Was this usually a special order from the factory? I haven't seen any when I was in the market for a truck a few years ago on any lots. Anyone have one and do you find any troubles parking, maneuvering, etc?

It is: Supercab 8' bed and Crewcab 6.5' correct for 04-08's?

 

Those are not bad to park at all. The supercab 8ft bed are more common but mostly XLs. The crew 6.5ft are very rare. But go figure after i buy mine with a 5.5ft i find one for 1k more with half the miles.

Parking is not bad at all but i have owned crew 8ft bed f350s. F150s are still small to me.

 

Goddamn I wish I had a 6'6" bed in my crew cab! But then again if they were that rare then it would be very difficult to have found an exhaust for it. I just think the 5'6" bed is just too small.

 

Especially with a tool box in the bed!

 

ive got a crew cab with the 6.5 ft bed. its a 150" wheelbase for the 06-08 models. im in southern california and i see them all the time. i was actually looking for one with the 5.5 ft bed but couldnt find any fx4s i liked so i ended up with the 6.5 bed. this is my second crew cab/6.5 bed 150 and i love it. cant fit in my garage, but the utility of the full size bed is great.

when i bought my jba exhaust system, the kit i got was for a super cab with 8ft bed. i just had to cut off a few inches from the intermediate pipe to make it fit.

im happy with my set up. its not hard to park, and i also have a 6 in pro comp lift on it. truck looks killer with the bed size and lift kit.

 

Wish I had an 8 footer on my Scab. The 6.5' fits most things I need, though.

 

I have the 8 ft ext cab with an 8 ft bed. Heavy half with 3/4 ton suspension and drivetrain. My ONLY complaint is the limited amount of wheel selection for the 7 lug pattern

 

Heres my 06 screw with the 6.5 bed. I waited till 06 because I heard they were coming out and the 5.5 would have been to short. Im so used to it it seems short now.

 

If the 6.5 bed is rare mine being smokestone which was only available in 06 must be super duper rare.

 

Love my Screw w 6.5' bed. I can drive and park it like its a Prius, no problem.

It's 22' long so parking in a standard size garage isn't an option, plus with the 6" lift it's now 7 foot tall.
