Yeah I really don't get it.
I drive an old pickup truck with a standard sized bed. Every time I've needed the bed of the truck, I've needed it to be as big as it is. If it was as short as modern truck beds I'd be making more trips or hiring a U-Haul or something.
I get a normal, functional bed AND it's still a normally sized vehicle that's easy to drive and park. When this vehicle eats shit, whoever makes a normal sized pickup is getting my money.
It's because they're emotional support vehicles for suburban dudes who have an incredibly fragile ego. What they need is a van or a "sensible" SUV or even just y'know a fuckin car but these men are too sensitive and scared to drive one of those so they buy a truck as a family car instead.
It's kind of pathetic honestly.
I'd be pissed if I bought a pickup that can't fit a damn couch
So... either you'll be buying used or not a truck.
Chevy still makes a regular cab, 8' bed version of the Silverado in the entry-level "WT" (work truck) trim, which at least theoretically is available to non-fleet buyers. Good luck finding one though.
I thought the bed size was chosen as standard so it would fit a standard 4x8 sheet of plywood. What's the point of it can't fit that?
