    DCLB all day! The shortbed does look great and definitely can see the benefit for a serious trail rig, but it's a truck...it needs to be able to hold shit haha

    I'm sure Toyota is saying... "When our engineer's fucked up and made the short bed by mistake we are so lucky the consumers have no common sense and bought them without knowing how useless they are".

    I'm guessing it went like this: "Hey, you guys think we can dupe anybody into buying a midsize that's as long as a suburban and has no v8 option all while maintaining lackluster towing capacity? Let's give this a shot."

    Pshhh... you call that squatting? We can carry more shit with our LB's and I could squat twice that much...:eek:

    Actually, I believe LB's have less cargo capacity.

    It's 1 ft less. You act like the SB is a five gallon bucket. I guarantee I could fit any and all cargo that you could and then some, due to the added capacity. That and my truck can go more places without high centering.
