We traded in our 3/4 ton short bed for a 1 ton dually long bed. I have towed and worked out of both. It is as they say a personal choice but for me it is hands down the long bed and for towing the dually. I had a couple incidents with the short bed that put a dent in either side of the cab and one that cost me a new rear window. No such problems with the long bed and there is room in front of the hitch for my future welder/generator as well. Parking? I deal with it. When you get right down too it there isn't that much difference parking a short bed over a long bed. The dually fenders do make it a little tougher though but I wouldn't even think of going srw with a 42' camper!
