Post favorite pics of your rig and trailer

My truck only comes in a 5' bed.

true enough. Did you ever consider a Ranger bed? Do you find the size to be adequate? I only ask because my truck too has a 5ft bed, and if I got a taco bed trailer i think i'd run out of space again with the small bed haha. then again, the more space the more crap i stuff in there

i wanted a matching bed but i knew i would be compromising size. if i just wanted a trailer i would have built/bought a different now. i will work with what i have but i'm happy with my decision.

your truck came in both long and short bed so just build the long bed. same tail lights and bed design. i would if i had that option.

for you guys using truckbed trailers, what made the decision to use a 5ft bed opposed to a 6footer?

I went 7' (long bed MJ) cause I'm 6+' tall My intentions are to sleep IN the truck bed.

We'll see if I regret the decision, sometimes I worry she's too small, but size wise, I wanted to keep the trailer as compact as possible and still be functional, but try to get as close to the Xterra's wheelbase as I can. The Frontier of the generation my Xterra is based off of has the choice of either a 56.3 or 74.6 inch bed, and the long bed would of been much easier to find (in the price I wanted to pay), but I only needed the bed that was the length that would work for my RTT, and with the short bed, I planned to make a storage box up front to be able to always have kit stored in the trailer, but not take up any bed space. I could of done it technically the 74" and used a truck bed tool box, but then I can't run a solid tonneau cover; a 6ft bed with a storage box up front would be either too long, too out of proportion, or the storage box almost useless. I'm working the details (in my head) for a slide/fold out kitchen/camping setup, but make it somewhat easy to remove if and when I need to use it for general use, but that part is still a ways away.

Every have an issue needing to get in the trailer while someone is in the tent? I've always wondered about these setups with a hinged top.
