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.
On full-size trucks, a short bed is most often about 6.5 ft. Short beds are sufficient for the majority of pickup drivers, because they still pack the cargo room for most jobs without being too cumbersome for the average driver to maneuver in everyday situations.
