Real trucks have 8 foot boxes...

But something has happened to the market. I've been looking for standard cab (2-door) trucks around here. Almost no dealer orders them. On the RAM build & price, you can't even spec one at a higher trim level than Big Horn. Also, if you spec the 8 foot box, no RamBox for you. I guess I don't understand what's happened to the market for pickup trucks. Looking at them from a farm perspective, trading bed space for a back seat isn't what you want. Has the entire pickup market converted to contractors needing to haul work crews to the site? Or is it the new family sedan? Why does nearly every truck being sold these days have a back seat and a tiny bed?

I see many tradespeople with trucks full to the hilt with gear. Depends I guess on what your going to be using the box for. I see the Rambox as an awesome feature.
Personally, for me, if I couldn't get a full sheet of plywood in the box, there'd be no point for me to buy one. Because, really, that's the only need I'd require.

That's what the minivan is for! I put much muckier/dirtier stuff in the bed of my pickup, such as a load of manure. If it's something clean, I'd rather put it in the minivan.

I agree a "real truck" has an 8' box. i'll add also, a real truck has a bench in the front.

Agreed. I have no interest in bucket seats for a truck.
