Im working on buying a 94-02 2500 with a cummins ext cab im not sure on what type of bed size to get i would just like to here pros and cons from people who own one or the other or both.

thanks

 

Long beds are better for towing for two reasons - longer wheelbase helps stability and longer bed allows for a 5th/gooseneck to be positioned directly over the axle while maintaining enough room between the cab and trailer during tight turns.

Short beds are better around town, especially in parking lots.

 

Long bed is best because you can throw more junk in it.

 

Im living in a city now and im kinda leaning for long bed because i can get more use out of it

 

I just bought my 01 eclb its the first long bed ive ever owned and to me it seems like the ride is better. The turning radius is tight enough that it doesnt take long getting used to manuvering in and around the city.

 

thanks guys for the help

 

I have an 8ft bed on the 3500 and it fits a 6" stretched Hayabusa with no problem.
