More Truck talk, long vs. short bed
All this diesel talk has me ready to pull the trigger on another truck. My last one was a single cab long bed. I had a strange cab extension thing taking up some of the bed, but still had ~1' free below the thing. I use the truck to tow the car and make HD runs on the weekend. A couple times a year I'll get a load of firewood then it's just regular stuff. Mulch, shrubs, lumber....
My next truck will be an extended cab, no question. I assumed I would get a long bed, extended cab until I recently drove one. The extra ~18" in wheelbase makes it a bit of a pig, especially in parking lots.
Do I just man up and get used to it, or is a 6' bed enough? The extra 2' sure adds a lot of capacity, although I only need it once in a while. I guess it's a personal choice, just curious what guys w/ a 6' bed think.
Towing the 911 I assume it's the same, maybe the long wheelbase adds some stability but I doubt it's a big deal. Am I wrong?
Thanks
