now I do not have a 5th wheel and from reading the above posts, why do you need carrying room in the bed of a truck when 5th wheels have so much storage room in them. do you really haul all that stuff or even need that much stuff?
There is "dirty" stuff I probably won't want in my 5er. I may install a tool box near the cab in front of the 5th wheel hitch if I buy long bed. Don't really want tools taking up living space. Probably can't do that with a short I don't suppose. I may also create a mount to hold a pressure washer so I can wash my own rig. Maybe I need a gasoline can for that pressure washer too. Just a couple of ideas that may push me to the long bed.
I suppose I could give up the "crew cab" and just buy an "extended cab" long bed too. It looks like the big 3 have discontinued the "extended cab". That's a shame. I don't really need full back seats and taking the extended cab could save me a foot. That's ok. I plan to buy used anyway.
