"Longer planes are probably more sensitive to attitude control as they seem to have the same size of landing gear and thus have more limited allowable pitch ranges."

On the:
767-200 tail strike pitch attitude is 13.1 degrees
767-300 tail strike pitch attitude is 9.6 degrees
767-400 tail strike pitch attitude is 9.4 degrees

I hope this helps.
