TFL may have grenaded their ADD, but R4T on YouTube took their ā24 OR long bed to the same trail with different results. Judge for yourselves.

I agree. It's also good if the issue was related to MTS programming because they might be able to just push out a software update.

The title is total click bait, means nothing. Some seem to have a hard time accepting the TFL truck broke when it shouldnāt have. Time will tell why it failed, whether it was a fluke lemon part or something Toyota will upgrade or engineer a fix for.
I do have a new appreciation for a short bed. I can see how itās more nimble off road. They look a bit odd with a 4 door cab and a small box, but both beds have their advantages and uses.

Take a look at this video, specifically at 9:50. I feel like this is very similar to what happened to TFL's truck.
Notice even though the driver side front tire is barely touching the ground yet that CV ends up snapping. This makes me go back to what some were saying about the MTS programming.

yep. Same here. That short box is soooo nimble. I will say this vid gives me further peace of mind about deciding on a DCLB, because Iām not planning to do more than this sorta thing with it off road anyway so itāll be fine. I haul too much nonsense around for work for a 5ā bed, otherwise Iād prob go with that. Iām so glad Toyota kept the option for either bed size

I agree with the nimble take. I canāt do the wheelbase of the long bed; it is not very off road-friendly. I also think the short beds look much better, and the long beds look a little goofy. The long beds appear anatomically awkward. But, to each their own! Iāve seen some beautiful long bed builds over the years that, despite my preferences, I wouldnāt mind owning.

By "start having trouble" do you mean like TFL "started having trouble"? You're kind of screwed at that point.
