    It would probably look as dumb as a DCSB... Actually, it would probably look better :p

    One of the core qualifications of a truck is that I have to be able to sleep in the back if needed. Since I'm 6'2", the short bed was not going to cut it.

    If you live your life in such a fashion that you've never had to sleep in the back of your truck, you're doing something wrong.

    I have a DC-SB, because the DC-LB wouldn't fit in my garage! I think the SB looks better stock, LB looks better lifted, IMO. But if you haul anything, the LB is nice, I miss having a 6ft bed...

    At least you're not in denial like the rest of the shortbedders.

    I prefer a longbed. As much big crap as I haul around, I need it. I tote around a lot of stuff like lumber, steel poles, copper tubing- stuff that it'd like to be able to lay down in the bed rather than have it hanging over the tailgate. Longer hauling space, and it looks better, IMHO. Although it's undoubtedly easier to park/maneuver with a short bed.

    Long bed here no regrets! The Toyota dealer was begging me to buy the short wheel base model, but I would not give in and ordered the long wheel base as they don't stock many LWB models in TRD sport trim.
