WOW never would have guessed that. Just looking at it you wouldn't think there would be that much diff.

Too big for city driving. Too much weight/too long for a lot of places on the farm. Dad had a 4 door short bed a few years back, but he would rather have the bed space than the cab space, so now he has a reg cab long bed.
Demand.
I agree they are more functional on a work truck and should at least be offered as an option. However, I think the majority of people that buy half ton's don't really need the long bed. Most people will never haul more than an occasional scoop of mulch or a run to the local big box store. This is the category I fall into. Those that actually need the long bed probably has the need for a 3/4 or 1 ton truck as well.

Because most of us don't want a bus?

Well I always thought of a BURB as a junior bus. But being my truck is 3 feet longer then a burb might have to rethink it. LOL No offense to burb owners there still a neat ride!
Well we would like a bus, just the short version.
My CCSB is pain enough to park here in the city. And I live in IOWA! 
I can't imagine trying to do a CCLB in a heavy populated city.
That was the nicest thing about my RCSB . . . parking and maneuvering was a breeze

If you think a CCLB is bad for parking try a tandem steer tri drive truck in the downtown area at lunchtime. Im not bothered by the size of the CCLB...its the idiots in compact cars that park like their driving one that make life tough....that and parking spaces keep seeming to get smaller as the cars get smaller.
