I completely understand. I've caught myself saying to my fiance "that's a work truck" a lot whenever I see trucks I like. I drive a truck that I use for work. My definition of a work truck is a lot like mine, not a small bed, if there is a lift it's for function, not looks so unless you know what you're looking at you don't notice it. It's got a single or extended cab and it's got some dings and scratches. If you don't know the size of the bed in your truck you don't use it enough. I haul sheets of plywood and drywall often and an 8ft bed would be great but my 6.5 does the job just fine. I'm changing jobs so I don't know if I'll need it anymore but that truck was my livelihood for a long time.
