Crew cab + 8' bed would be like 30' long.


This is what I have. The wife and kids call my truck "the short bus".

Yeah, the typical bed size is 6.5ft for a regular man's truck. The 5.5ft has only come about within the past 10 years, and I do not approve. Just can't find a half ton with a 6.5ft bed that is crew cab.

I have just made the decision that my passengers are gonna have to suck it up with an extended cab because I am not giving up that extra foot

I don't have $50k laying around, and am gonna sit back and relax while not paying a car note. Will be nice since I have been doing it since 2000


FWIW, yours is the second one I have ever seen with a real bed

I found a few used when searching eBay motors last year. But none had the newer ford engines so I passed.

It's nice to have. 5.5' is just dumb small.
