    It's ok as a daily driver in Wyoming or Montana. Nowhere else populated though

    Lake Michigan apparently went up 10" from April rains this year. That's great news.

    Well, sounds like you agree with the conclusion anyway. :handshake:

    I don't mind respectfully disagreeing, but I tried my best not to present preferences as facts. The TL;DR version: a long bed can carry more than a short bed, unless the load would max out on weight before filling a short bed. That's just a fact, there's no room for debate. But trucks come in so many configurations because not everyone has the same priorities.
    But sometimes certain ones are unpopular enough that they're discontinued, and it sucks for the few who do still want them, but I get why it's hard to mass produce for every tiny niche.

    My Ram has a 6'4" bed, and although it cost a little in aerodynamics, these heavy duty wooden sides and crossbars have increased the functionality of the truck tenfold. Double the volume for loose stuff like trash bags or demo debris and brush, a much more stable angle for overhanging 10' and 12' lengths, and I can balance 16' lumber with 5' over the roof and only 5' of rear overhang, and literally screw the boards to the crossbars. Not to mention I can screw scrap boards, pieces of plywood, or strap tie downs to the wooden structure anywhere I need to secure any given load. And I can still carry a fridge upright, unlike a cap.

    According to our local news, its 800 billion gallons per inch between lake Michigan / Huron. The 10" rise is 8 trillion gallons.

    City’s is relative, as our biggest and surrounding city’s suburbs is 120,000. It literally is at least a 6 point turn to go through bank drive thru, he parks and goes in

    That would make driving though optional regardless
