Short box vs Long box

arguments for pro long bed:

1. I can carry SOO much more stuff with the extra foot of bed length.
2. I can lay down in the bed and sleep.
3. I can get stuck on small rocks with my limo wheelbase
4. I can make 40 point turns to make a U-turn on a residential street austin powers style

fixed again

 

Forgot to add I'm at the top of the hill waiting for the SB's to finish they're multiple gear hauling trips.

6. I never actually made it up the hill because my approach and departure angles are too small
7. And i got high centered
fixed again

 

after that last one I am glad i cant lay down in my truck bed

 

Approach and and departure angles are the same with LB & SB. Until I pull the Heep out. Then B.O.A., A.A., and D.A. are umm , a little less than impressive LB or SB. But that's not the point is it?

 

I'm just gonna pretend this is a PM and say that if I really wheeled the yota, I would wish it was a bobbed short bed....... I didn't say that.

 

Damn i was just throwing the approach and departure angles out there no idea if it was true or not hahaha

This thread is nonsense, if you like long beds... get a long bed. If you like short beds... get a short bed. Can't we all just get along?

 

I wont tell anybody

 

This and my street bike were the only time thus far I needed it down

Ultimately both times my cargo was secure...either way it boils down to a personal preference...

 

Short bed looks retarded IMO. Looks as if it was hit by a semi and shoved the fenders into the back of the cab. Bad design with a lot less function. Just my opinion.

 

Never!

 

We can meet in the middle at Standard Bed!


wasn't called a long bed back then . . . ha

 

1. Being that bed is kinda narrow and not very deep. you can’t fit all that much more. if the bed was wider and deeper then yes. but you can still fit a little more then a SB.
2. i’m 5’8” and can lay down in the SB so yeah. have to lay corner to corner but can do it.

edit: It’s still a mid size truck. if you talking full size with a 5’ bed VS a6’ being that a full size is wider and has a deeper bed. the 6” would be able to haul quite a bit more. but we talking a mid size, that kinda has a narrow bed(even at it’s widest points.) and is not very deep.

 

I do wish we had 48" between wheel wells so we could hawl plywood or sheetrock flat. Thats my one real complaint on these beds, short and long.

 

Ignorant...

 

2x6 across the bed notches

 

Works like a charm

 

Yea I've thought of that, but i do wish they were a little wider.

 

Yep
