your hauls 1st-gen shortbox

a couple guys in another thread said the shortbed on the doublecab 1st-gens could "never haul anything useful" I want to see what that bed was used to haul by your trucks. Mine has hauled MUCH useful stuff-here's only a few examples of loads over 10 years
1830lbs landscaping materials
two la-z-boy recliners
full size matress/box spring
large desk
china cabinet
2 unassembled wood computer desks and 2 unassembled wood file cabinets
large professional treadmill
1200lbs frozen turkeys
1100lbs beef in boxes
3 8-tier dollies
half of a grocery store's lunchmeat counter in milk crates
two long folding tables and a dozen folding chairs

I could go on but you get the point-this bed is very useful I would say and ALL my hauls were within the confines of a shell! One of these shortbeds OPEN with the bed extender can haul even more! Just as much as a 6' bed. Let's get your shortbed doublecab 1st-gen hauls here.

 

i think im one of the people you were talkin about ha ha and its useful. i cant say much since i have a set of roll bars and a tire mount in my bed but i like the idea of this thread.. good job

 

That would be me who says that numerous times. I am still standing by it. You can't fit my pairs of skis in the bed. Your DC is also automatic.

 

.

 

First, what is so wrong with an auto I hauled over half the total weight of your truck with it-second, what are a set of skis compared to my examples above?? That's what they make ski racks for right? Are you saying all my examples are "useless things"? You are not making any sense blanketing all short beds as useless.

 

I think it all comes down to preference. Do u want the extra cab room or the bigger bed

 

hualled some garbage and a trailer.



it fits my hockey bag and sticks so i cant complain about it.

 

four wheeler.

 

queen sized bed
fridge and furniture
etc., etc.

And 2 people (helping me unload what I haul) can fit comfortably in the backseat of my truck while I'm hauling...DC/short(est) bed, ftw!

 

All sorts of smart ass unorthodox comments to this thread flashed thru my brain but rather than bore you with those I will say, there have been so many times when I wished my 6" bed was just a little bit longer. You know, those times when you have to lay down the tailgate just so something (long piece of wood, or furniture, or christmas tree) will fit.

Its at those moments when I feel a bit of pity for my d-cab brethren. So I buck up and make it work. It could be worse, I could only have 5' to work with.

 

lol...smart ass.

 

No need for your pity-as you can see (or choose not to see) by the examples I and others listed above (you know-the lists you can't see) a lot of us work well with the 5'1&1/2" quite well-but a whole generation of trucks be damned because STLharry cannot fit his cute lil skis in his truck (which according to him can "barely be called a truck" based on that stupid little demerit) He obviously hasn't had occasion to haul anything BUT his cute lil skis in his super hot 5-speed manual that's better than an auto-oooooooh I'm shivering please
Oh and if our 1st-gen trucks be damned according to the ski bunny, then what about the bigger SECOND GENERATION trucks here that, thanks to the composite bed only have 4' to work with? Well I guess they're "not trucks at all"..so a whole new generation of trucks...I mean NON TRUCKS that have been used to haul so much for so many folks for so long CAN "BARELY BE CALLED TRUCKS" BECAUSE STLharry CAN'T FIT HIS SKIS IN HIS BED, Oh yeah makes much sense. If ya hate your truck so much get rid of it-or get a ski rack GEES do ya punch yourself in the face too harry?

 

I think my 6' bed is too small. I couldn't imagine it being any shorter, especially since I put the camper top on to sleep in when I'm camping and being 6'0 tall I wouldn't want a 5' bed.

 

Don't have a pic but I've hauled 1,998 lbs of sand.

 

That is impressive-oh but that sand is "useless stuff" but if you can fit a dumbass set of skis in there then ya got a TRUCK man!!

 

Lol. I'd forgotten all about those. They are Toyota's version of a chevy avalanche or a honda ridgeline.

 

I cannot lie, this is pretty dam sexy

 

I make my sort box work, I really like having a double cab. It is definably worth the sacrifice. Then again I do have half ton and 3/4 ton work trucks to use when I need to do anything major..
