I doubt that they are going anywhere...
As long as they still sell cab-on-chassis trucks for towing or hauling that can't affort to waste the xtra length of the long extended cab, they will already have the single cabs in production. Then, with all the extended cab trucks there will always be a 6.5' box in production.
It costs very little to stamp a slightly shorter frame, and they already will be making all of the other components (maybe the F250 and F150 will go back to adopting the same cab structure)....

Also,
Ram and Ford discontinued their mid-size trucks (Dakota/Ranger) so the single short is their only option for small economy delivery truck options.
