Looking for '15 SCREW with 6.5' bed, none to be found

I cannot believe I am having such a hard time finding this truck...

Looking for a 2015 XLT SCREW with a 6.5' bed and 5.0 engine, no dealers have them locally. Not looking to order, NOT looking for a 5.5' bed, NOT looking for a SCAB

Is anyone else having this problem?

Also 2014's are disappearing from lots faster than I figured they would be and deals are not that great

They still have them at the factory

I really wanted the 6.5' bed SCREW Lariat loaded, ordering was the only option. Not a ton of 6.5' beds to be found period, especially in SCREW.

If I wanted a 5'5" bed, I would have my truck already. Alas, 10 weeks to go.

So they have not released any of the SCREW's with the 6.5' bed yet? WTF? You have to order them?

You may want to wait for a 2016.

They have released them, but I have yet to see a dealer with one in stock. People want the 5.5' bed.

I went to forddirect.com and did an inventory search. There are 100+ SuperCrew 6.5' bed 2015 F-150's in my area, 57 in XLT, 33 with 5.0. Whether they are all on the lot or not I don't know but they are coming. Try forddirect for your zip code and then do an extended inventory search.

Yea, I run into the very same problem at my dealer. They just don't order the Screws with the 6.5' bed because people wont buy them.

I'm going to have to order one I think if I am to get a 15

Did you actually look at the window sticker of these vehicles?

I did a search specifying SCREW and 6.5' bed, and it found some, clicked on view window sticker, and they are all showing 145" wheelbase... should be 156" wheelbase for 6.5" bed

Actually after looking at a couple dealers a little father out, I found a couple, but they were all Lariat's, most 4x4... $60,000 trucks, **** that...

I found a 2014 actually that almost fits my needs, but it's the heavy duty payload package, and it's a 2014

The window sticker on mine confirms 157" WB. You have to specify extended inventory and only look at 100% exact matches.

Here it is in my area...

57 exact matches for XLT 6.5' bed SuperCrew:
http://www.inventory.ford.com/dealer...FW1EFXFFA83860

33 exact matches of same but with 5.0:
http://www.inventory.ford.com/dealer...FW1EFXFFA07992

Your results may vary.

I looked up the same with a Miami zip code and only 2 exact matches were found. and 4 found with a Tampa zip code. Maybe Florida dealers don't like that build combo as much as the North East.

I found a couple, all Lariats, screw that

So I went online to try to see what building a vehicle would cost, and some weird things, in order to get the 3.73 axle on a XL, you cant have the sport package and have to add the heavy duty payload package? WTF? What legitimate reason would that be?

I am pricing XLT's and XL's if I can get what I want

I also came to the weird realization today that I can get a F-250 XL crew cab for less than a 2015 F-150... what is going on?
