Trailhunter owners: 5ft vs 6ft bed decision?

[trailhunger]

I need a truck to carry the 3500 lbs of diving gear that we normally take down there. Volume wise it fills the 6 foot bed to the roof of a wedge ARE camper and completely fills the back of the extra cab. I'm curious to see with the rear seats removed if we get the same storage volume in the 2024. The landcruisers and 4runners don't have enough storage space- it's wasted with seat structure.

I did a rear delete on the back seats in my trailhunter. Can do the same with the LC.

3500lbs? Are you trailering? What kind of offroad trailer you using?

Was also considering doing the rear seat delete ..don’t have little ones and didn’t buy a taxi..only the dog will go in back

I’ve always been in the camp of a midsize truck shouldn’t be the same length as a full size truck. A Tacoma with a 6’ bed is only 6” shorter than a full size crew cab with a 5’5” bed.

Sure, the Tacoma isn’t as wide. But I’ve found parking a 6’ bed double cab Tacoma vs the full size I just mentioned to be about the same effort in town. With the full size actually being easier, since you can see over and around other vehicles due to the height.

If I was to get a midsize, it would have the 5’ bed.
