Wow! I am a member of several forums, but NEVER have I posted a question, waited a few days, and come back to SIX PAGES of answers!!!
AWESOME!!!
I prefer a short bed, and currently drive a 4-door, not a megacab, dodge ram 1500. I will likely keep it, as it parks in regular parking spots. But we need to trade in the wife's convertible mustang, regardless of how fun it is to drive, for a tow vehicle. We won't be needing the bed space for "stuff", because we are downgrading our lives, and if it won't fit in the 5th wheel, we don't need it. The truck is just to get us to point B, and for daily driving afterwards.
So, it sounds like the longer beds allow better maneuverability, but in the long run, if we find a pull thru space, drop the trailer, and get a job, the short bed should be fine.
Thanks for all of your comments!!! :B
