Short or long

Big thing for me, my friends that I camp with had a long bed and I always had to fill up before he did.

My standard bed 3/4 Crew cab has a 38 gallon tank. I think any of the HD trucks come with the bigger tank now.

ok what size is considerd standered

A Ford Super Duty Regular Cab's floor length of bed = 98.0"

The Super Duty SWB = 81.8 or 98.0 for the LWB in either the Super Cab or the Crew Cab versions.

I don't think there is a standard length anymore. At least for Ford. If Ford offers different bed lengths for the versions above then the ones stated above would be considered "standard"

within the last year I've had both a short box and a long box and just the comfort of the longer wheelbase and additional room make the long box the best idea. If you plan on towing a fiver over 10k Lbs a 1 ton is better than 3/4 ton. Just my thoughts.

Pretty much depends on what you do with the truck when NOT towing. Or if you need a dually for your towing needs. As most duallies are long bed. Except the Ram Mega Cab dually. That is a long wheelbase truck with a shorter bed.

I have no need for a long bed. So my 6.75' bed is good.

Love it...

I've had the short wheel base truck, but prefer the long. It rides much better and, at least with the Chevy, has a larger fuel tank.

In Chevy and GMC the 6.5' bed is standard, the 8' bed is long and the 5' bed is short.

I have a F250 crew cab with a 6'7" bed. I have a 16K Reese manual slider that I use every time I back into a site. It's easy to use and gives me one less thing to watch out for, so why not? I want to park in my garage and I use my truck for a daily driver so no long bed/ long wheel base for me, and I can park it almost anywhere.

8' used to be standard bed. Now, it is called long, and std is a shorter one! Like everything, nowadays less is more!
