I should have mentioned there are some situations where the F450/550 pickups make sense, typically a fifth wheel rv where they want a reasonably sized truck to shoot around town and such once they have the trailer unhooked at the campground. It is an upgrade from a F350/C3500, but still parks at Walmart and antique stores like a pickup truck. I just don't think I'd want to stretch one and put a box on it. Speaking of parking, my 6500 is 26' long, but I zip around town like a car once you are used to it, and the only time I have trouble finding a parking spot is something like a downtown where you have to park on the street. For instance when we were camping in the Keys last winter, If we took the truck into old town Key West we had to use a pay lot, no chance of finding a street parking spot for something that size. Other than that no problems, take it anywhere you take your car.
