Where are all the long beds?

Love my long bed.

 

My only regret, besides getting a 16 Tacoma, is not getting the long bed version. I live in the city so I thought I would have trouble parking it on the street or in parking garages.

In hindsight, I've probably only been in a situation where that mattered twice in the year I've owned it. Maybe a few more times than that, but the number of times I wish I had an extra foot in the bed is pretty significant. I went on a big kayak camping trip where we all piled into the truck and that extra foot would have been really nice for stowing gear. Also, being able to throw a kayak in the back would worrying too much if its gonna flip out of the back (or if I need to buy a trailer or hideous bed extender). Not to mention I'd consider a cap, but a cap on a short bed seems like a waste.

I also really like the look of them more. The SB's look lopsided from the wrong angles. I think that extra foot makes the truck's lines look better.

 

agree 100% that the DCLB looks better.

DCSB looks horrendous, though not as bad as the Tundra Crewmax which looks like a sumo wrestler (front) wearing a thong (rear)

To me the best proportion Taco is the ACLB and the best proportion Tundra is the DoubleCab 8 feet bed

 

I'll never own another short bed again. Long Bed 4 Life!!!!

 

Long bed or bust. They do need a bit of a lift to look proportioned correctly. 1.5" front and 1" 5100 kit
Long

 

I agree 100%.

I agonized over that decision for a long time, but unfortunately I have friends, family, a girlfriend, a dog, etc that makes the DC a necessity. I probably could have made the AC version work, but I am glad that I got the dual cab.

 

Have you changed your grill? Really like the step bars!

 

How has nobody answered "Canada" yet?!

 

My ol girl got shot on Monday.

 

I agree with Stiffler that a bit of a lift is needed for optimum looks. Stock, I almost think the SB looks more correct but lifted, I really like the LB. Ironically, having posed this question today, i happened to come out of the doc's office to find another LB intenionally (I assume since there were spots everywhere) parked right next to mine (the MGM is mine).

 

Yes I have a dbcustomz grill.

 

I like that. Great looking truck!
Did your rear bumper come paint match black or did you do that yourself? Mine came with the mix of black and chrome and I want the chrome gone!

 

Thanks man. The bumpers came like that,I thinks the come color matched on all of the off road models

 

Had to have the OR AC, no use for DC, and needed bed space. Shoulda went to Canada to get the OR with MT, but I have adjusted to the auto. Its not ideal, but I have adjusted to how it works and its fine.

 

You get painted bumper with the tech package.

 

There you have it. The tech package!

 

According to Toyota specs the breakover angle is the same for long bed to short bed. Unless I am reading their specs wrong?

 

Wooo Hooooo

I always thought it was worse in the long Bed. Shoots a hole right in the Small Bed argument. I mean another hole

 

There is no way that can be right.
