Long bed vs Short Bed - advantages and disadvantages

Crew Cab truck with long bed vs short bed. Advantages and disadvantages of each. I've owned, parked, and towed with each setup, in a 1-ton F350 Super Duty Ford truck. Previously with our 2005 SuperDuty F350 diesel, and now with our 2020 Super Duty F350 Godzilla 7.3 gas truck. In the video, I review 3 advantages, and 3 disadvantages of having the long bed in an already long crew cab pickup over 20-feet in length. The difference in wheelbase and overall length between the short bed setup and the long bed is only 16.2 inches. But it feels like more.
