Does anyone ever wish they got the long bed instead of the SB

if i buy another tacoma, it will definitely be a long bed....5ft bed sucks when you are trying to haul things around.

 

I regret not getting a 4Runner when I had the chance.... Oh well.

 

DCLBFTMFW No regrets, but I did have to put on BullaCulla's hidden trailer plug mount after I tore the original off

 

Wanted a long bed but wouldn't fit in my garage. So shortbed it is!

 

My truck is the same length if I drive in forward or backward.

 

Went with the long bed over getting the off road, and don't regret it one bit!

 

If I had a short bed I'm sure I'd regret it. I sleep in the bed sometimes so I need a long bed.

Short bed..

 

you could start a little fire.

 

I wanted/needed the Off-Road model truck for e-locker, atrac. The truck has delivered consistently, day after month, after year. I've lived with SB limitations and made it work. No regrets.

 

I'm starting to look at DCLBs now. First thing I did was check the garage. It will fit if I rethink my bench/tools/garage junk layout.

I'd want the extra bed length any day for hauling project stuff/lumber and for camp stuff. Otherwise, might as well get a 4runner and a trailer.

 

You'll need the TSB AAL to haul all that!

 

I need the bed space more than a shorter wheel base. I don't off-road hard enough anyway, it's a capable hunting truck.

 

DCLBFTMFW! Sure it's been posted somewhere in here but just because...

I needed a toolbox in the bed for all of my stuff and still wanted to have bed space so DCLB for me!!

EDIT: ^^ Plus what he said

 

Let's convince Toyota to give us one of these:

 

I've owned an 06 DCSB, a 13 DCLB, and a 14 DCLB .......... DCLB rules!

 

I see a bunch of people stating that they got the DCSB because it can fit in their garage...

It's a truck. Trucks are to be dirty.

I actually just found out, while preparing for the OME install, that my DCLB does fit in the garage with the door closed.

 

DCLBFTMFW!

Yes mine fits in the garage with a foot to spare.

 

Never.... I owned an access cab for 7 months and I can honestly say everything that wouldn't fit in this 5' bed (kayaks namely) don't fit in the 6' bed either. There's very few things that are too big for a 5' but still fit in a 6'. Most things fall into the category of "just doesn't fit at all" and at that rate a rack or trailer is essential, regardless of bed.

The extra interior room with a DCSB vs AC is killer though. Losing the money on that trade in was rough, but it was a great decision.

DCLB was never an option due to the wheelbase and the fact that these already have a poor enough turning radius with a DCSB. A foot of wheelbase was not welcome.
