Long Bed vs. Short Bed

I'd be tempted by a double cab with an 8 foot box. I think with 3" lift and 32's it would look OK. I almost bought a Tundra the second time around for the access cab and 8' box.

You do some really nice work by the way. Checked out your company website.

 

Thank you very much. That's just my personal. www.neighbourhoodconstruction.com would be the business. Shameless plug.

One day when my truck has about 300k and I no longer baby it - Im putting on a flat deck

 

FTFY

 

Guys with long beds are just trying to compensate for their "shortcomings"

 

Says the guy with a "short" bed

 

Never needed anything longer

 

LOL

 

the DCSB is more like an SUV with a larger cargo area. At leas that's how I see mine. It's extremely manuverable. The DCLb Rivals your typical full size truck in length. It's more utility and less manuverable.

 

Haul more wood and a bigger moose in a long bed. May have a higher payload too.
Camper or skiddo will fit

 

Ok guys (and the 3 girls on this forum), to be completely fair, sometimes its probably a little less "cool" to have a shorter ride.

 

7ft. fishing rods fit sideways in the long bed, not in the short one. 'Nuff said!

 

Well dang, I don't want your rod in my bed anyway.

 

FTFY....

 

I had a short bed and now I have a long bed.
Like someone said you can zip around in the short bed a lot easier than the long bed.

 

I went for the SB over the LB simply because i bought a tacoma for my own personal enjoyment not for loading stuff which i still do but nothing oversized and plus I plan to take offloading soon and I assumed with a SB it would be a better experience

 

Planning on a camper or sleeping set up? That could make a difference.

 

To me, the biggest difference is the transmission choices. The DCSB is available with a 6-speed manual, the DCLB trucks are only available with an auto trans.

 

If you use your pickup to haul stuff often get the long bed. If you don't get the short bed. I am happy to have one for the fact that I put a toolbox in it and still have usable space to haul stuff, wouldn't be much left with the short bed.

With a double cab I can see how city driving would be a little bit more of a challenge.

 

I bought a dcsbor to pull my 5th wheel.
