Life's full of compromises. I don't make my living with my truck, I use it to haul a dead deer a couple times a year, to throw the two dog box in the back and a couple coolers for some pheasant hunting, to haul an appliance or lawnmower or other random large item that would never fit in a car. I could never get by without a truck, but like Cole said above, need the room up front as well. For me its either an extended cab or crew cab with the 6'6" bed. If my truck wasn't having to serve double duty, it would be a single cab and 8' bed, or actually, would be a flatbed with under bed storage for chains, toolboxes, etc. After farming when I was in high school and college with flatbed trucks, I don't think I could do it with a regular truckbed.
