I followed a "truck" (an F150 club cab) that had a 10' Kayak in the ass end that protruded SIX feet out of the tail gate . Sadly. I found out that "his" better half was "tailing" him in a early 2000 model year JEEP Grand Cherokee with I'm 99% sure had the same length of kayak in it's cargo hold that only stuck out 2 feet behind the bumper WHAT constitutes a PICK UP TRUCK in this day and age ??

so the bed length + tail gate was 4 ft ??? with 6 ft sticking out past that ??
shortest bed is 5.5 ft + 1.5 ft tail gate = 7 ft Minimum.

I'm thinking that if it was a short box, 5', and had the tailgate down, 2', it would only have been sticking out about, 3'. They should've bought a pool noodle and tied it down with the front on top of the cab, but then, that's just my logic!

What’s Ford got to do, or not do with this post? Evidently from your observation, the kayak was as to large for the truck. Be glad he had the tailgate up, with a red flag on the craft. Geeze,, some people sure get a kick out of ‘picking sh!t with the chickens’.

The shortest bed you can get on a F150 is 67 inches ( 5-1/2 ft) and that is available on a CREW CAB... 4 doors..... A lot of people need to haul 4-6 people as much as they need to haul something in the bed.... With the tail gate down you have over 7 ft of length.. I have hauled 20 sheets of plywood in a CREW CAB bed..... i think the payload is 16- 1800 pounds for that truck.
You can get a F250 regular cab with an 8 ft bed if you want more LOAD... But your not going to get 6 people inside...... Depends on what your doing.

As always............. you dont have a CLUE what your talking about...
According to data posted by JATO Dynamics, the 2020 model year — thus far — has seen the take rate of regular and extended cab trucks sink to new lows. In the U.S., crew cab pickups made up 83.1 percent of 2020MY pickups sold through May of this year. That’s up from 77.8 percent for the 2019 model year, and a significant jump from the 69 percent seen back in the hazy, long-forgotten year of 2016.

My truck does BOTH... Will haul 6 people AND will haul 20 sheets of plywood or 100 - 2 x 4......I have an extension that sticks into the 2 inch receiver hitch and has a cross bar 2 ft behind the tail gate ... thats 9 ft from the cab... I have hauled a couple dozen 12 ft 2 x 6 with that..
All depends on what you want... Also 4 x 4 is great for off road - around the farm - woods.

Im sure 85% of the people that BUY TRUCKS ( F150 CREW CABS) will agree with YOUR OPINION of what is a TRUCK..
Your OPINION is so valuable to everyone...
If you want a REAL TRUCK, why not buy a F450 with a 12 ft flat bed ?
My 400 HP " WORK TRUCK" will haul 6 people and 10K trailer and out run your old POS any day of the week !! .......... Your 5.4 V8 was known as the "LOW HP MOTOR".

I hauled 10 14' pieces of steel on the roof rack of my lumina APV. It's still a car. When hauling on roof rack make sure to strap over the steel and through the windows or you'll rip the rack right off. My pickup has a 6 1/2' bed it'll pull a lot more than my mini van. My K2500 HD suburban has a 12,600 lb tow rating and I can put 10' 2x4s in the back of my station wagon. Buy definition a P/U has to have a personal compartment and an open bed. So how is an Avalnche titled. My suburban is titled as a station wagon as a station wagon they have to meet passenger car standards and are heavier than a comparable P/U.

A "Pickup Truck" will include the Mahindra or Jap small utes that Construction sites and large industrial facilities use for materials moves for maintenance work. Jeep CJ3 or 4 or 6 with a half cab qualifies as did the old 1920s and 30s pickup trucks with 5.5' beds that farmers used for DECADES during and after the depression thru WWII.
I personally own a SD Ford F250 diesel extended cab with 8' box, while I am repairing the W900 KW. Have had all manner of Half, Heavy Half, Chev ElCamino, 3/4 and ton trucks to 2 1/2t trucks where this will be SECOND KW I have owned. ALL Can be related to 'Pickup Trucks but if want to get Absolute, there are DOT Vehicle Classification numbers.
https://www.thebalancesmb.com/commercial-motor-vehicle-classification-2221025" rel="nofollow - Commercial Truck Vehicle Classification Guide (thebalancesmb.com)
The vehicle manufacturer determines the GVWR by considering the combined weight of the strongest weight-bearing components, such as the axles; and the weaker components, such as the body, frame, suspension, and tires. This determines the vehicle's class, which determines the regulations that it needs to follow. In some cases, drivers may need to obtain a certain type of license before driving a vehicle. Light-Duty TrucksThe light-duty trucks category includes commercial truck classes 1, 2, and 3. - Class 1: This class of truck has a GVWR of 0–6,000 pounds or 0–2,722 kilograms.
- Class 2: This class of truck has a GVWR of 6,001–10,000 pounds or 2,722–4,536 kilograms.1

IMO, any "truck" bed less than 5' long is basically a rumble seat on a Model T . The need for an "extension" apparatus is a slap-in-the-face to a working guy that hauls anything of substantial LENGTH, I never said anything about "TOWING CAPACITY" !!

LIke JAY said, they sell them many places... I made mine several years ago. Bought ones weigh maybe 30#... mine weighs maybe 60 pounds.. 2 inch tube is 1/4 inch thick. Mine has a triangle brace above the box section, from the cross bar down to the hitch... Think of a boat trailer tongue. You can put 500- 800 pounds on the rear hitch from a trailer... this works the same way... as JAY said, the further back you get the load, or the more weight you put on the hitch, the more the rear end squats.. Keeping the 2 x 4s 10 ft long helps a bunch ( on a 5.5 ft bed).. the hitch bar is at 9 ft from the front of bed.. You can haul 12 ft, but keep the number of 2 x 4s down............. helps when hauling a canoe or LONG stuff.

Gee if size matters I hauled a small 20 ft auger in the bed of my 3500 crew cab with 8 ft bed, stuck it in one corner under the tool box, put the spare tire on it, left the tailgate down, and put ratchet straps out to the end of it. Hauled it 60 miles that way. In hindsight it would have been easier to have taken the 20 ft trailer.

If you want to define a pickup, alot has changed my grandfather had side board on the box and he would haul a cow or as many fat pigs as he could squeeze in, then he would clean it out and another day he would shovel it full of cob corn and go grind feed and bring bags of feed home from the mill. When I was a kid in the 70's hardly anyone in town had a pickup unless it was work related, now there is at least 1 in every driveway. People use them to pull boats, campers, atv/utvs on a trailer or snowmobiles in winter. You don't need an 8 ft bed but most like to have 4 doors. Even if you are hauling a antique tractor to a show. One time an 8 ft bed is necessary is if you want a 2 ft wide tool box and an L shaped fuel tank and gooseneck hitch.

Yeah... 
Several different takes on this, but I think this is my favorite: Expert, break it down into its root words. And "ex" is a has been, a "spurt" is a drip under pressure.

Tbone, i totally agree with you. the manufacturers are making what people want and people spend on. If there wasn't a profit to it, they wouldn't do it. That is the beauty of free entreprise, manufacturers can make what the customers demand. Thank goodness there isn't a gestapo in place like SOMEONE would like to keep us from having the products we desire. Designs have changed a lot from even the truck that Sugarmaker is rebuilding, and that is because the made what customers have wanted over the years.
