Bedlam
May 13, 2014Moderator
I like my extended cab short bed, but my next truck will have a long bed so I have greater TC choices and a larger fuel tank. The truck will be a Class 4 or 5 and used strictly for recreation. Size will be less of an issue, but I still want the shortest chassis with an extended or crew cab in front of that long bed.
When we went from towing a toy hauler to hauling a TC, I was not ready to replace my truck. 2015 or 2016 models will be of interest to me if the manufacturers can keep reliability and ownership cost controlled. The short bed variation of my Arctic Fox 811 will fit on a 8' flat bed even with the storage in the rear skirts, but I may need to clearance the genset exhaust or reroute it.
