    That's only due to the fact that they make less LB's... So I'd be willing to bet that at least 75% of the shortbed owners would have bought LB's had they been able to. Then there are the limited number of (Bad name calling) people like you that bought one anyway because you think somehow it looks and performs better :der:

    I think he's trying to say that Tacoma owners in Canada are smarter. If the stats are true I'd have to agree. What person in their right mind would be a truck that isn't even a truck. Just sell your Tacoma, you can fit more in the front trunk of your Porsche. Is that thing AWD? Just buy a lift kit for it and you wouldn't miss your Taco a bit.

    thats because the dclb are auto and dcsb are manual... everyone wants auto for some reason?

    6ft isn't a long bed anyway. I would max out the payload before I ran out of space in my dcsb. I bought a diesel with a 8ft box for work now, lots of space and payload now!

    probably has more to do with sales than the bed length?
