Will a 4x8 sheet of plywood fit in a Tacoma bed?

Not flat on the floor. The wheel wells are about 45 inches apart and a sheet is 48 inches, so it rides on top of the wells. The 96 inch length also overhangs both beds, so drop the tailgate and strap it.

What is the difference between the 5 ft and 6 ft Tacoma bed?

The short bed is about 60.3 inches at the floor and the long bed about 73.5 inches, roughly 13 inches longer. Both are about 45 inches between the wheel wells, so the difference is length, not width.

Can a dirt bike fit in a Toyota Tacoma bed?

A single dirt bike fits at an angle with the tailgate down and a chock. The long 6 foot bed gives more usable floor before the tailgate. Check your bike wheelbase in the calculator.
