How many of you pull a 5er with a standard bed?

I don't need a 8' bed do I? Now (unless the scales show me differently) I can do a 3/4 ton instead of a 1 ton... I really want to keep this vehicle as compact as I can.. We will do a little off roa...

I like an 8' bed because I like having my bed tool box and fifth wheel. Try that with a 6'!LOL
I bought my first 8' bed in 2003 and said then I wouldn't go back to a short bed. The extra 1.5 feet do not bother me at all driving or parking but sure does make a big difference having my tool box mounted and still having a full bed. Especially when loaded to go camping.
