Long vs Short

Depends if you want to put it in a garage or not

 

Will be outside!! Dad want let me put his Jeep Outside and mom want let me put hers outside...so it will be sitting in the driveway next to the current Tacoma

 

The SB fits my needs well. It will all depend on what you will use it for the most.

 

All around, I like the long bed. Looks, utility, and the extra space in the drive-train it allows for. There have been a couple of situations where I've actually said to myself that it would be impossible to get this job done if I had settled on the short bed.

Also, if anyone here is outdoors-y, it's a lot easier to fit two people into the back with a canvas cover on those nights where the ground is wwwaaayyyy too cold to sleep on. Even have an outlet for a heater.

 

I went with the long bed for more cargo space and it looks more proportional with the DC. I only wish the DCLB came with the 6 speed... The only thing I'm not happy about with my truck, but so far have been loving it!

It all comes down to what your needs are, listed in order to figure it out.

 

Short bed. That extra 12 inches in the bed is worthless. If you haul something everyday then get a fullsize truck. I have a short bed with a tool box and I have more than enough room to carry whatever I need to. If the item is too big then I will get a trailer.

 

Uses
haul lawn mower, wood, gravel, dirt, four wheeler, trash and a few other little things!

 

I've never wished I had a short bed. I think the sb's look funny and I hate the way the fender flares look on them, they just end at the cab.

shortbed ,i read on here longbeds have same wheelbase as chevy tahoes

 

Every inch matters

 

Thats what she said

 

^^


Shortbed. So I can fit it in my garage. Haha, that's what she said!

 

I got a pretty big garage! I can park my current truck in with plenty of room to spare!

 

I've never looked at my LB and wished it was shorter but keep hearing SB folks say they wish they had a LB once in a while. If you wheel seriously then a LB can be a disadvantage... for everyone else I recommend it.

 

If your planning on putting a lift on it I would go short bed! They look really good lifted

 

I dnt wheel much but I plan to some!!! And I want to add a 3 inch lift to the long bed

 

Long bed all the way! I just like the way it looks and an extra 12 inches do make a difference

 

long bed =awesome
short bed = gay

 

lmao~ this thread! I personally like to sleep with the tail gate closed most the time...
