Del, this is a long bed site or else the long bedders are the most boisterous. :h
I been towing with a short bed for right at 20 years now with nary a problem.
I think that after reading all the long bed talk you will be a strong willed dude if you don't cave to peer pressure. :B
Haha, after reading this thread, you are right. I didn't realize this was such a point of contention. I'm guessing there is a very small percentage of people on here who ever even pull the hitch out of their bed, so all the extra length they brag on really means nothing. Slider hitches enable one to pull and do anything that a long bed can do, and if getting out to pull the handle is too much effort, it makes me wonder who has to come and unhitch for you, and set up your camp...
Anyhow, I imagine most spend more time driving without the rv attached, and a short box is tons better in that situation.
I don't need no stink'n long bed. :B
