I Went from a 16 LB to a 17 SB

I high centered my 89 buick station wagon in high school. good times. If I was worried about that I would have probably bought a jeep. But i don't, so I bought the LB and can stuff all surfboards and bikes in it at the same time. pretty stoked on that.

 

Only senior citizens have trailer hitches??? Seriously though, Texas is full of Crew Cab Full Length beds Ford, Chevy ect.

 

Typical statement by a real "dick" that doesn't know sh!t about senior citizens! I happen to be one and LOVE my SR5 DCSB!

 

I bought the short bed because I didn't need the long bed and it's longer wheelbase... and because the long bed looks awkward and ugly.

 

You should have bought the 89 Buick station wagon SB.

 

It was a joke.

 

That's f in funny. It would have cleared if I had put on that Mopar 6" lift and 35's.

 

other way around. bought a 16 TRDOR SB and cant fit shit in it. Wishing I had a LB. Then again, I'm on coilovers with bigger tires and LB only looks better that way! i will never buy a SB truck again!

 

I drive a LB everyday in crowded Los Angeles. I park it in the tightest spaces in reverse, I have a narrow driveway and live on a tight narrow street. I'm used to the size and comfortable maneuvering in it.

I feel like I'm derailing this thread, so I will stop now.

 

That is not true LB are for senior citizens. I am in my forties and I don't consider myself a senior citizen and I hope some day I can call myself a senior citizen. I have a LB and love it. No problem with hauling stuff and doing some light offroading. Also I have no problem in parking in my garage. Please give this some thought smitty. It is an honor in being a senior citizen. Obviously they have done something right to make it that far. I know of many young people who never lived to see their 24 birthday. A lot of them are gone due to something stupid. Long Beds ROCK

 

Can't sleep in a 5' bed. And not it's so much more work to haul the Mt bike around. You can't deal with 1 extra foot in length?

 

That's why I am leaning LB. I think I could "settle" for a SB but feel I wouldn't be long regretting it.

Length no issue since I am driving a Silverado Ext cab 6' bed now and drive an F-350 ext cab 8' bed at worl all day.

 

Get the LB.

 

If you can get over how ugly it is, I'd say get the long bed.

 

Looks like a "real" truck to me!! Rear tires aren't shoved up under the cab!!

 

Ugly aint it?? Wish I knew the specs on this ride.

 

I was kind of on the fence about the Long bed and the short bed too, but I ended up going with the long bed and I LOVE IT. The short bed makes the truck look tiny. I know it's only a foot difference, but the short beds look.... cute... I guess like when girls say small things look cute... like a small dog or a small lighter. The Long beds make the truck look bigger and looks more proportionate. The SB just reminds me of a frontier or a ranger... they just look tiny and I cannot get over it. There is no doubt in my mind that with a lift and some 285's the LB looks better than the SB any day.

Exhibit A:



I REST MY CASE.

 

Lift specs? 17" wheels?

 

Blistein/OME 2.5" lift on 285/70/17s.
