Everyone does. The short beds are just silly. I mean, 6-1/2 ft USED TO BE the short bed! 8 ft was standard. I don't get it. And folks get pissed when you ask them about it. Room enough for 2 bags of mulch and a tray of flowers.
5'7" bed is fine for me, track tools/tires, bags of mulch and landscape materials are my most frequent uses and bigger stuff like 8' sheets of plywood aren't fitted a 6'4" bed any better.
