Are you talking about the 8ft box of the 6.5ft box? If its the 8ft box they dont exist.

They are harder to find because that configuration takes away from the payload and towing capacities. That and they are longer and harder to park than the 5.5.

2nd about being a "female dog" to park... even my 5.5 footer is. I laugh when I see guys with the 8'-ers parked up front at the grocery store/Home Depot, and their **** end is 4' into the aisle. Hence why I park as far away as possible. That and she's brand new and I'm not partial to scratches.

They are hard to find because I took one off the market!

You get used to parking pretty quick. It's huge. (thats what she said)

Why go long bed when you can go bed extender?

Your quads and other toys should fit up there just fine.

I like mine. I built it online and found one in my area. I've seen a fair amount of them in my area. The 5.5 is more common, but the 6.5 bed is gaining ground. I like the option of the 35.7 gallon tank, which I have as well.

Try to build one through fordvehicles.com and then search inventory in your area to find the truck you want.

Honestly! I saw one on the dealer lot, and I just didn't like it. Too much truck for me and my needs. I think if I wanted that configuration I would just get an F250? Put a cap on it and you could really load that thing up with people and gear though.

What are the advantages of a 6.5' box on a Screw? I remember talk of problems putting a fifth wheel on a Screw because of the shot box.
