Pickup trucks today aren't really meant to be primarily used as trucks.
In the past pickups were meant to be a truck first and haul people second. Today it's the reverse. They are a passenger hauler that can haul more cargo than an SUV. Fucking "trendy" people have bastardized them. They wanted something that would sort of do what an old crew cab truck could but those were "too big/too ugly" so we now have pickups with 4 foot beds that sit really high but have dick snot for hauling capacity.
The shorter fleet sides on even the full sized beds make for less cargo space like you're saying.
Hell my '01 has a 6.5 foot bed. What the hell is wrong with 8 foot beds? The "mid size" Dakota I had was an 8 foot bed! So was my S10.
Stupid trendy assholes thought pickups would be cool but not if they are like "well ya know......the stuff that rednecks drive". So what do the manufacturers do? Bastardize them to capture the snotty fuckers who have more money than brains market.
I'm glad you found a truck with a full sized bed and some people hauling capacity. As for caps, you might want to look into Jeraco caps. They make some decent high rise models to give you a better height profile so you can stack more gear.

It looks to me like the rear seat backs don't fold down but the benches fold up.
