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

This is what the Hilux’s looked like when I was in Japan back in the 80’s.

 

Super valid points man, and I couldn't agree more with you.. It will be interesting to see what the next 10-15 years hold here.

 

I specifically bought a DCLB specifically for hauling a Dirt Bike. Plus I like the look!!!

 

It's quite surprising sometimes how much the little 1' difference can make. You never really think about it till the day you need it.

 

That tent attachment looks like a 'suicide module' to me...

 

Bagger eh?

 

We all bought small trucks so embrace small beds!

 

Is that a 390 Adventure? How are you liking that bike?

 

Tight

 

Sleep people, haul a washer and dryer set at the same time, not have lumber hang out, fit more firewood, fit a couple dirt bikes, etc etc. More space is more space so more space fits more stuff. Don’t get fancy with it. Simply put, can fit/carry more of whatever.

 

That’s what I did too

 

Five ft bed doing work, 2"x12"x12's. Just have to strap em in good and say "that's goin' nowhere"

 

@cwhet10 's truck says youre wrong.

 

Just picked it up last week. I need to log 600miles before they’ll unlock the rev limiter.
But so far it seems like a great option for a cheap bike. Wife has the Svartpillen 401, so have a pretty good idea what to expect out it. But it’s definitely just a cheap bike.

 

...and the replacement search for my 650gs continues.

 

Make a porno

 

Well, a smaller truck bed would make "your" penis look bigger...maybe.

 

I think it’s going to be an awesome little bike, but at the end of the day I paid $7500 Canadian OTD for a brand new bike. So I’m keeping my expectations fairly low.

What are the shortfalls of gs that you’re looking to overcome?
