Replying to: rorr (Dec 28, 2006 9:31 am) All that's official now are Toyota's designations of short bed. regular bed. long bed. The 31 initial configurations are published already so that the dealers can order the vehicles. In the CrewMax bodies all that's available is the 'short bed'. Now how long the short bed is will have to wait until Jan 7th. If the short bed is only 5.5' then Toyota may be waiting for the debut of the diesel in the near future to offer regular and long bed options for the CrewMax. |

Replying to: vixter (Dec 28, 2006 9:36 am) Given a 97.6" bed length for the DC Long Bed (on the 164.5" chassis), I have a hard time seeing a bed length over 30" shorter on that same chassis. Well, maybe for a limo version....  However, given a 78.7" bed length for the DC Reg Bed (on the shorter 145.7" chassis), I can certainly see the shorter 66.7" bed for the DC+ (Crew Max). Which tells me that, come next spring, the initial Crew Max trucks will arrive on the shorter chassis. Perhaps the Crew Max Reg Bed (on the longer 164.5" chassis) won't arrive until the HD versions are released (with perhaps an available diesel) sometime in '08?

| ... will be on the Toyota Website on Jan. 7, which is after its official intro at the Chicago auto show. As stated by others earlier, there will be NO longbed Crew Max. My only exposure to the Crew Max was to sit in one at a sales training seminar on the West Coast (last week). It IS appreciable larger than the Double Cab and the rear seatbacks recline. I should have a 5.7 to drive within a week or so and will report. | |
... will be 6.5 feet.

Replying to: toyotadad (Dec 28, 2006 12:24 pm) That would make it 78" long. On the Tundra website Toyota lists the regular bed as being 78.7" long. The configuration list from Toyota indicates that the CrewMax comes only in the 'short bed'. Unless it was a typo back a month or so ago it seems the DCab bed will be shorter than the regular bed... at least initially.

Replying to: kdhspyder (Dec 28, 2006 12:43 pm) Careful.... Are you saying the DOUBLE CAB bed will be shorter than the regular bed (at least initially)? Toyota's miniwebsite for the new Tundra lists the DOUBLE CAB with two bed lengths: 78.7" and 97.6". I think you were referring to the Crew Max version; not the DCab....
