Pic Request: SCREW with 6.5' bed

Hopefully I won't get flamed for this, but I've searched long and hard for pictures of a SuperCrew with the 6.5' bed. I've searched here, several other forums (how dare I LOL), Google, you name it.

I've been oogling the 2011 F150 with the 6.2L for a while now, but we just found out this weekend that we're expecting our first child (finally!!) and I've decided to buy a 2008 Screw and pay cash for it instead of going into debt for a 2010 or 2011.

Anyhow, I need the longer bed and honestly don't think I've ever seen (or at least noticed) an 06-08 Screw with the longer bed. Anyone got pics they want to share? Or a link?

Thanks in advance.

Dude I don't have a pic handy, but I test drove an 07 Lariat screw 6.5' bed and I was impressed. Very very nice looking trucks. If I ever bought a screw I would only get the longer bed, its a perfect fit

test drove both an 07 lariat screw 6.4 4x4 and a 10 kr screw 6.5 4x4 monday and they are both great. but if its an option id definitely go with the 2010. they have a great turning radius on them even for being so long

i was looking for one when i was going to buy mine, but they seem very rare. granted my price range limited me to a high mileage 07 or low mileage 06. i couldnt find one in white that wasnt abused or with low miles. searched for a few months. but i believe there are more 08. good luck with your search. love the look of the SCrew with the 6.5

Thanks for the pictures guys. I paid close attention on my way home from work tonight and counted seven 04-08 screws, one of which had the 6.5' bed. It looks the most proportional to me, plus I can fit my dirt bike and /or street bike in the back and still close the tail gate.

Trust me, this is not a decision I'm making lightly. I WANT a 2011 F150 with the 6.2L, screw, loaded, you name it. But, with my wife pregnant, we'll soon go from a dual-income-no-children household to a single-income-with-child household. There goes a $46k salary plus $488 per month for healthcare.

The '08 just makes sense for me. As much as I want the 2011, I'm gonna take one for the team and buy a low mileage '08. And honestly, I think the '08 is a better looking truck than the 2011; I'll just have to make myself forget about the horsepower difference, better transmission, 6" longer cab, etc. LOL

FWIW, I bought a Super Cab instead of a Super Crew because when I was looking, the 6.5 foot bed was not available with the super crew configuration... I don't regret it though. The Super cab is surprisingly roomy inside.

The 6.5' box is why I bought my 2006 XLT, that and the true blue, 4x4, and XLT... I found the posting on the dealer's website and drove it home the next day. ...sure, I have my regrets too, but it was the truck I wanted and still plan to keep it until it dies.

anway, pics!




There are more in my albums.

Heres my 06 Lariat Screw. I waited until the 06 came out, because I wanted the 6.5 bed. i think it looks alot better than the 5.5 bed, with the crew cab.
