Things a 6' bed can do that a 5' bed can NOT. AKA - Why no one takes 3rd gen’s seriously thread.

It may be short... but it's also skinny!

 

Turn it into a camper and explore the country?

 

Cut 14" out for badassery offroad and still have a shortbed.

 

It’s so cute. I love it.

 

My wife says the same thing about my 5' bed.

 

Said, no one before the year 2000...

 

I have a 6 foot bed with a cap/shell. I can carry two bicycles upright (with the front wheels removed) safe, secure and out of the weather or one bike lying down with both wheels on. I don't think either of those would be possible in a 5 foot bed.

 

Yeah but just owning a Tacoma turns most of us 4's into 7's also invest in an Irish ruler, you'll like the stats much better!

 

I would have preferred the 6 ft bed, but the 5ft bed makes a difference in garage space and turning radius. So overall, I prefer the shorter truck.
Bed extenders do make all the difference.

Dude, I love what you did there.

 

A 6’ bed will hold one piece 7’ fishing rods without bending. Pet peeve of mine.

 

OK, this place just gets weirder and weirder...

 

Size does Matter!! No one ever says I wish it was smaller!!

 

The Angry Inch!!! JK

 

Is that your wife’s nickname for you?

 

Yes LOL GOOD ONE

 

I got my dclb to make up for my Penis size!!

 

When I bought my 2010 DCSB my buddy chuckled and said "where are you gonna sleep?"
I said "ugh ...in my bedroom at home"

If I'm camping I have a Napier SUV tent that attaches to the top of my open Cap and inflatable bed mattress that fits with the tailgate down.
Totally enclosed and the dogs sleep in the tent looking up at us.

 

Mega Cab Tacoma! Or stubby for better off-road capability

 

Can also just turn the lights off.

 

I've fit 7ft rods diagonally but it is very tight and not more than 2ish
