5' I believe.

 

Step fathers ford is 5.5’ too, but a friends is 6.5’ then another 8’. I went with the 6’ bed because it’s what I had before on my 2nd Gen and you rarely see any short beds around here other than 1st gens so it wasn’t even really on my radar. My 2 local dealers don’t even bring in 5’ beds to have on the lot. If I were to trade this one I would probably go with a a short bed though so I could get an Offroad, no DCLB Offroads here in Canada.

 

If Toyota offered the LB in manual, they would have sold at least one more last year.
The only time I regret the SB is when I have two dirt bikes in the bed and need more room for gear.

 

5.5' on a full-size DC RAM? Talk about proportions??

 

Looks like a government vehicle from The Peoples Republic of New Jersey
