    I think the longbed only looks good in silver and white. In that case I'd take the longbed.

    My pops has a 05 DC TRD sport. We haul a yz250f and a yz125 with bags and everything in the back and its perfectly fine. I have a 09 Tacoma reg 4cyl. I like having the long bed though. My dad drives 60 miles round trip and i used to be the only one in the family to haul stuff (dirtbikes) and it worked fine. It all depends on what your using it for. But i prefer my truck cause of the bed. But his truck cause i has motor :rolleyes:

    So get the long bed ;)

    LONG BED! unless your going to do long travel and race in the desert, then a SB would be okay.

    reason i think he got a SB is because he has to park in a little parking log thats SUPER busy. we own a business in a little plaza place where traffic is hectic

    Don't get me wrong, i would like to have the extra space in a long bed. But i can fit my YFZ450 in the back of mine with the tailgate down and my 15+foot long drag banshee isn't going to fit in the back of neither so i chose the short bed.

    Think they look way better IMO

    For me I needed a tool box so I had to get the long bed. Have plenty of space and It looks great with a 3"+ lift on them.

    I need some bigger tires but otherwise it looks way better then stock. LBFTW!!! :)

    Short bed for the shorter wheel base, better for off-roading. Personally I like they way they sit beter too.

    Long bed. I wouldn't even consider a short bed.

    I think the Long Bed is more proportional with the double cab but it's a personal call.
