Ram 2500 6.4 4x4 : Long or Standard Bed?

I went to a long bed in 2003 and have said repeatedly "I'll never own another Short bed (6'). Hauling a fiver and needing a toolbox is a no go on a short bed. The crew cab long beds are a bit much to park though. I have drive an extended cab long bed 4x4 for the last 9 years and even it is a little difficult to get into parking lot spaces. Just park out on the ends and use it for exercise. Keep a rain jacket in the truck!
