Long or short bed?

[shotgunred10]

I'm in the market for a new TV and wondered if the short bed GMC will work without a slider hitch or should I get a long bed.We're not full-timers and just go on the weekends some, so I think I'm going with a 3/4 ton instead of the dually and I want four doors. Since I drive one 65+ feet long every day, it doesn't bother me, however, DW doesn't like to drive "a school bus" to the grocery store.
Thanks in advance,
