Box or Bed?

Ok, I have heard everywhere people calling DCSB Double Cab Short BED, and Double Cab Short BOX. So which is it?
I know what a long/short bed is, but what is a long/short box?
Thanks

 

Sounds like people getting their words messed up to me.... at the end of the day one is about six feet long one is not....

 

same

 

Potato.

Cap or topper?

Hood or bonnet?

Wheel or rim?

 

say wut / what

 

I have heard both used and both are one and the same thing.

 

Official Toyota lingo is bed:

Color or colour

Same thing..........

Boot, bonnet

Trunk, hood

 

Not entirely true , colour is spelled correctly

 

Soda/pop (or coke for those in the real south)
Bubbler/fountain
Hot dish/ casserole
Wheel /rim
Basement /cellar

 

Cruise control or speed control?

Speed control for me!

 

Short box seems to sound better than short bed, and long bed sounds better than long box, at least to me anyhow.

 

Well the difference is the size of the BED. So where does box come from?

 

wut / what ?

 

the only difference between DCSB & DCLB is the legnth of the bed. so where does the term "box" come from

 

My grandmother used to use the term 'TONIC' when referring to soda/pop.

 

"box" is an old school term used for pickups...because a "bed" is on an open or stake side truck w/ a flat "bed" cargo area.

when there are body sides and a body tailgate...it becomes a "boxed" cargo area.

 

I have always used bed.

 

bed and box are interchangable terms

I still don't get the DCSB / DCLB comparison to bed / box though
