I really wish I could get a 10' bed on a truck but they don't make one unless you get a cab & chassis with a custom bed. A truck is for hauling (and towing) things so a bigger bed makes more sense to me. More firewood, tools, building materials, mulch, etc. Longer wheel base rides better. You will never need a slider hitch with a long bed.
Take that truck bed, add FW hitch, grill, bikes, firewood, generator, tool box, cooler, lawn chairs, golf clubs, etc. How much room do you have now.
Yes, my garage happens to be 40 feet deep. I guess I get the "must fit in the garage thing."
Dodge did a concept hauler a few years ago with a looong bed. Never went to market.
I've been in construction all my adult life from residential to 9 figure commercial and civil projects and I believe for the work truck crowd, a 9-10' bed pickup would sell a lot of trucks. Idk why one of the big 3 hasn't done it.
Even a 8' bed , put a slip tank and big tool box in it and it doesn't leave a lot of bed left.
I could envision thousands of these trucks making the grind every morning loaded with whatever the day needed. Construction and landscaping mostly.
