    Long bed, if I wanted a short bed I would just get an SUV.

    That was my point. Make the AC bed 1' longer, then it would share the same wheel base as the DCLB, giving it an 8' bed. Also make an RC with an 8' bed and it would have the same wheel base as an AC.

    Actually, I share his opinion. The 2nd gen 6 Luger Tacoma looks the most proportioned as an access cab.

    Sry.. Would be cool if you could get an RC with the 8' option and an AC with the 7' option, would make a toolbox work for me.

    I opted for the short bed so the truck fit in my garage easier. The long bed would have fit, but with only an inch or two to spare in front and back. Would have been way too close for comfort.

    It might have been said already, but I'm pretty sure a shorter "box" will give you a "tighter" ride. ;) :bananadance:

    DCSB can't do truck stuff

    Shouldn't your truck be able to do truck stuff

    Oh my truck can do truck stuff. I don't have to haul Sasquatch around in the bed. I was talking about a different kind of box though. ;)
