I can't find statistics on sales, but I rarely see trucks with 8' beds. Sure there are people that buy regular cab, 8' beds, and even some serious professionals that get an HD crew cab with the 8' bed (which is a monstrously long truck!) But in general that is not what I see. Thus... "rare." (So... yup.)

    "Standard" does not mean "the average". That's a marketing term of art. You won't see "Standard" beds on jobsites. You'll see long beds, because you can fit a sheet goods in them. > I can't find statistics on sales, but I rarely see trucks with 8' beds You probably aren't around job sites very much

      Sure. And I would agree that the trucks you see on job sites are, by necessity, more "practical" truck buyers than what is typical. That doesn't mean it's what most truck buyers buy though. (Since way more people buy trucks than those driving them to job sites.)
