    You people need to learn to park. Hell I'm Asian and I can do it. DCLB trucks aren't that hard to park, I live in urban Honolulu and can park my dads truck anywhere I park mine.

    Some parking lots are very difficult to park in because of space rather than skill. Try parking a double cab longbed in the Texas Medical Center on a daily basis. In many cases, just getting to the parking spot is the bigger challenge. :)

    Who cares how it looks, can't haul your dirt bike in a short box. If you want a short wheelbase get a Jeep, if you want a pick-up get a long box.

    I have had a DCSB and DCLB, there is no prob manunvering or parking, and I drive it all day. Only downside to a LB has been the high centering and digging ditches with my trail hitch, thats what the TSB, toytec coils, Billys, tires and bumpers will hopefully take care of.
    SB always had an issue with hauling bikes and gear, I had to remove the tool box on big trips.
    And now that I have a LB the chicks dig me.....:cool:

    I like to camp in the bed of my truck. I've done it with all five of the trucks I've owned. Since I'm exactly 6 feet tall, the bed of the truck needs to be at LEAST 6 feet long.

    Ah, I have a friend who's uncle brings a van with the mystery machine paint job and rims to the local car show every Saturday. He puts life sized stuffed animals of scooby and shaggy in the front when he parks it, funny stuff

    I bought the double cab shortbed because I live in the city and parking space is a concern. Some of those parking garage spaces can be tight, so I made the right choice. But if I could have a commuter car in addition to my truck I definitely would have bought a double cab longbed. The extra space would be great when I go camping.

    you should try parking in Honolulu. Most parking lots are to minimum spec and are ridiculously tight. land is at a premium and the parking structures that sprout up here are seriously too small for regular cars, let alone trucks. i get where your coming from tho. that's why i have a regular cab that can park anywhere bwahahahaha. and i have long bed lol.
