If I ever got a new truck. I like the big dodge 4X4's with a Cummings diesel. So I could tow a house with it.
I just like the dodge's front ends look. But I will stick with my durango until I loose the rust battle. I only drive the poor thing in the snow mainly. I do get it out just to run it in the summer tho. It isn't good for them to just sit. |

Finally ready to buy the truck and I find out that Ford is only making the truck I wanted with a 5.5 foot bed. Wanted a 6.5 foot bed. For the rest of the year that is all they are making. And the truck and engine combo I wanted they don't even offer it. Back to square one.

Ray, have you done an "inventory search" on the Ford site? There may be a truck just like you want setting on a Dealers lot somewhere. I went through that when I was looking for a new Ford van.

Ford has not made the truck I want with a 6.5' box all year. Not an option for this year. Maybe next year. You have to buy the big motor truck to get the larger box.

I've had a 5.5' bed on the last two F150's I've bought, both are 4dr SCrew...and not been any issue. Figure I'm driving around with an empty bed about 99% of the time.
Although I've been hauling 4'x8' sheets of 1/2" plywood this week.

It's a 2015 Colorado Z71 Trail Boss edition which gave me bigger tires, skid plates, spray on Bedliner, locking rear end. I was thinking about a full size but this fits me better for my daily driver as it is suppose give me 20-24 MPG. So far I like it.
