I have the 5.5 and find it easy to park. Not sure how much tougher the 6.5 would be. I don't need to haul a lot of big stuff and have a nice utility trailer for that anyway. I actually think the 6.5 looks better. More proportionate. But the truck I got was what was avalible and I like everything about it so for me the bed size was never an issue. I have driven an F350 SC 8' box. Now thats something you don't just scoot around the parking lot.

It all depends on what you need! Personally that foot less fits my garage perfectly with just enough space to walk around. Though looks are personal, I like the smaller one better, the extra foot makes the whole truck look a lot longer than it already is.

Thanks for all the replies.
I went and looked at them again tonight and I'm going with the 5.5. The 6.5 just looks huge. I don't think I'll miss the extra foot too often, but I'll be parking the thing daily. In my garage at work, it's already a little tight with my current truck, so I think the 6.5 would be tough.

Good choice. I test drove the 6.5 and wasn't concerned w/parking it at all and it would fit in my garage (a little tight) But that thing just looked sooo long (think locomotive lol). I know looks is a matter of opinion but I think the 5.5 looks really sharp. 6.5 cost $300 more and has less re-sale valus down the road.

Definately a personnal choice. Me, I didn't like the look of the 5.5. What sealed the deal on the 6.5 bed was after I threw some 6ft folding tables in the back of my current truck, I was able to closed the hardcover and tailgate. With the 5.5 bed I would not able to do so.
