Why is the 6.5' Truck Bed for a 2011 GMC 3500HD often misnamed?

[Houseura]

The 6.5' Truck Bed for a 2011 GMC 3500HD is also referred to as the misnamed or misspelled because the measurements of the trucks are rounded by the manufacturers and retailers to ensure marketing ease. The real short bed length is nearer to 6.6 feet, though 6.5 ft is commonly used in listings and descriptions of products. This rounding may be confusing during the buying of accessories or spare parts. Being aware of the exact specifications of your 2011 GMC Sierra 3500HD can aid in proper fitment, save compatibility errors and help you avoid expensive errors in choosing aftermarket products.
