Wanted to start a thread to see how many out there have the F150 Supercab with the 8' bed and heavy duty package. Besides myself, i've seen 2 on here. Taking a roll call you could say!

 

I don't have one but my dad has an 05 that I drive every once in a while. But i do wish i would have got one for the extra bed space.

 

And that about sums it up!

This truck is very rarely on a lot. Ford does the shortbed, ex, and screw, more than anything.

I have special ordered 3 ('00, '03,'07), because even dealer searches turn up nada.


I have dirtbikes, streetbikes, and a quad + gear, and shutting the gate is the only way to fly.

I have been towing around a bobcat with a tandem axle trailer-and that's about as heavy as I'd go.

20' boats are a breeze, and I'd imagine more so with a 4.10.

But the 4.10 is hurting mileage.

 

I agree. I like being able to load my toys or getting a sheet of plywood and shutting the gate

 

I have noticed this too as my dad has had a 97 an 01 and now the 05. The first two took forever to find. But with the 05 we just happened to walk into the dealer at the right time and they had one there. When we stated talking to the salesman he said that there was actually quite a bit of demand for them and they usually have them on the lot.
And heres a pic of my dads truck.

 

If there is such a demand, why dont we see more???

 

there was an 06 on the lot when I bought my truck.... everything was the same as my truck cept for the 8 foot bed and payload package

 

Well the biggest demand I see is the 2wd XL Work Trucks. I see lots of those.

I dont ever see an XLT 4x4 on the road.

 

It really sucks that you cant order them with the lariat package anymore. Looks like you modded yours to look almost like a lariat, except the ****ty 7 lug wheels

2 dealers near me always have them, but they are always white XL's, every once in a while they have an XLT

 

If I could of gotten a screw with the HD package I would of. 6.5' bed is enough for me but I'd like to have the extra payload capacity and 4.10's.

 

Present.

 

I like your truck RAMBO, set up nice. What kind of wheels and tires are you running?

 

The wheel is Wildnerness 8 Ball by Center Line, 17x8, 4.5 backspace. They are extremely strong and built for heavy duty use. The tire is 285 BFG All-Terain T/A KO.

I also like the Wilderness Wolverine. You guys should try one of these wheels by Center Line. They have a nice selection of wheels made for our 7 lug Ford trucks.

Thanks for that info..I'm gonna check them out

 

Rambo,
Those rims on your post would look sweet on my truck. One of the key concerns with our trucks is cleaning the rims, and those are cool, and easy.

What did you pay for yours? There is no baseline on the Centerline site.

Thanks
