Which one holds more cargo?
In the bed? It’s nearly the same size. New trucks are just jacked up with larger tires and an inflated plastic shell. Size sells even if it’s all fat. Yeah- the newer model added the passenger space so you can preserve your manhood when driving the kids around… but bed space hasn’t changed much.
Why do people only talk about bed size, payload and towing capacities are far more important when it comes to trucks. Yeah the trucks are larger than needed, but they haul and tow more as well. They are for different things.
That’s great but I simply do not believe most truck owners with these massive trucks are even thinking about towing or load capacity. Anecdotally, most of the people I know just want enough bedspace to be able to move thier couch when they switch apartments. I think most trucks could be a lot smaller and most people wouldn’t be affected
