It's tough finding a low mileage short bed with a 6 speed, but I have several long bed QCs I am looking at. I really don't need the extra bed length, but I am starting to think I could live with it.

Thanks,
Eric

 

Rides better and, IMO, looks better.
I much prefer my long bed.

I have a short one and wish I had a long one
Seriously , if you put a tool box in a short bed you have like 4 feet to work with, which isn't much.
The extra two feet would come in handy.

 

Good stuff keep em coming.

 

Is parking horrible or can it be lived with in a suburban environment?

 

My 03 is a SB and I wished it was a long bed, but that didn't come true so I bought my 98 LB and am very happy now.

 

Love my long bed, have a tool box and had a bike in the back and still had room. Lots of space and looks better IMO.

 

I love the long bed....so much room to haul just about anything

 

I could never understand the utility of a short bed.

Why would anybody want one, seriously... I'm curious?

 

I definitely wouldn't have one with a short bed. I live and work in the suburbs.

 

100% on the same page. Almost defeats the purpose. I love longbox and will always get trucks with longboxes. Everytime I see someone with a Tundra megacab or whatever and 4x8 plywood or 2x4x8's that hang almost halfway out I laugh to myself.

 

Mine is the first short box truck I have had in about 10 years. This is how I feel now. Never again will I get a short box.

 

My 04.5 is a short bed, got so sick of it, especially w/ a tool box!
So I bought me a 98 w/ a long bed and a MANUAL!!!

 

Love my long bed - fits a full sheet of plywood with the gate UP, motorcycles fit in it straight (instead of diagonally) with the gate up, and it holds a lot more firewood. Parking is no biggie, although finding a space to parallel park in that's long enough is sometimes a challenge. I wouldn't trade it for a short-bed!

 

NOPE. I love long beds. Several people above have already stated the positives.
