5.5 vs 6.5 ft bed
Most half-ton crew cab trucks come with 5.5 ft beds, but for some reason I feel I would be short-changing myself. Anyone have a 5.5 ft but wish they had a 6.5 ft?

:) Hi, I bought my truck with a 5.5 foot bed and I'm very happy with it.
Reasons:
Shorter wheel base.
Smaller turning circle.
Just fits in my garage.
Just fits in my driveway.
Can carry 8' boards with tail gate down and only have about a 3" over hang.
One piece drive shaft; No shudder on take off.
These may or may not be concerns for you.
Well said. Its all up to your needs. I drove a 6.5 foot bed for years and years. Now I drive a 8 foot bed and think its the cream of the crop, because I couldn't put a 11'3" TC in a short box. just depends on your needs.
