    I’d personally hate to use one of these for any of those jobs, I’d need a ladder to get the fucking ladder out of the bed. Ignore me, I’m just getting old and confused as to why the truck keeps getting bigger, but the bed keeps getting smaller. Even a shitbox from 1995 has a full 8 foot bed but for some damn reason, now they are almost impossible to find.

      I like that GM brought back the Avalanche’s midgate for their electric Silverado, but I wish that was available on more trucks. Default configuration is a short-bed family hauler, but you drop the midgate and it becomes a 2-seater with an 8’ bed.

      Best truck I ever worked out of was a long box regular cab s10 lol. Drop the tail gate down and u only have to lift crap somewhere between your knees and hips to load it, these big short bed trucks I have to hoist stuff up about chest high to load it then I’m out of room in no time because the beds like 4 feet long LOL. Usually those big trucks are for towing stuff and putting a couple pack outs in the trunk (bed would be too generous). Quite frankly if u don’t need a goose neck a 2500 van is probably the ticket, can tow about the same as a 2500 truck but u have a useful covered cargo area that’s easy to load and more secure.
