    looks like the smaller bed? If so more trips since she'll hold less.

    That’s what they make trailers for! Usually crew cabs have shorter beds, or they’d be too long to easily park.

    Thats real nice Chris. Id be afraid to put wood in a PU that nice.
    You need a beater truck with an 8' bed.

    Nice ride buddy!! I’ve got a black 3/4 ton Ram too. It’s a beast! I also live on a dirt road. A little dust never hurt anyone.

    I have the same in 2014,,,silver but paint is just to stop the rust. You’ll like it.
    It takes awhile to get used to the stiffer ride but you will.
    Bed is for saws and gas. Trailers are for wood ;) :)
    Enjoy.
