All personal choice. Just be glad that the screw cabs have a bed choice....


I like the 5.5. With a 6.5 on a screw, you should have to get school bus yellow paint....

That Long hauler ram looks awesome, I have no use for 170 gallons of fuel, But would LOVE that as far as towing and hauling locally is concerned...


BTW one of the bigger reasons I chose ford over dodge or chevy was that I could get a 6.5 bed with a crew cab, the rest give you only a 5.5. I love bed space, some times that extra foot makes the difference between two trips or one from the supply house.

6.5 screw. Fits in the garage just fine. It's only 1' longer than a 5.5 screw (natch). People act like it's the size of a supertanker. LOL

To each his own. I personally think the 8ft beds are awful looking. Plus for the longest time I was used to only driving a Jeep Wrangler as my DD, I've already had a heck of a time parking just a 6.5ft bed...let alone an 8ft bed.

Drive 24ft box trucks in the city then wiggling a crew cab long bed 350 around feels like a civic.
