When I was looking used, I couldn't depend on any of the sites to have the bed length adequately stated, if at all. So, I got really good at being able to visually distinguish between a 5.5' and 6.5' bed. The area just behind the cab is where you see the difference. Of course, you have to hope that sales pictures have the right angle you need. Good luck in your search!
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.

I switched to searching on Autotrader.com and the Ford site because you can search for bed length on those.
I ordered my 157. I think the odds of me finding one without the the 502a package was about the same as winning mega millions. Practically every stocked lariat I see has this package and I don't think its worth the almost 7k. Will miss the heated steering wheel though, but couldn't justify it since I don't think it adds much other than that.

Most dealers order based on projected retail mix from Ford, so unfortunately for you, that's basically STX, XLT 302a and Lariat 502a. Good choice on ordering your own.
I ordered mine 157. Finding them isn't easy because most people use them as cars and want the shorter wheel base for parking. If I am going to spend this kind of money, I want what I want, so I ordered. Good luck with your search.
Yeah, good luck finding one. I had to special order my 157" with towing mirrors. There was only a few in the entire country when I was looking. Most people don't want the 157" because they usually don't fit in most garages and the normal truck owner doesn't need/want a 157".

My wife convinced me to get the 157. She said if you are going to get a truck, get a truck with a real bed!
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.
With the Canadian website search, box size is an option, but there is no way to make any of your selections mandatory. The results show "similar" trucks which have some of the features you selected, but you still have to look through each one to see which ones it has.

All the driving assist, lane stuff, upgraded auto-moving headlights, heated wheel, navigation system....
Yeah, there's a lot. And if you added the chrome package like I did, you're already mostly there.
