Yeah, let’s compare different types of truck so we can complain about them
Always the same shit with you guys
A current gen regular cab long box F150 (you know, the same thing as the first one in the picture) measures 228" so 42% bed.
A 1995 F150 regular cab long box was 213" long, so 45% bed.
1983? 208" long.
1975 (first generation)? 205", 47% bed
And you know what, just for the heck of it, the 60s F100 was 202" long, that’s 47.5% bed! The only way you got it to 50% bed was without a rear bumper and that was 50% on the dot, I don’t know where they got their first truck but as far as I can find it’s never existed!
Inline 6 were the smaller engine back in the day for trucks, no way they could make the hood super short.
Trucks, especially full sized ones haven’t changed in size that much, they’re mostly taller so it makes them seem much bigger than they were, the rest is mostly so they’re actually safer than the thin boxes of the past.
