    Anybody seen the new Carmax commercial where the guy is trying to fit the Tacoma in his garage? When he pulls it into the garage its a long bed, but when they show the side view in the garage its a short bed. Then he pulls it out of the garage and it's a long bed again. So then he goes and trades his transformer bed in for a real true short bed.

    It really amazes me how they could miss that pretty key detail.

    2 inches makes a huge difference. That’s what she said *cough cough* :rofl:

    Nice find OP. It’s funny because my short bed barley fits in my garage. Long bed, nope ain’t happening.

    This is why I love having a house built in the early 70s... I can fit my 1973 dodge challenger in there with 6 feet left in front of it.

    I think that's the point of the commercial. Guy bought a long bed = didnt fit, so he returned it for a SB.

    They use both a long bed and short bed in the not fitting shots depending on the angle. Seems that the shots from outside the garage are with a long bed, but the shots inside the garage are done with a short bed.

    This is why the price of used Tacoma's is through the roof. The Video dept. at Carmax has them all locked down for commercial production.
