My 2018 was a short be. For my needs, a 6.5' bed beats out the 5.5' every time. I do woodworking and that extra foot makes a big difference as far as carrying plywood and long boards.

I also do a lot of camping and long drives. I am 6' tall; it's nice to know that I can sleep in the back of my truck if I have to or want to, to watch the stars at night in and around Big Bend.

Driving it is almost identical to the short bed. I generally park away from stores anyways, but I have not had a problem with parking. I have noticed my truck sticking out a little bit further if I don't back it in.

It is amazing how often I said, "If I only had another foot," with my 2018 short bed. This is why when I upgraded to 2021, I went with the 6.5' bed, and I don't plan on going back.
The backroad campsites in Big Bend were a reason I went with the longer bed. With our current TT we are locked into Rio Grande Village or Cottonwood when it's open. The road into the Basin is just a little too tight in spots.

Took delivery yesterday. Fits in the garage with 2-3/4” to spare!
Love it. Gotta ask 'bout the garage though ........ it sure don't look anything like a garage to me. There's no tools or guy-toys hang'n up or lay'n around. Our longbed Powerboost F150 fits in our garage but Ford's factory trailer mirrors are on our XLT so they're manually operated. Since the truck is parked on the single garage door side, I gotta fold in one of the mirrors everytime it's backed into the garage. Hopefully this 76 year old guy will remember to fold it in....... or else rip it off the truck.

Yeah, new place just as COVID hit. Basically put everything on hold for over a year with gear, tools, and toys still boxed and stored. Now that summer temps are here, I’ll be cleaning and preparing the concrete and putting on a full broadcast epoxy floor—then can finally “move in.”

ha ha ha.
I’ve had shortbeds for years. Lack of longbed candidates on the market.
Shortbed pickups have only aggravated over the years.
6-1/2 feet is a shorty.

i Had to order an 8’ SuperCab.

gotta say tho, the 157” and the 164” sure do ride nice.
Is that Antimatter Blue, longed, tow mirror, PB? I am ordering one tomorrow!
