    It’s partially the manufacturers’ fault. Good luck finding an 8’ bed without an extended cab.

    That’s their only option if they’re limited to the footprint of a smaller truck in their parking spot.

      I’m dying for a return to 80s style trucks but with hybrid/electric engines

      Please just let me have a functional, strong truck that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to drive

      8ft bed can be optioned on basically every truck. People buying trucks just prefer the crew cab because the vast majority of them are never hauling shit

      You know you can order vehicles from the manufacturer ahead of when you need it, right? Yes, there are stupid laws/rules in place that require a dealership to be part of the process, but you can generally pick what you want in a vehicle.
