Depends on your needs/usage. I don't find the 6.5' bed on my half ton truck useless at all, in fact I use it all the time to do truck stuff... hauling lumber, hauling trash to the dump, hauling mulch, hauling motorcycles and camping gear, etc. It also does a great job of towing my two single axle trailers (one open, one enclosed), which are well within it's towing capacity.
Might not meet YOUR needs, but it is anything but useless to me.
And to keep the thread semi on topic, here is my non-useless half-ton truck hauling a load that is properly secured with 4 ratchet straps to each bike, each strap rated at 1000 lb WLL.
