Thanks to some awesome folks on this site that are helping me think through a truck purchase, I'm looking closer at a 2019 Tradesman 2500 LB.
I'm a 9-5er who would use the truck for pulling a travel trailer and hauling mountain bikes (I keep them locked in the bed with a shell when I'm at work), and the occasional costco run. In other words, a long bed is not a must for me.
I just sold a 3/4 ton chevy with a short box. The bed size was fine, but when I had bikes in it, couldn't really put much else. I had a long box Dodge many years ago, but I was in Alaska, so I wasn't concerned about maneuverability and parking. I'd just drive the truck to the mountains, then back to the house.
So, how is it driving a long bed truck around towns these days? Is the loss of maneuverability a big thing or does a guy just need to be pickier about what parking lots to drive into?
Any feedback is appreciated.
