I love mine. Hate is a very strong word!
I daily drive it. I go through drive thru. I parallel park in town. I drive through the forest. Haul a camper. Haul wood. Haul too much stuff.

A PowerWagon is my dream truck, but love the LongBed too much to get one.20200418_140754_HDR.jpg20200601_184632_HDR.jpgdownload.jpeg20210508_171640_HDR.jpg20210508_112533.jpg20220528_112548.jpgScreenshot_20221220-121222~2.pngScreenshot_20221017-070659~2.png

If I could get a 10' bed I would, like a 4500 crew cab with a 10' bed would be great. By the time I add the tool/fuel box I already lost 2'. Then add the 5th wheel hitch bed space gets eaten up quick.
It would be nice to stack firewood in front of the hitch to free up space across the tailgate.
Now thinking about it, my tool/fuel box would not even fit in a little bed truck. It would be on top of the wheel wells. 6' bed could never work for me.

I drove a long bed extra cab for 20 years. It did everything well except for parking in tight spaces.

Ive got no input im just didnt know you could get a long bed with a crew cab. That is one long truck lol.
Ive got a Quad Cab with a 6'4" bed. I wouldnt get a Crew Cab with the shorter bed. IMO it renders it pretty useless and dont like the real short beds.

Can you get a Crew Cab with a 6'4" bed? Must be a special order as ive never seen one. Then again, the white truck longbed pic above ive never seen one of those either and it exists.

No regrets at all for my long bed.
Get the truck that fits your mission.

Yes. You can get a crew cab with 6'4" bed. Not a special order. There are plenty of them out there...but they go fast sometimes

I have my CDL and driven tractor trailers. I can handle a truck. U-turns are unnecessary, I call it reroute.
Do you think 2 more feet will make difference for me deciding a U-turn. Lol
