Not sure I agree. The 1976 regular cab you linked is 16 foot 5 inches.

The modern regular cab you linked is 17 foot, 5 inches.

But that's not what the original image is checking. If we also check the current SuperCrew+ShortBed, that one is 19 foot, 4 inches.

So yeah, trucks are 3 feet longer and yet have less cargo room in the bed.

(And yes, TY for finding the links!)
