    I'm so glad I found a double cab with long box . Very hard to find a long box on a double cab

    I have the short box and I hate it--can't fit anything in there--my ATV won't fit. So I'm trading it for a new Tundra soon--I miss a big truck

    DCSB FTW! I have 2 tundras i could use. one has a 6’5 bed other has 6’

    also have a trailer. If i need to move stuff I’ll just use one of the tundras and trailer and move more than a DCLB could dream of.

    Gotcha , so a DCSB is only good if you have a truck with a real box you can use

    Makes sense :thumbsup:

    Makes sense when i don’t use the SB every day. Unlike you i don’t haul tools or building stuff everyday. dcsb is better off road, camping, wheeling and hunting.

    If dad did not have a truck, or now my brother than i would have got the LB, so i had a bigger bed when i needed one.

    either way I would still need a trailer for the atv’s and rhino.

    It is because you can't get DCSB in auto. If you could like they can in US, you would see a whole lot more of them. I dare to say even more than 50% as it seems to be the case in US.

    Long bed, better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

    all AC are long bed. this thread is really just about the DCSB and DCLB not reg cab or AC cab. they both only come with the 6’ bed.

    To rephrase all Tacomas are proper size bed , 6' , or " long bed " except for the mutant DCSB
