The smaller one has a bigger bed ๐คฆ
Lol and easier to load
My biggest gripe with modern trucks really. Have fun putting that new refrigerator you needed in there and then getting it out once you're home, and God forbid you put a toolbox behind the cab, you're climbing into that bed to get every little thing you didn't think you'd need because you can't just get it by reaching over the side.
Modern trucks are so fucking ridiculous Ford added a fold out stepladder to the tailgate on their trucks.
Also, gets 10 more MPG. Which is funny cuz the new trucks should have eco boost and all sorts of new more fuel efficiency modes or whatever but instead they're so large and over designed ("Military Grade!!!!!" Pshhhhhhh) they get even less mpg on average.
Truly only for show
Chevy had a great idea with the Avalanche (that they've brought back with the Silverado EV). It had "saddlebags" - lockable waterproof storage on either side of the bed which Dodge copied with the Rambox.
The big feature though is the midgate which allowed you to open a panel from behind the back seats to access the bed and effectively converted the truck into a single-cab with an 8' bed. Great thing about that feature is if you had something that slid to the front of the bed, you can get to it through the cab.
There is a four door version of the front truck with a similar sized bed.
Also, you could probably put three of the front truck on a car trailer and tow it with the back one.
You could probably tow 4 of the front truck with the front truck.

Yeah, no. Old pickups like that didn't have particularly good tow ratings, especially two wheel drive models.
The small truck secretly has a 6.7L V8 squeezed under the hood next to the flux capacitor.
Bigger one also has 5 seats.
If you need 5 seats get a car.
