Worth repeating - if you don't get at least a 6' bed, your truck is all but worthless.

TGR Truck threads are the best. A summary:
OP - "I WANT a truck! Tell me why I NEED a truck!"
Response 1 - "Welcome to TEAM TRUCK! Get any kind of TRUCK. Big truck, small truck, I like TRUCK and you will like TRUCK too!"
Response 2- "You don't NEED a truck, sir. Here is a curated list of activities that require a truck. You don't qualify for team NEEDS a TRUCK."
OP - "Yeah good info and all but I WANT a truck!"
FFS aside from this thread's OP, who is a statistical anomaly, truck wanters will buy the damn thing every time regardless of any rational argument against it. If ya want one, great buy it. You probably don't need it, which is fine because probably 85% of other truck owners don't need theirs either.

Truck Recommendations
Plywood on lumber rack. Elk wherever. Know 2 elk hunters that live near me. They’ve each hunter for a couple of decades. One used to use his Honda Accord and now uses a crosstrek. The other uses a Prius. Both are consistently successful. The one with w Prius spends more time driving the 80 corridor between house and trailhead than he spends walking, hunting, dressing, and loading the car.
Spent a little time in rural NZ and in the Scottish highlands around 2003/4. Lots of cruiser trucks and duel cab short bed hilux/nissans/Mitsubishi used for farming/ranching.

I’ve gotten lots of use out of 5’ short bed Tacomas and Ford Rangers. Maybe not practical for many but a very capable platform for moving four people, a bunch of awkward and often dirty/muddy heavy gear and equipment to places a full-size truck would have issues going due to ‘road’ width and other factors.

Try fitting 184+ cm Skis in a 5 ft bed. Es dificil.
When I was shopping for my rig I brought my192 lotus into the dealer to make sure the bed size passed muster. If you're buying a beast of burden, it better damn well comfortably carry your burden.

Ranger fit 191's diagonaly no probelm, I know I've had 223's in there but i may have had to leave a bit out side the box, I think the Tacoma is bigger certainly fits the Bike easier

Just got one of the new Ford Rangers with the 4 cylinder turbo for a work vehicle. Supposed to be super fuel efficient, cuts off automagically at stop lights, restarts when you lift off the brake pedal. So far at 850 miles in, I'm averaging 16.8 mpg, and I drive like grandpa 85% of the time. So yea, I think I'm in the why not get a full size camp.

I see a full-size truck in our future. I’ve never wanted one until about the last 18 months. Probably Ford for the more efficient engine, and definitely a quad cab. Having a hard time accepting a 21-foot vehicle as a daily driver, but the 5.5-foot bed just seems too small.
