I Bought Too Much Truck

If you focus on the parking limitations you’ll be convinced you would have been happier with a short box. The long box has a bigger fuel tank and is less likely to have the back cab corner get crunched from hitting the fiver nose. I chose maneuverability over the bigger fuel tank and so I’ve been buying short box trucks for the last 20 years. Your might as well focus on the advantages of the long box and be happy ….. or sell it and buy a short box.

If parking is a huge issue, get a regular cab long bed 3/4 ton. As a bonus, it maximizes your payload capacity for towing.

Everything is a compromise.

Basically, the statement about "too much truck" is related to towing. If you need a vehicle to zip around tight urban roads, a Smart Car is much better...but the tow rating isn't so great.
