Who needs a long bed?

Looks like you do….

Nice fish!

 

The real question is… why do I have a double cab?

 

Lets take that a few steps further. Why do I need a truck?

 

And the answer is 75+% of the non work related truck owners don't.

Think soccer dads refusing to roll a mini van.

 

Oh shit Voodoo blue! Seriously folks, it was my first choice, but then color became I will take whatever color.

 

I don’t consider myself a soccer dad, but I do have three kids… and would’ve bought an access cab if I did it again. Maybe I’m just a big stupid jerk?

 

I do. Because hauling all the ingredients for a good time 400 miles south of the border requires room.

 

It's not about who needs a LB it's just that LBs look way cooler. Lol

 

I need a long bed so I sacrificed cab space. I can’t have a long truck around here.

 

Nothing wrong with your SB. Could have left the tailgate down for a bit more length and used bungees. I had a LB 2nd gen and like my SB 3r gen much more. Hardly needed the LB. My brother in law has a single cab GMC long bed only cause he needs in for construction work.

 

Not sure I really agree with that assessment. A 5' bed is still pretty small even by non-work truck standards, especially when you factor in the small bed width compared to a full-size truck. I don't use mine for work but have cursed my decision to put a manual transmission ahead of bed length many times. My uncle has a 2021 DCLB and I confirm the extra foot makes a big difference, even for us home-gamers! Hell, Even my GT Mach One Pro 24 BXM bike is over 5.5' which means it has to be put in the box on an angle which makes it a pain loading multiple bikes.

 

Everybody.

 

If they had offered the OR Access cab in an M/T in the U.S. I would have likely gone that route for the longer bed. I didn't want the Sport variant of the Access cab with manual and no dealers near me had one on allocation so I opted for the DC. In the 6 months I have owned it I have to admit that I have used the double cab more often than I would have used a 6' bed but 95% of the time I am driving by myself with an empty 5' bed.

 

6 ft. bed

 

Yeah if i could do it all over again i’d go ACLB

 

Because the actual 8 inches in the bed really matters

 

13.2", but who's counting?
