Bought mine used it is a short bed wish mine was the 6.5

A 5.5' bed was all I needed and I wanted the truck to fit in the garage.

My dealer had no 6.5 foot beds in Race Red. Only four they had on the lot was the Short bed. I think the short bed is fine. I can still load the riding mower , and or the quad in the bed, along with a few tool boxes. It does suck trying to find a cap at at decent price for a short bed. You would think that since the bed is a foot shorter that you would pay less.

I have yet to find this true in MD..

5.5 for me. I don't need the extra foot and I think the short bed looks better

I didn't have much of a choice...

The only drawback I've had with the 6.5' bed is the long wheel base and the creek crossing on my property.

6.5 here and I am so happy with my choice and I too think it looks better especially lifted.

My dealer only had 1 5.5ft Screw on the lot. They tried to get me to take a 6.5 but I made them get me the short box. I like the looks much better and don't need the longer box. Plus with a 6.5ft bed I wouldn't even get my garage door closed.

5.5ft here, i have another truck with a 8' bed and a few trailers so if it doesn't fit in one it will fit in another.
