No, it's the crew cab with a 6 foot bed. His is the same, though the new trucks have a little more room in the back seat area.
The 8' would be nice on occasion, but that does start to push my threshold for size. We debated with the new truck, and came very close, but they are hard to find with the right options.
Realistically, I've found most furniture and whatnot doesn't exceed 6 feet, and when it does you leave the tailgate down and tie it up. I also have the benefit of an 18' trailer.
