Default Tips for finding 157" supercrew

I am having a hell of a time finding 157" wheel base trucks. There are a ton of 145" trucks but its a PITA having to go thru each listing to check bed length. I do a lot of my searches on cars.com. Anyone have any other ideas? I'm looking basically anywhere east of the Mississippi.

157" wheelbase

If you use the "Search Inventory" feature on ford's website bed length and cab size are both options in the filters. It'll allow you to search within a 100 miles of your zip code. Also any dealership can run a search for you and try and find 157" supercrews.

i was just wondering if the lariat supercrews w/ 6.5' bed have a higher value on the resale market in the USA. i lease and trade in every year or two, my dealer sells all the lightly enjoyed trucks to the usa as the dollar value and demand means us Canadians can get good deals based on high residuals.

Third. You negotiate price the same, at the end of the day it's the dealers truck until you sign the papers when it arrives. Plus with ordering, when you DO place your order, you lock yourself into the rebates available at the time of order. In addition to that, you are also eligible to take the incentives available at time of pickup. What this means is, you get to choose between (2) months of incentives. Whichever month fits you better and gives you a bigger discount, you can choose when you actually buy the truck! Fun fact.

Thanks guys. I really don't want to wait 8-10 weeks for a truck. I will spend some time on the Ford inventory website and see what I can find.

You can plug in any zip code and do the same search.

a powerboost 157 is going to be a unicorn right now. Powerboost aren't sitting on the lot, and 157s are rare in general.
