I not my intent to be mean or rude, but I really have never understood why people buy a short bed truck without a specific reason. Typically, they discover it is very limited. Makes no difference if it is a Ford, GM or Ram. Makes no difference if it is gas or diesel. I really think they only see a paint job, maybe looks cute, or it is more affordable. I sure hope it is not because they do not have confidence in driving a 8-foot bed truck. For me, when I make a major purchase costing thousands of dollars, I think it through. It is no time for impulse decisions. I do understand there are many reasons to have a short bed, but if you cannot deal with another 18-inches of length, maybe you should buy a midsize or mini truck.
I apologize if this post offends anyone, that is not my intent.

I can give you my reasons Wayne.I came from a crew cab, long bed F350 so I'm not scared of length. I have three boys and two dogs. I need/wanted a crew cab again. Ram makes a megacab...and it is awesome for a family vehicle. Since my truck has my kids in it more than a TC on the back, I took the shortbed to have a bigger cab. Would I prefer a long bed? You bet. Even looked and talked to the company that converts megacabs to longbeds. 8k is a lot of cash...so, shortbed it remains.Obviously, my truck is as long as a crew with a longbed...so it not a smaller truck.
I know your post was aimed at the guys with a bed choice...just wanted to point out us few megacab owners.
