    What percentage of F150s have the maximum bed size for that vehicle which is 8 ft?

    How much drywall do you think has been moved with a pickup with a box shorter than 8 ft?

    What percentage of pickup trucks do you see without a single paint scuff in the box?

    It’s not the size of a truck that makes it a toy.

      No clue.

      Sheets fit in the bed of a 6.75’ bed with the tailgate down. I prefer the old short beds for city work because they are far easier to park.

        I have a Maverick. Sheet goods fit perfectly well in the short bed with the tailgate in the halfway down position. The guys at the lumberyard are always skeptical when I pull up and then really impressed when I drive off with a load of drywall in my “toy truck”.
