Why anyone would by a truck with less than an 8' bed amazes me. I mean, what's the purpose? Especially if it's going to be an extended cab. So you can fit more people so what, now you can't park most places AND can't fit lumber in the back. I loved this one I borrowed for the day though. So perfect for what I needed. And what I needed was to load up with enough wood to build a small house... A small medieval house... to cage people in ;)
