Going full time Long bed for capacity, the issues with long bed crew cabs are 90% perception, you learn to deal with with the size.
Long bed bigger fuel Tank, smoother ride more stable on the road.
Still personal choice.
One other thing, if you get a short bed, you need a slider hitch, or a very rounded noise.
One cost $$$, the other cost you closet space. We have a 5er with a full width hanging closet, and a full width flat floor.
Personally I would never buy a short bed, 26 gal tank, not 35 gal of a long bed 100 extra miles! After market tanks cost $1,000++.
Member just caught his cab, doing a forward tight turn with a SB, $2,500+ for repairs.
