    My F-250 is right at 20’ long, with the 6½’ box. With an 8’ box it would be banging on 22 feet.

    Fortunately, it’s not about “need.” I wanted one of these behemoths since I first saw them back in the early 2000s. Now that I have one, the cost of diesel keeps it in the driveway, or I’d be taking it everywhere.

    BTW, it gets used. I’ve hauled 3,000 pounds of tile in the bed, and still has 250 pounds of payload to spare. On another trip, 1,500 pounds of dog food. A freezer. A full-sized couch and loveseat. Bookshelves. A bed. A king-sized mattress. A 6’x6’ desk. 2 powered recliners. If we’d had ramps, a Harley Road King. I almost had to haul a buddy’s 350 Chevy V8 and transmission, but the sale fell through at the last minute.

    I’d like to see your Honda Civic/Miata/Volvo do any of that.
