prddl, others have already mentioned some of the things that ( to us) with long beds benefit from. As mentioned, simply more room to haul stuff. I can pack enough fire wood around my hitch (front/back/sides and behind to supply us for a 2 week trip. That's having a 5-6 hour fire every nite. I can place our 42 gallon blue tank on the folded up bed cover when towing with no chance of it hitting the camper. Then simply unfold the cover to keep the wood dry. I guess what I am saying is that short beds defiantly cause clearance issues/ hitch issues etc. But not being able to haul as much or keep my bed covered ( with my cover) while on a trip are issues I do not have to deal with having a long bed.
