Have ri factory order so...

The long bed. It looks better and there is an aftermarket 36+ gallon fuel tank that only works with the LB.

I love my 36 Gallon tank, right around 1000 miles a fill up. As Clever said I prefer the long bed it looks better when the vehicle has a crew cab. Plus for me I couldn't fit my ladders in the short box.

The short bed is short, I have one. I was buying used and bed length wasn't on the checklist, though maybe it should have been? Still, I got my Babymax and most of the options I wanted, so can't complain.

I have a Denali short box. I ordered mine with the short box. Test Drove both length and like the short box. To each their own.

They found one. Will be posting pics over the weekend.

For my needs, Towing, hauling material and running a tool box, the long box is my only suitable option.

IMO, SB looks better. But think of your duty. I tow a bed hitched Escape fiberglass rec trailer. I know of at least one guy who tows his with a short bed, but I would not want that ride. I went CCLB and never looked back. FYI, you can still do a Uey on a city street with a CCLB. Also FYI, as others ave written, the long bed isn't really long. But long enough to do what a Silverado 1500 short bed can do.

I am taking delivery of a SB Friday

Congrats!

It all depends on your use cases. I have a CC LB Colorado with the miniMax. I bought it as a fuel-efficient hauler for my trials and dual-sport motorcycles or bicycle, tow vehicle for a flat bed trailer, and general work truck. I haul household garbage to the transfer station once or twice a month. A normal load would not fit in a short bed without a tarp (I have a bed cover for hauling garbage, covered loads are required by the county). With the long bed I can barely shut the tailgate on either a Yamaha e-MTB loaded straight in or my trials motorcycle loaded at an angle. My KTM 350 requires the tailgate down. Short bed is just too short to do the things I need a pickup truck to do.
