    yea i was hardcore on getting a short bed double cab but when it came down to deciding at the dealership, i had them pull a long bed up next to it and couldn't see the short bed as practical without a bed extender.

    I loves my long bed!!

    I specifically wanted a 6ft bed but still be able to fit car seats in a pinch. Unless a person never hauls anything of decent size I think that short bed is almost worthless. You might as well get an SUV. The double cab with the long bed would have been nice, but aside from gas mileage the main reason I went for a Tacoma over a Tundra was the length. I hate driving big trucks.

    The car seats go in the access cab but they're definitely not something you want on a regular basis. But, they work. I've done it once for a 15 minute trip each way that involved snow. The kids were almost vertical..lol We pretended like it was a fun thing so they wouldn't complain and that trick worked for about 13 of those 15 minute..LOL

    I agree with gringo. Long bed or more like standard bed because 8' is considered long bed. They did make them in the 80's & 90's.
    Here's a pic of mine w/Snugtop:
