I have owned trucks for over 40 years and always had long boxes until my current 2011. Lets compare long box to short.. both can carry an extension ladder on a rack, 4X8 sheets, 2x4x8, x10 and x12 dimensional lumber, ok the long box can carry 16ft at a push. neither can carry 20ft rebar or flat steel and neither can carry 24 ft steel tubing. So just how many 16 ft dimensional lumber do most of us carry and if you are already carrying the longer steel you have a trailer for that. The short box is so much easier to get around in especially if it's a crew cab.
Hey the stupid little "Smart Car" is easier to get around in also but where do you draw the line?
