Do my eyes deceive me, or can you now order a new F150 SuperCab with an 8ft bed?

How long has this option been available? I would have loved to get my 04 with and 8ft rather than this goofy 6.5! Dirt bikes with the tailgate shut!!

 

It's been available since '04 I'm pretty sure.

 

With the SuperCab, you can only get the 8' bed if you get the "Heavy Duty Payload" package. It only comes with the 7 lug steel wheels. Only available on the XL & XLT, been that way since 2004.

Dude, it wasn't when I bought my 04, not with the SuperCab. And I have NEVER seen a pic of anyones, but I would love to see one.

 

I have one.

 

Wow. Kick me in the pants! I have never seen or heard of such a thing. 7-luggers, ugly steel wheels, no wonder nobody has one..

 

Show me pic, PLEASE!! I have to see one of these things.

 

Only pics I can find... Like you said, ugly... It looks very disproportional. With the heavy duty springs, it has it's butt jacked up in the air. Tires & wheels are too small. I think it looks stupid.

Here's the link if you want to buy this one. Kinda cheap actually.

I think it could look really cool. If you could somehow "monsterize" it a little. I think it would be a big bad a** machine. Is it hard to find stuff for it? Personally I would love the longbed, but only if I could make it look like a F250!!

 

I've seen better examples than that. All stock tires on the F150 look too small. Wheels are a standard 17" but can be replaced with aftermarkert chrome. The rear isn't jacked up any higher than other F150's but a 2" leveling kit will make it level. What really looks out of proportion are the short bed F150's in my opinion.

 

You can find anything for a long bed F150 just like you can for a short bed F150.

 

Apparently, only like 4 aftermarket wheels are available for those 7 lug axles. www.tirerack.com & www.tires.com don't list anything.

If you level up the front and put some bigger wheels on it, it might look ok. I think the proportion is due to over-all length. Just like the screw 5.5, scab 6.5, regcab 8 all look kinda the same.

I can assure you my truck doesn't have that same stance & my truck is a 2WD also.

If you want wheels, there are lots of choices out there now. Centerline has (16) six-teen different 7 lug wheels alone!

Pictures can be deceiving. I've parked next to other F150's and we are about the same height.
