I'm looking to purchase a truck that will eventually be needed to pull a 5'er and would prefer to get a standard length bed (6'4") for reasons I won't go into here, but wanted the forum's opinion abou...

First twuck I bought had a std 8' bed. Every one since is a std 8' bed. It would be WONDERFULL to have a pickup with a LONG bed....10' or so. One can then put a cross bed tool box, and still have room for a 4x8' sheet of plywood IN the bed, along with a trailer hooked up.......To do that without a flat bed would be nice!
Oh, anything less than 8' is a short bed! I still remember back to 81 a year out of HS and buying my first twuck. Even had a whopping 105hp 292 I6 in it! now if it does not have 300-400+ ponies, people think it is a weak motor!

Did you really say "twuck" ? Twice? Hahahaha
Ram actually did a concept lonh bed truck a few years ago. Never seen it in production.
I think the mfgs would sell a schitt ton of 10' bed trucks for commercial use.
I run out of bed space pretty quick in my work trucks. Be nice to have a slip tank, big tool box AND some bed space leftover.
Otherwise 3 pages of what's the diff between a short and long bed truck. This place never ceases to amaze...
I know this int the typical WT configuration but a 10 ft bed on a mega cab dodge would almost require the rear wheel steering like a ladder truck. hehe
