Bed size prefrence for prerunner

I am trying to decide on what bedsize to get in the four door Tacoma I buy. The year of the tacoma is 2007-2008. I like the look of the 6ft bed and kinda think the 5 1/2 looks awkward. Can anyone give me some insight on their prefrence during daily use of both bed sizes or while off-roading. Thanks

 

I have had 3 short beds. Unless you are hauling a lot of gear the short bed is more maneuverable IMHO

 

And exactly short bed is only good for just that; gear. I love having the option to throw a couch in the back or a quad or whatever. It's really convenient to be able to fit 90% of the things you want to carry in the bed if your truck

 

Also I'm uses to driving bigger vehicles. So maneuverability is a non-issue for me. Depends on the driver though
