To me a shortbed on a crew or super cab just isn`t as cool. Heck to me its just cool to have a crewcab long bed even though its sometimes a pita to park at wollyworld. Besides who want to park near the door at walmart next to the suv with a 6 year old in it just waiting to put a big ol dent in the side of your truck.
Also when hauling stuff though yes you can "make it work" in a short bed usually it just fits in a longbed.

That being said - different opinions/tastes are what makes the world go round and keep us all from driving the same exact truck. You can keep your longbeds and I'll stick to my short beds.

I agree Chase, I've only owned 1 longbed pickup in my entire life (except for a few parts trucks)........................... a '60 GMC that was my 2nd vehicle and that was in around '73 or 74.............Every one since then that I drove was a shorty....................I LOVE MY SHORTBEDS!!!!!!!!!!!

Visually IMO, shortbeds are better proportioned... I wanted a SB Bump but I couldn't pass up a $650 deal with 70K original miles... still on the table is to take a plasma and welder to it to make my own SB.

If that's "making use of it" what I do with them must be considered "overloading" for sure...
Heck I can fit enough in a tacoma bed to not need a full sized longbed...

Lol I bet. That was just a track rental day with my truck and I picked up a trans and converter from a guy at the track. Went 10.75 124 and drove 70 miles home all on pump gas.
