Last year I bought a truck with an 8ft bed. Its very unusual to see a single cab long bed truck that's as new as mine (2012) without it being someone's fleet truck, in fact, it's the only one I've seen for sale locally. The next cheapest truck was twice the price, had twice the miles, but it also had a 4 door cab and a little 5 foot bed. It's apparently what most people want.

I don't get short bed trucks at all. If you can't lay down in it it's not a bed. You're better off with a station wagon in 95% of situations.

Or a minivan. You can load a lot into a Dodge caravan that has the seats removed or folded up.
