But anyway I have both trim levels and besides the quality of finish materials and some stuff you dont need, the XL can be had with most all the gadgets.
I love grammar police and snobs. You fit both profiles. Some prefer the short bed, but I guess you know better. I'm also sure my short bed has seen more work/hauling than your pristine long bed.
I wasn't going to make a response, but the irony of a guy with a reg. cab XLT with stock suspension, exhaust and wheels being referred to as a "snob",,, hmm. My comment about hauling comes from my several decades of hauling many sheets of mahogany, maple, oak, and birch veneer plywoods and other construction suplies from the supplier 150 miles down the salty, muddy, dusty, wet road to our small community, using my '91 long box w/ canopy, then my '09, and finally my '16. The stuff just had to be enclosed. Had to use my personal truck - no company vans here. Now retired, my "pristine" long bed over the last month or so has hauled the woodpile shown from private lands located about 10 miles away. I just yesterday hosed out the box. 10 rows of wood. The trucks that I have owned over the years are washed, though, and between the dust from the local gravel operation, winter mud and salt, and summer ash fallout from forest fires, I do get a coat of cheap wax onto it once or twice a year.
I will readily admit to being a "snob" when it comes to motorcycles. Possibly also fishing reels.

That looks like what we call Red Pine. Only place I've found it around here is on the west side of the divide.
About a 100 mile round trip for me.

Coastal hemlock. Needs to season/dry for a long time, but once dry it burns with a fair amount of heat in the woodstove. I figure that with what I have in the sheds now, this will be burned in '25 or '26 if I am still alive. I am on northern Vancouver Island, btw.
am I the only one that thinks the F150 with the long bed looks kind of weird. Its not proportionally right to the eyes IMO. I see their purpose for fleet work vehicles, but not for a personal vehicle. If I needed that large of a bed for personal use, id get an F250 simply for the esthetics of it if nothing else.
