Bed Size ?

Looking today at the Double cab but was unsure which bed id s best 5 ft or 6 ft. Anyone more desirable down the road - just don't want to make a costly mistake.

 

I assume you're not getting a manual tranny

 

Search the forums. This topic has been absolutely beaten to death.

Lots of info on here about that, like someone said just do a search and good luck.

 

Only you can decide that.

 

Basically its up to you, but here's some things to consider:
-What are you gonna use it for?
Hauling things= long bed
Off road=short bed

IMO i would go for DCLB, I think they look better lifted too but I need it for hauling things

hope that helps with you decision!

 

Thanks - I tried search but saw no real answers as if the 5 ft bed is one upon resale they will knock you for not having the 6 ft.

Dealer has a double cab/ V6 / TRD for $27.9k

 

I have a 2 door w/ long bed. I do like having the longer bed when I'm doing work around the house.... trips to Home Depot, Mulch run, Leaves p/u Drop off, Plywood, moving stuff, etc. I do not "need" the long bed but I'm glad I do have it when I do use it .

However, With the double cabs I'd probably get the short bed since the whole shebang is getting a little too long. hard to Park, Turning Circle, off road, etc. And it should save some dollars In the long run.

 

Long bed all the way. My turning radius is amazing so thats not an issue. I love being able to fit a lot of stuff in the bed including myself when I camp. I don't know why anyone would go with a shortbed, they are not practical at all.

 

Double cab has a 5 1/2 foot bed with the short bed.

 

I have a queen size Serta iComfort with adjustable base and massage. It's very comfortable.

Wait, wut?

 

Neither. ACCESS cab long bed! FTW

 

I guess one or other has no special resale value then - either or about the same.

 

DITTO

 

Anyone know which one sells more ? Long or Short ?

 

I would venture a guess and say DCSB but I have no evidence to back that up. Just what I see on the road most often. LB are few and far between around here.

 

US ~ DCSB
Canada ~ DCLB

 

Thanks for replies wonder if there is a actual # of each sold in the US what percentage it is 60% SB 40 % LB % as well what is most popular color ?
