Keep in mind the difference between a long and short bed is about 15”. That’s it. Does it improve the ride- I’m sure but it’s splitting hairs at that point. Is it hard to park, yep but you get more bed space. Bigger turn radius with a 5th wheel- sure. Resale would be the one question the OP might consider. Depends on location. Some areas you can’t hardly give away a LWB. Other areas it’s the opposite.
14 gallons of extra fuel capacity is nice to have in the CCLB.
Love my longbox. The extra distance to empty is awesome towing. Came from an f-150 with a 5.5’ box and can’t see myself ever going back. The extra space for hauling stuff while camping is crazy. I see short box half tons and can’t believe how small they are. Also, when going ice fishing, it’s allowed me to get a bigger shack. For a 350, I can’t believe how well it rides. Payload of 4400# as well. Really loving this truck. Longbox all day.
Have you ever measured the open doors of a modern super duty and compared them to the wingspan of other vehicles? Everyone might as well take two spots to make it easier on everyone...
IF there were a vehicle on both sides of the truck when I came out of the store that day, and they didn't follow standard urinal protocol by leaving an empty spot on both sides of THEIR vehicle, then I would have wondered why they didn't park in one of the other 20 empty spots that day...
I believe I said "when I had the camper on", a slide-in camper... and... I also said "when I parked in between those two cars"... So... In my mind that does make a bit of a "difference" as to the outcome of what people may think of the SOB parking there...
LOL when I park my 450 at work, it sticks out in front of all the rest of the cars up to the middle of the front doors. Makes the F-150's and Rams look puny. Funny thing though, there is still room on either side to fully open the doors of the cars on either side. At least at work. In Rockford, each rear tires is ON the lines. When I can, there is a spot next to the lane for one car, I can park there so that my back end isn't sticking way out and not take up two spaces. If I back into a sidewalk side slot, the truck doesn't stick out nearly as much as the rest, and is only out about a foot or two.
Funny though, LB vs SB is sort of like RWD vs 4WD. Some like it, some don't, me, don't care. A RWD DRW would be a blast in the snow, except of course when traffic is around.
