Still holds a pile of coons!

I've seen more than a few 6 pack's with a 4' bed, why bother, just as well get an SUV. I gotta have a log bed, and won't ever have another truck without the 3rd door, extended cab.

They certainly do still make them. Chevy at least calls them "work trucks". I refuse to get anything shorter than 8' because I have room for my toolbox in the winter

i had to look all over to find an 8' box 4x4. you just don't see them anymore. my guess is most people use their trucks as cars instead of work vehicles.

I use my van as a tool box for my drywall gear. There is lots of room in it. If it was 4 wheel drive I would trap beaver in it as I can get a 10' drowner rod to fit nicely.

An 8 foot bed just allows the contents to slide further when ya hit the brakes.

If ya actually haul stuff things don't have anywhere to go :p

In 20 years, I’ve yet to find something I need to haul that would fit in an 8’ bed but won’t fit in my 6’ bed.

I have been in the wrong line of work for more than 20 years then

For a work truck they make complete sense. But for a guy that uses it for farm work and as a daily driver, I’ve never seen the need. I’m pretty sure I’m not in the minority, thats why they aren’t as common as 6’ beds.

I like the 8' bed, and a few of us got to work, to carry everyone else.

if they made a 10' bed i'd jump right on it!

You just have to go your 1 1/2 ton or bigger trucks, in a flat bed, and with a diesel, lol., and in a duly. I'd like one too.

I bought my first new truck in 1970, Chevy 2wd, 350 4bl, 3 on the tree, with an 8 ft bed. Every truck I have owned since has had an 8 ft bed except for one. My 2012 Ford F350 4x4 has an 8 ft bed & a standard cab. Anything less than an 8 ft bed isn't a truck, it is a grocery getter.
