    That's how it goes, drop a SB and lift a LB

    SB = suck

    LB = truck

    Traded the 2015 TRD Pro 6spd Supercharged on a PowerWagon and could not be happier. My 2011 Tacoma with the TX Baja package (Added by me) is still treating me great. My 1985 Toyota never skips a beat.
    Noticed a newer thread. Including all models of tacoma it looks like 42 percent of tacoma owners have shortbeds

    How long is this going to go on? Why can't SB owners just come to terms with the fact they made a HUGE mistake, trade and get a LB?

    Get over yourselves...

    My idiot license expired in june of 2012 .

    Oh.. no that was my drivers license. . I get them confused.

    And now that we know that only 58 percent of tacoma's are trucks.. the question returns to what to call the remainder.

    How about trd sport TRAComa

    I don't use the bed. I got the Taco because it's a bit less money than the FJ or 4R, and because I can't live with the FJ's poor visibility.

    My ideal Tacoma would be regular cab short bed... with a V8. :D

    Figured as much. No big deal, they're just SB's. They don't have much storage space for their feelings.

    Long bed all the way. I have yet to lament the long bed and just in the past few months I've lost count of how many times I find myself thankful for the extra foot of bed space.
