Best Answer: The short bed is by far the most popular type of pickup truck bed. Compact truck short beds are generally 6 ft (1.8 m) long and full-size beds are generally 6.5 ft (2.0 m) long. These beds offer significant load-hauling versatility, but are not long enough to be difficult to drive or park.
As the name suggests, this is the most popular bed for these trucks. They usually have a length of 5 ft (1.5 m). By comparison the full size is 6.5 ft (2.0 m) or 8 ft (2.4 m). Long beds are of course more versatile. That is one reason why the standard long is very popular.
