    I do like that it is not as long and I can easily navigate downtown Portland. And it keeps me from bringing extra crap when camping.

    I took the SB for a ride and they felt only slightly different SB/LB and my wrangler was almost as long so I said wth and went with the LB (it came with SR package and blk wheels so why not, I like blk whls);)
    Cheers

    Ok the argument about navigating a DCSB is easier than a DCLB is weak. One is what 20' long vs 21'? You guys make it sound like its a comparison between a geo metro and a tractor trailer. NEXT.

    Yeah it really isn't that big of a vehicle either way.

    I like my AC LB set up. I don't need space for people in the back and I have enough room for stuff like camping/kayaking with the bed.

    The parallel parking spots in Portland are designed for Prius' and SMART cars. I agree the extra foot in length is not a make or break, but I have inches to spare when parking. Plus I got a good deal on my truck and wasn't going to pass it up.

    If I had it to do over again I would buy the DCLB, but fitting (barely) in the garage is a big plus. Gotta score it if you are keeping track.

    Love the look of the DCSB but own a DCLB for the practicality for my work and the flat bed. Once this one is paid I'll get myself a DCSB
