You did say that you are going to upgrade to 17k fiver. Have you checked the tow limits of the single rear wheel 3500 chevy? The pin weight of the fiver could be to much for the vehicle.:C

I would be well within the weight limits of a 3500 Srw, but trying to figure out if I'm missing something.

Long beds are really great at holding 8ft sheets of plywood and letting you close the tailgate.

I went from a 6ft Styleside (car as one poster put it) F150 to an 8Ft bed f350. The 6 ft bed was fine. Maybe I just don't haul as much junk. It's all good but my next truck will be a short bed. I have no need for a long bed truck.

Now if I had a business or was hauling extra gas tanks or something like that, then maybe. Most new fivers have cut outs in the corners that a lot of users don't even use their sliders any more.

For an everyday driver give me a 6ft bed.

Thanks!
