wish they offered an 8' bed with the crew cab a threw away the 5.5' bed its pointless. But I have and will always have a tool box in my bed and i also dont see were 1 foot less helps anyone or anything its still a long truck.

 

They do in the F250s. There isn't much demand for a 1/2 ton crewcab/8ft bed. It's hard enough to find a scab/8ft...

 

Count me in

 

now you need a 3/5 dropb

 

True they do offer it in the f250 but its just as rare to find a gas motor in a crew cab f250 long bed and I don't have a need for the extra maintenece cost of a diesel not to metion they haven't had a reliable diesel since the 7.3

 

Ford owns a big stake in cummins. They should just start putting the cummins in the super dutys and put the powerstroke in the dodges. FORD (CUMMINS + TORQUE SHIFT) > dodge (powerjoke + 47re/48re/68re).

 

Agreed

 

You can get a cummins in the commercial f450 and up not sure why they don't sell them in the smaller trucks

 

The SC with a 6.5' was the main reason I just moved up from my '06, once I realized the additional bed space, the short bed days were numbered. I love the 6.5 SC (it is a bit longer when navigating in parking lots but not a big deal)

 

6.5 Box for me! Anything smaller is useless for what i need a truck for.
BTW...if i didn't need a truck, I'd definitely be driving a MKS.

 

If i had the chance to order one all over again i would have bought the 6.5 bed. the 5.5 is tiny.

BTW, i also still wish they made the flare side bed.

 

ordered mine with the 5.5...wish i could get the 6.5 but it won't fit in the garage!

 

6.5' here. Needed it. 5.5' = worthless for me.
