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?

Thanks everyone. I'm trying to plan for unforeseen needs. Things like lumber and ATVs are good to know about. In the past I did occasionally sleep in the bed with a shell, and a 6.5 is barely long enough for that, but who knows if I'll do that again. I always thought it would be nice to have a small lightweight camper for day and overnight trips, but that'll probably never happen and I wouldn't want to do that on anything less than a 3/4-ton anyway. A previous job had a parking garage and anything longer than my quad cab short bed would not have fit very well, but I don't know if I'll ever have that situation again.
