How do you like your double cab long bed?

I fell in love with speedway blue and lucked out at the dealer (only one left). The longer wheelbase had me wondering how hard it would be to get into those small parking spaces but it's not bad. I find it easier to back in some places.
Even the LB seems short when hauling much of anything but then I was used to an 8' bed. I can't imagine how small the SB must be.

I love my DC LB and have no regrets!!

 

this is my third tacoma with a LB. i like the LB but only because i need it for work. if u didnt need it i would stick with a short bed. for offroading the long wheelbase makes it a little tough too. parking in the malls is an issue usually solved by parking out of the way, not too bad when its warm, but a biatch when its freezing out. but hey your buying a truck for a reason. its turning radius is acceptable/good, similar to most full size trucks. the rear seat is spacious enough for two adults, to be honest 3 "well fed american" adults wont fit. and in closing the truck has 13 cup holders!! why 13 cup holders for 4 people i dont know...i guess ...cuz toyota can

 

oh and about the color, americans in my opinion are very boring and silver has been the color of choice in all cars for the past few years...every 10 years or so one color becomes predominant...i have speedway blue...i like it bright and to stand out

 

Speedway Blue is nice

 

I love my Long bed. When my old tacoma expired after 200,000+ miles there was no other choice. I write for a bicycling magazine and do a lot of testing of recumbents. My tandem is a recumbent so my choices in truck was only a long bed. My wife argued about the dbl but now loves it. She drives it all of the time and has no problems with the length.

 

I noticed many of the DC long beds in this area have the Sport package.

Also noticed the Tacoma brochure disclaimer says - you may get reduced tire longevity with high performance tires ...

I'm not sure if they're speaking of the 18" low profile tires on the X-runner or also the stock tires (265/65-17) on the Sport package / DC long beds.

 

I'm starting to overthink things ... you just get the tires and suspension setup for your driving conditions.

 

If I could have found a DC LB TRD Off Road in Indigo ink i think I would have picked it up. It sure would be nice to be able to fit a few more people comfortably in the truck. Especially on trips. I still absolutely love my AC LB though.
