Message:
okay, so I was out looking at a friends quad cab.
it's nice, I like Dakota's. but how functional is the size of the bed?
I have a 6 foot bed, and I'm wishing I got the 8 foot bed.
Any response to this would be nice.
my friend doesn't the bed for anything other then a bag or two of trash.
thanks.

Well you can hal a 4X8 sheet of plywood without
having the taigate down with the 8' bed.
It would depend on what you plan on using the
truck for.
Mine I use just for fun so the short box was just
what I wanted and I can still hal junk when I need
to.

I like mine, it fits just about as much stuff as a 6.5ft Ram bed. I can fit an ez-up tent, chairs, luggage for 4, a stroller, fold-up crib, and 3 BMX bikes. There is still room for other gear.
If your job is to carry 4x8s then ti would be a stretch, if you only haul 4x8's for stuff around your house it would be fine.

If you got a 6' bed and want an 8' bed, I don't think the short 5.25' bed of the quad cab would be very functional for you! I don't need a long bed, have a box in the back that makes it functionally even shorter, and I'm quite happy with mine.

Remember, with the quad cab you can fit tons of
boxes\luggage in the cab with the seats up. I
drove to FL from NH with 5 suitcases in the
back seat (rain, no tonneau cover...).
As far as the size of the bed goes, I have hauled
14 sheets of 4'x8' .75" plywood in the back
w/tailgate down, between the wheels is only ~44"
I think, so the plywood would not lay flat. I also
put a 14' wooden boat back there with the outboard
and gear in the cab.
Anybody remember the commercial with the mulch
inside the quad cab when the quads first came out?
I loved that one.....too funny...

I haul tons of stuff and haven't noticed the short bed yet. ei> two full size couches stacked, filled cab high with roofing material, two friges, countless 8'sheets of plywood and sheetrock, etc.
Keep in mind....It's a foot longer than the Tacoma and Frontier QC beds! I think the glass is half-full, not half-empty!

Thank you everyone who responded. I think I will go to the dealership and look at them a little more closly. I would like to have that extra seating room while having the bed. so, I will look, thank you guys.
