The long bed is 7ft instead of the standard 6.5ft. It has more capacity but the load weight is determined by the rear leaf springs. The beds do not interchange, neither does the king cab bed. If you are hauling heavy things you may want to have a spring shop add a leaf to your spring pack for added load capability.
