Well I think some of the guys here are getting me wrong. If I didn't think a short bed was a good truck, then I wouldn't have one. But as you can see, I have somewhat of a bias towards longbeds[8D] Personally, I think a single cab long bed is the ultimate compromise as I said before. It can still look badass, haul ***, tow, and fit much more. BUT, I could not bare the sacrifice of not being able to carry people around. If I want to have a silly truck, the LEAST it can do, is carry people around, which it can. I'm fine with a 6 ft. bed, but it sure is annoying when your family thinks your truck is the fairytale truck. They don't give it any respect even though it could probably outpower any of the trucks, even the 460. The lift and the tires somewhat impare its ability to claim toughness, but I still love the truck....so dont be getting all offended guys, its not like I dont own one[8D]

I don't see how you can be bias'd towards longbeds just because of table carrying ability. Drop your tailgate and strap the the tables in lol. Don't see a problem. Invest in a set of straps, and put that new bedliner to use. If your family wants to rag on you.. rag back. My father used to find anything he can to rag on me (heck, he calls me up and still does). So I take the opportunity to throw things such as.... "bet you wish your vette sounded as good as my truck". or"hows thatfurd explorer v6 treating ya?" I'm sure they are joking with you, but dont be a puss and take it. Dish it back. Finda disadvantage to your bro's truck, and throw that up in front of your parents. Maybe that will shift the burden a bit.Ask your bro how his small tires are doing? etc. little things. haha, think about your "street racing". Carrying around1.5-2ft of extra bed is just dead weight. Think thats gonna help ya?

Exactly. Neon you're family are like the only people in the world who think small tires are cool and big one aren't. You have to realize that your 35" mudders are way way cooler than your dads 235/65/18s or whatever the hell is on his. That's like Rick Morranis making fun if The Fonz.

Well that has to be the stupidest thing I heard. His truck is just as long as his brothers truck. If not longer...So length wise there = in "dead weight", and the last I knew a 31 inch tires was a big tire. I think its funny these goober guys like most of you are with your 35 inch D rated tires think they are all big and cool when if you tried to load or tow with them their wondering and wobbling all over the road. His 31 inch E rated tires can are way better of a tire than your mud tires 01dodgram360. Grow up you pansy because its stupid threads like this that express your need to get laid, because you take truck disses like their personal. BTW I like the F350 better than your dodge, its just way meaner and touger than your truck on stilts.

Size doesn't matter it is the thrusting command that does....wow that sound similar to something else in life!

Can I make a comment? Not ragging but why does it seem everytime "01DodgeRam360" makes a post it becomes a multiple page book? lol

My favorite thing to say someone ragging on my truck: "Care to see if you can keep up going through the woods with me?" and then just take care of business.

LOL Dodgefreak sounds a little bit like a troll (aka my brother) haha.

I'm not really sure why my threads always go on long, I guess they are just fun topics to toss around. I love my truck, but really I hardly think about throwing it through the woods. I mean, I'll go through the woods if I have to, but I wouldn't want **** it up if I didn't have to. I think my truck is just fine, but I thought I'd throw it out there what you guys thought about it. I mean 6ft. isn't really a true shortbed to begin with. It's the 4ft. beds that are dyke. If I didn't love my truck, I'd have gotten rid of it when the transmission snapped on me[8D]

LMAO... How is sayingif he had his truck in an 8ft bed version and callingthe differencedead weight, the stupidest thing you heard?While 01dodgeram360's tires may not be load range E, just for the record Mr. Smarty Pants... They do make 35's in an E Load range. (http://www.1010tires.com/tire.asp?ti...en+Country+M/T) So... you can take that theory as well and put that somewhere (I'll let you decide) when compairing "goober guys with 35's" If you need clarification on anything else, feel free to pm me!
