DCSB or DCLB?

Offtopic Canadian question: Is it still snowing where you live? When is your winter officially over?

 

the short bed has is very balanced appearance so it is best for looks and still has great utility.

But if you need the length for your loads (for hauling motorcycles and lumber for maybe?) then a long bed obviously is needed.

this is a silly poll get what you need to do the job.

 

No , March 21

After numerous threads on this topic, glad you finally see it OUR way

And FWIW, that's what the polls have said...

As for utility, your LB will always win. Unless you need to put your truck in a tight spot.

Then the SB will come in handy...

 

Lol

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

WTH, I gave you props for utility.

And if you want to throw that "you're not a man if you can't park a long bed" it 's a draw...

 

I like the short bed because of the TRD Off Road. It depends on what you will do. If you do more off road the SB is better. If you commuting and using it on the road the LB would be better imo.

 

FYI , the Offroad package is not available in Canada in a DC .

 

Would you have gone off-road if they had a DC with the LB option?

Or are you a "scoop" guy?

I would have gone Offroad and then changed to a scooped hood and colour matched trim .

 

Yeah, I am thinking about blacking out my chrome. I really didn't like the color-matched trim on the SSM.

On the MGM, I would have gone your way...

 

I vote the short bed, the long bed makes the overall length of the truck to much for me. Although if I had to haul stuff around for a living I don't think my short bed would cut it.

 

Short. Didn't want truck any longer. I'll get a bed extender.

 

I wished the off road came in the DCLB but in the end for me the deciding factor was the usability of the bed as I don't go off pavement very often.

 

DCLB. For me it would be more practical...it can haul more people comfortably than my AC and it has a little more room to haul stuff than a DCSB (not much more but a little). Plus, IMHO stock DCSB's look kinda weird with the small box. But if you add a 6 inch lift and 35's then that's another story...haha
