Stick that 20 ft gooseneck on a short bed and you can almost turn it it around on a 2 lane road.Only draw back is that gooseneck will come around mighty quick and sure ding the truck cab if you are not careful

Ditto.

Had an extended cab w 8’ bed. I think wheel base was close to current super duty 4 door w short bed.

I would hate to be turning around even my GN (29’?) on a long bed.
