The bed is noticeably shorter when your used to hauling snowmobiles and motorcycles. I knew the length when I bought it but its different when you actually put something in it. I had an 04 QC before and the snowmobile really showed the difference in bed length even though it doesn't sound like much. But I got an enclosed trailer and wouldn't give up my 09 CC Laramie for any other truck. There's always gonna be something slightly off when you have a truck this close to the perfect 1500.
