I am currently shopping for a new 2017 F150 and want to know if there is something on the window sticker the notes which length bed the truck is equipped with? I am doing a lot of online looking a window stickers and options and do not see anything that marks what the bed size is.

Thank you
The window sticker should tell you the wheelbase of the F-150. Depending on the cab size, the wheelbase will tell you the bed size.
In a crew cab, the 5.5' bed is 145 in. The 6.5' is 156.
Supercab doesn't have a 5.5, but the 6.5 is 145 in, the 8 ft is 163 inches.
vulnox is 100% correct: wb+cab combo will give you the
One thing to mention is you'll likely have a hard time finding the "longer" combinations. The SuperCab 8ft bed and the SuperCrew 6.5ft bed were both rare as hen's teeth when it came to my search. I had to either pick a 5.5ft SCrew off the lot or order a 6.5ft SCrew.
Looking back, I wish I would've ordered instead of picking one off the lot....but I'm not sure what bed length I would've gotten, anyway.
Right. Pretty clear on the window sticker linked to, just need to know where to look:
SuperCab with 145 inch wheelbase is a 6.5 foot bed.
SuperCrew with 156.8 inch wheelbase is 6.5 foot bed.
SuperCrew with 145 inch wheelbase is a 5.5 foot bed.
I am looking for a Crew cab with the 6.5 bed. The dealer said he had two on his lot which I did not think was correct since I know they are rare to find like that. I looked at the web page and pulled the window sticker and it said the WB was 145 so I figured the guy was wrong.
I think I may just need to order one from Ford and wait.

Reason: left out a word
When I was on the hunt, wheelbase rarity was dependant on where the dealer was located. We have 7 Fords in town and 2 of them were in industrial areas, both had about 5-10 157" wb trucks. Even a 302a, unfortunately without hdpp but the 301 and below (including XL) were all hdpp.
The other dealers usually had none, or 1 or 2 XL's
I wish there wasn't a 100 mile limit on there when you search. It would nice if ford would update it to make it 250, 500 miles.
I'm right there with you. When I was searching that was a huge PITA. You have to change the zip code, and then weed through a bunch of the same trucks that aren't quite right .
