Those stupid little short beds can't haul large loads either. And not everyone wants the length of a crew cab plus a long bed.

There's just the two of us now and the back seat would just be a waste of space, compared to putting that into the bed where it would be useful to carry an 8' camper. There's got to be a lot of couples that want to start travelling again.

Actually I think the crew cabs and short beds are a great idea and I don't know why they didn't think of making them 40-50 years ago. But not for everyone. Why does it all have to go the other way?
