Long Bed 4 Door

The local dealers seem to be receiving quite a few Long Beds.
Is there a demand and what are some opinions?

 

I need the space of 4 doors and want the 6' bed. Also, personally, not a fan of the look of DCSB.

 

i like the long bed better.. my son had a short bed and that tiny thing was all but useless.

 

Who is your local dealer?

 

I like the long bed BUT not the longer wheelbase when it's on a double cab. Access cab for me.

 

It’s about context & perspective. My DCLB Tacoma is 13” shorter in wheelbase than my CrewCab shortbed Silverado 2500…

My DCLB Tacoma is 5” longer than my old ‘94 Chevy Suburban K2500, but not as tall nor wide.

 

I drive a 07 4 door with the 5’ bed and i find myself constantly wishing I had the 6’. Although I do use my bed for work on a daily basis.

 

Ehh?
Also: notice any difference in wind noise with the sunroof deflector?

I thought I'd miss my 6' bed more than I actually do.

 

Please explain that acronym. Ha Ha!

 

I think stock longbeds look a bit out of proportion. But with a lift or a canopy, I think they look great. But the 44' turning diameter is a turn off for me - it's equal to half tons.

 

^Me too^

 

it did reduce the nasty buffeting a bit.

 

BBQ makes everything better!

 

As a long bed owner, it was a must for me as I thought I'd sleep under the camper shell. I do like the looks of the DCSB better to be honest.



Although I did build a camp trailer and took the camper shell off. I still have it just in case I don't/can't take the trailer.

 

I traded in my DCSB for a DCLB. I use the bed all the time and while the 5' bed did everything I asked of it, I love the 6' bed. I can lay my 6' ladder flat in the bed and close the tailgate and tonneau.

 

I like the lines and proportions of the DCLB of all the Tacoma models. But even the ACLB I bought feels big on our back roads.
