Short bed won't allow for such a nice BIG 30" front to back tool box. Along with a really nice hitch.
Nice setup. I have the Patriot and am looking at getting a box similar to yours.
I have a Ram 2500 CC LB 4x4. I just look at it as a fun challenge for parking rather than a hindrance. I came from an F150 CC 5.5" box so I skipped the 6.5" box. I just park a little further away at Safeways or other big stores. Not really that big a deal. Biggest draw back is when backing in, in tight situations where the front of the truck is swinging around. I have the wife spot the front right since I can't see anything over there. Other than that I wouldn't say I'd never have a SB. I just like all the extra room between the 5th hitch and cab as well as the 8' bed length for trips to Home Depot.
If I were to go to a TT again and different truck I'd probably go SB.
I was lucky and found my box on CL for $300. New they are North of $1,000 but worth every penny.
