how common is this? - Heavy Duty Package

I just got an 06 f-150, XLT, supercab, longbed, with the 5.4 heavy duty package. Everyone who sees it says they have never heard of it.

The only difference that I noticed with this truck over others is that it comes with 4.10's and 7 lug wheels. Are there many of these out there?

I think 2 or 3 on this site have the HD F-150.

I have to call BS. I don't think there was ever a ford truck produced with a 7 lug wheel. 4.10's possibly, but 7 lug studs, nope.

Hmmm... you mean the truck with the Xtra long 156" wheel base?! I wanted one if they offered it in a stick. Muah... that longness is awesome.

Dude, I wish I had your truck... infact, I wish Ford would offer that wheel base in a 10' bed. I could use 2 more feet. My 8' bed is wayyyyy too small for what I do. Not to mention my 145" wheelbase is way too short... it's like driving a mini cooper.

It's obviously not as common as other F150's, but I do see them often enough.

As soon as you go to the heavy duty package, you're stuck with 7 lugs. It's an automatic for that package (no, I don't mean tranny). 4.10's are thrown in as well.
