As the names imply, the length of a pickup truck's bed (also called a box) is the key differentiator
between the three. While not universal, a short bed is typically around 5.5 feet long and is commonly
found on most crew cab pickups. A standard bed is usually 6.5-feet long, while a long bed is in
excess of eight feet; exact dimensions may vary, and not every truck offers each bed style.
