Coming from my 1997 F-350 Crew Cab with an 8' box my 2012 F-150 CC with only a 6.5' bed feels nice and easy to maneuver in parking lots! Long is relative and is definitely just what you're used to...
I have the 5.5' bed on my SCrew. I prefer the look of the shorter box over the 6.5'; I think that extra foot makes the truck look too long. I don't haul all of the time, so the shorter bed hasn't been too much of an issue for everything that I've carried to date. Oh, and you can put the tail gate down and carry those 4'x8' sheets of plywood/dry wall with a 5.5' bed just fine, too.
I'm with you Brad, but thats why they make both- to each their own.
