Exact same reasons for me choosing 5' bed.
Mine is supposed to be here at the end of the month, so we'll see, but I went with the 5 foot bed for better breakover angle and easier parking. I am coming from a civic. Never daily drove a truck before so I figure the 5 ft bed is easier for me to work with. My garage isn't cleaned out enough to use right now but having the option to park inside later is also nice.
Everything above.
That's why there is variety in choices. To accommodate a variety of people. Your truck looks nice btw!If I wanted a shorter wheelbase would've bought an LC or 4R & built it out (next vehicle).
When I took delivery of my LB TH there was a white 5' TH parked next to mine the dealership manager was driving around as his personal vehicle. IMO the extra foot really makes the truck, optics and utility.
If I had to sweat breakover angles & getting rad on class 4+ I'd just rent a side by side and trash it for the day. My gen 4 is for long haul missions to Baja Sur, big storm trips all winter, desert in the spring & fall. Ultimately gear length & how my GFC & roof rack will integrate was the deciding factor.
IDK the exact length of this vehicle and my full size but they're both close, so I'm used to driving & parking longer rigs. The cameras on the TH are sick, perfect park job every damn time.
It doesn't matter which model and we considered basic through halos, the 5 ft bed was useless for me. They can't carry what my minivan did. If I put a ladder or other test things at an angle it blew other space.
