Tacoma Sales

True, but most people that own a truck likely don't do a lot of serious hauling (to the point of needing the longer bed). Of course it isn't all about looks, though. If you need the longer bed, then you need it. But for the average truck consumer, I think most get by fine with the smaller bed, and prefer it over having an extremely long truck.

That's why the DCLB is overwhelmingly the least seen configuration.

 

Clearly I ain’t in San Diego where the DCLB looks longer.

 

The DCLB is markedly longer. And it especially shows on these trucks (as opposed to full size) because of the proportions of a mid-size truck.

It has nothing to do with where one lives...

 

The DCLB looks good up here.





...just yanking your chain dude. Have a good one...

 

so we all agree that more short bed tacomas are sold/manufactured than long? or.... yeah why people choose long over short is important but does anyone know numbers or hard facts?

 

i'm sure toyota has the numbers, but i doubt they would share the info.

 

But we do get the best configuration, ACLB OR with the 6MT. I wish they still made an ACLB SR5 2.7L 4x4 5MT. I remember looking at them new on the lot in 2009, $26k or so.

 

they'd be a whole lot cooler if they did

 

My guess is about 10% long beds in the Chicago area. How about some guess for your area?

 

If we aren't counting AC's, I'd say it's probably about the same in my area (if that). I very rarely see DCLB's.

 

The double cab sport with the manual is a short box.
I prefer the long box myself. I have had my bed loaded to the max too many times to warrant a short box.
