Where are all the long beds?

Women already have enough reasons to laugh at me, I don't need to show up on Tinder dates with a short bed...

 

GO Long Bed or Go Home... I had a 1979 SB 4x4. Later I had a full size F250 so going from 8 ft bed to 5 ft is not an option for me.

 

The dealer told me that only 15 percent of Tacomas are made dclb. No idea if that's true but based on what I see is say it's about right. I couldn't stand the short bed. I want to be able to put skis in the back and sleep in the back too. Can't do that in the short bed.

 

Pimpin ain't easy these days my man

 

Troublesome? I haven't heard of anyone having trouble with one. I have heard of them being undefilled with fluid and a dislike for the "busyness" of how often it shifts, but that doesn't bother me because I understand what the truck is trying to do.

 

An OR DCLB makes no sense IMO. Truck is heavier, has a larger breaker over angle and has reduced payload for Truck duty thanks to soft suspension.

 

It would work perfectly for what I have planned for it. This one will be just fine too.
Im not much concerned with payload. If Id have wanted payload I would have kept my 1 ton diesel.

 

I couldn't settle for a short bed. The long beds are already short enough. Access cab doesn't have to worry about short beds but I must say double cab long beds are gorgeous.

What I can't believe is when people with short beds put one of those toolboxes in back... they have a good 4 feet to left work with, if that...

 

Id only ever buy a long bed smh

 

Short beds are for soccer moms.

 

I thought Ridgeline were for soccer moms

Make up your mind

 

Those too my friend!

 

theres no arguing with this!

 

Love my '17 DCLB TRD OR!
Next is a black out project!

 

that's honestly one of the best looking Tacos, I've seen. Beautiful man!

 

That's not really what i meant. Sure, an internet or forum search will turn up some pics but when you look at the general thread population, its all about the short bed. That's really what I meant. Just trying to figure out everyone's reasoning for one over the other and this thread has been great for that so far!

 

WOW WOW

didn't know could get those wheels on the SR5. LOVE it. gorgeous

 

So what are the numbers? Not much difference really. Suspension? Most replace the suspension on Tacomas anyway regardless of how long the bed is.
