One thing I liked about some of the trucks like the honda ridgeline was how the entire bed was 4 footwide. You could actually lay the drywall flat. It's just a big sacrifice to have a that high. I don't need the drywall to lay flat though. I usually just buy a few 2x4s when I would go with my dad in his truck. Then put everything in at an angle so it's touching the ground at the front of the bed and is up over the tailgate. With the 2x4s under it everything gets enough support, so I'm perfectly fine with that.

I'll definitely look into some extended cabs first. Once it warms up I'll probably start going out on weekends with a tape measure to some car lots and measure some of the used trucks they have to get a good idea on what's out there. I feel like I want to pick up a supermoto before I get the truck, so that'll give me time to figure it all out.

The other reason I doubt I'll buy anything new/too expensive, is if I go to the dealership and finance I would have to pay full coverage on the insurance. That's not the worst thing in the world, but if I'm going to pull it next to my house and put a cover on it, I'd rather just pay less for insurance. That makes me feel like it would just be easier to try saving, and then get a small personal loan from the credit union so I get the title in my name.
