Totally torn on short or long bed...

I think we need to chill out. No need for people to play these kind of games.

 

extra long bed FTW!!!

 

Whoever photoshopped that did a great job, photo looks original and unedited. Amazing!

 

I stole it from @NunyaBizness

 

Was jk, I literally laughed out loud when I saw that picture lol

 

me too. I don't want the credit for bad photoshoping

 

Have long since lost the pics to a hard drive gone bad, but here's one with 5 bulls in the back of a LB Gen1 (not mine). At least 3 of those were not broke down before being put in the truck.






Elk are big, but not so hard to fit a good bull into a 5' bed with the tailgate down.

 

short bed owner and i haul my motorcycles a lot or have a friend with me too. so 2 bikes in the bed mean tailgate would have to be down either way. i also have a trailer i use occasionally and while it is easy to load sometimes its nicer just not having to tow it around and find parking.

i vote short bed because theres nothing that has stopped me and said i wish i had an extra foot of space.

 

X2

 

I'll take that with a manual

 

I say get what ever you think looks best.

I have to put my tailgate down even with a long bed.

But I like having the long bed to fit longer things in with the tailgate up. So far it's been just my skis but it was nice not to tie them down .

 

I’d go short bed. It’s going to be easier to park, maneuver etc in the city. If you need the extra space, a trailer is the best option - either pick one up or rent one when you need it. There really isn’t anything that’s going to fit in a 6 foot bed, that you can’t also haul in a 5 foot with the tailgate down.

Both pro and OR are great, just depends on what you want.

 

Always a 2nd gen short bed

 

I had the same debate. I went with the PRO because I wanted the color. Yes I admit I paid MSRP for a special color. If the PRO came with a LB it wouldn’t have been a debate. I haven’t had a truck since I sold my 99 F150 a few years back.. I think that had a 6’ bed and it was never big enough most of the time. Seems to me I usually needed a trailer anyways. Just my thoughts haha

 

This is a bad ass picture

 

Often wonder how bad of a driver one has to be to maneuver a truck with one foot longer wheel base in a city. UGparking is a joke anyways, and the trucks fit people just need to take their time and not be in a rush. For work I regularly drive f350’s with a proper long box 8’ and those are a pain, yet we manage to park them pretty much everywhere we go, cities, malls, star bucks drive thru, ug parking. It is about skill with driving. And with pickups your a moron if you drive into a parking spot your just asking to get hit or hit someone backing out, seems to be a lost skill with a lot of drivers.

 

I drove a van for HVAC service for almost 20 years til I moved into the office. I think it should be a drivers test requirement to parallel park a full size van with no back or side windows lol! I also made do with AM/FM radio vinyl floors and manual windows. Come to think of it I walked uphill both ways to school.

 

Agreed, I know so many people whom have never parallel parked even on their drivers test. We all hate it but sometimes it is unavoidable and needs to be done.

 

LOL. Did that seem intense? I thought it was just good advice
