    If it was a DCLB you probably could've closed the tailgate :D :stirthepot:

    BTW to OP I prefer the LB due to the fact I use my truck for work and need the added space for my tools.

    What OZ-T said. Go with a 6 foot bed. I had a short bed for years and I can recall at least once or twice a month I would say, "I wish the bed was just a little longer." Now that I have one, I don't regret getting it and I would never go back. It is a long truck though and you do have to get used to parking it.

    I never liked mounting a bike like that off the tailgate. Here's mine with the tonneau cover still attached:

    Yeah its really silly looking but you have a DCLB while the photo i posted is of a DC offroad with that super stubby useless truck bed. Lol

    I shouldn't even refer to it as a truck bed...

    If you currently have a F250, you must have some need for a truck. The short bed Tacoma will be a disappointment. The long bed isn't really that big as far as trucks go.

    My only regret is not going for the DCLB. They look correctly proportioned and I could use the added bed space for my motorcycle and other exploits.
