I have a long bed, and I have turned 90 degrees one time - in a parking lot when it was all new and I wanted to be sure it was possible. Never needed to in real life.

Still, glad to have a long bed. If you have a cross-bed tool box, or some kind of rolling bed cover, there isn't much space left in a short bed truck, especially since all your gear needs to sit below the bed rails while towing. Pretty sure my next truck will also be a long bed.

I owned "ONE" shorty it was a 77 GMC and a great truck. Hated the SB and never owned another.
