    My first Toyota in high school was a 1981 longbed 2WD. I realy liked it because it was lowered and that sucker looked sweet being that long/low. I wish I still had photos...

    I prefer the shortbed now and I voted as such. 4WD these days.

    It is legal, around here atleast, to put a car seat in the front seat, if you have no back seat and the air bag is turned off. :D So your good to go! :p

    I ended up with a longbed just because it was the only truck on the lot that had all the options I was looking for. Now that I have it, the shortbed equipped trucks look kind of weird to me.
