Question on Long Bed or Short Bed...

Bought my taco a couple of weeks ago and not sure why I decided to check into this but decided to decode my VIN out of curiosity. The decoder says that I'm a long bed. When I look at my truck (don't forget I'm coming from a RAM 2500 CTD) I think - "Aww... how cute!" and realize how small it is. I then look at the bed and think - hold on a second, I think I have a short box but the damn VIN decoder says I have a long box. Every man wants theirs to be bigger than others so when I look at some of the pics I see some that sure seem bigger than mine? Genetix?

All kidding aside, doesn't this look like a short box as versus long?

 

That is a short bed. Mine says I have a moonroof.....which it doesn't.

 

It’s a short bed.

Nice looking truck by the way!

 

short bed for sure. Mine is a long bed, i think they measure a smidge on 73"

 

That is in fact the "little one"

 

I wouldn't trust the VIN decoder, but yes, you have yourself a short bed.

Give this man a cookie!

 

Thank you! It's cute... small and cute but capable as heck. I was surprise by the stock Taco and what it could accomplish.

 

Good point... it's a nut hugger!

 

short beds better anyways dood

 

FIFY:

 

This has got to be the best 14th post I've ever seen! Nice. Sorry its short! At least they have it as a long great for resale though!

 

You also have a SR5 as per the VIN. The best kind.

 

... if you have a small wiener.

 

Size does matter

 

When my insurance man put my VIN in, it came up for him as a SR5, not an Off Road. The only reason I had a concern is because I want to make sure I have adequate coverage, in the unfortunate case that it is needed - not that I want to pay anymore for insurance.

 

Make sure you get the extra money for the moonroof when/if you trade it in

 

Here you go, OP. Plug your VIN in there, it all checks out.
