So all of you 1500 haters
We were driving up 321 earlier running 70 MPH. A 3500 with what looked like a 28' toy hauler passed us. We watched it as it SWAYED, wiggled, wondered around on the road, and nearly went in the ditch. ...

Not sure how folks deal with them beds shorter than 8'!
We use a utility trailer for the rare occasion we need to haul something longer than 6 ft. Only happens maybe once or twice a year for some of us!
That would get really expensive for me. A couple of trips on a ferry a week....lets see, first 22' is $18, next 8' to 30 is $36, 31-40 is about $54.......19' of truck, plus 12' of trailer, $54 on way, $108 round trip......OUCH! maybe even DOUBLE OUCH! then add in that I am over 7'6", another 16 or so for over height! Expensive trip! I'll take the std 8' bed over a 6' short bed thank you very much.......
Them short beds must be for non contractor types...........

Yep. I work in an office! The only thing that regularly goes in the back of my truck is my mountain bike slung over the tailgate. Other than that, the occasional bag of fertilizer, groceries from a Costco trip, backpacks for the scout troop, or an armful of firewood for a camping trip. So I never even use the full 5.5' of bed that I have.
Bigger loads like mulch or gravel or our year's worth of firewood go in the 6 x 12 utility trailer that I pull out a few times a year.
