The engine weight is hanging mid air. No support one dip in the road and snap. If it was backed on it would be safer but still a bit long. My 3500 handles it well. If I went the track route it would be a simple trailer decision.

I saw a newer white Tundra with a sled deck on it the other day in Fernie. I have a new Tundra and I don't think I would ever put a deck on it unless I load one sled only and not my son's on it with mine. I find it just as easy to put the sled in the box.

Did you have to factory order/spec yours? I don’t see many of the LB 150s around the used market.
I do def agree with you guys LB is way more useful then a shorty


Yes, I could get one off the lot in construction white, hub caps, bench seat, plain jane.

Had a six foot box, but trying to bring plywood, drywall, sign board, aluminum, etc. home in the crappy weather sucked so I went back to the eight foot with a tonneau cover.
I see more and more around since I bought mine.

I went with a long box when I bought my F350 this spring, I’ll never go back to a short box again.

Yeh folks buy the shorty and then put a 8 ft deck in it !!
Don’t see the logic behind it but lots seem to ?
Have to purchase a $2-3000 dollar fifth wheel hitch so they can pull the unit behind .
More people with shorty’s then long box’s so who’s the odd ball !! Lol

There's a Tundra with a single place sled deck here in Revy right now. Has a 146 track sled on it.
