Default Anyone have one of these monsters?

This is an F150 with Ecoboost, 8 ft. bed and heavy duty suspension. How many of you have one of these with 7 lug wheels?

This one may belong to someone here.

That picture was posted on the Truck Enthusiast forum.
I also have one in my possession.
f150 supercab, 8 foot box hd payload package, max tow ecoboost. It is about three feet longer than my e150. Takes some getting used to.
But oh is it nice and quick!!!!
Compared to the old truck, it flys.
I got mine with the max tow to pull my 31 foot Airstream trailer and an 8 foot box to haul material for work.
Also just got a Leer cap on it.

I have an 09 with the ext. cab and 8 foot bed. White with silver lower accent. I love the 8 foot bed. I don't haul a lot but that extra 2 feet comes in handy. Right now it is full of furniture that I hauled from pa. to ocean city for my brothers beachhouse. My old truck had the 6 foot bed and everytime I went to the lumber yard I had to fart around tying stuff in so I could run with the gate down. I have the camera and backup sensors which I would strongly recommend but most of my parking is in lots with plenty of space. I really didn't need the heavy duty towing package and heavy duty payload that comes standard with the truck and could have gone with the higher gear ratio rear end for better gas mileage.

As far as looks, I couldnt do it, my 2010 Crew, 6.5 bed is long enough, but for someone who can use the length, go for it. I would be pissed if I had to try to park that thing anywhere, no garages fit, parelell parking is nor more, as well as parking lots, you would need two spots just to keep the *** tucked in.. looks crazy
