Pickup trucks

I have 3 trucks. An 89 regular cab short bed, an 03 crew cab short bed and a 10 Cummins crew cab short bed. Maybe it' cause I always have a trailer, but I find that I have never needed an 8 foot bed. The second 2 are daily driven and used more like a car than a truck but I have never seen a car as versatile as my trucks for daily driver duty. They haul sleds, ATVs and my Duster if needed. They take me camping and everything. I think it' the evolution of what most trucks are used for these days.

I kind of agree with this there more what I like to call Urban trucks for the modern consumer. And in the days gone by they had to carry a lot of eight foot loads for construction standards.
By all means it's hard for one truck to fit every man's needs. My needs call for a long bed 4 wheel drive and an extra amount of cab. While another man's needs may differ.
