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.

Well all this Truck talk I went and did a impulse buy yesterday and got me one of those trucks....my daughter has been bugging me to get my Chrysler 200 and since she graduates in December from University of Michigan I got her a early gift as well as me.

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.

I drove one. Drives nice. The only problem I had was the drivers seat was about 8" away from the back seat. Still leaning toward a new ford. Congrats

Finally going out to buy a new truck. Looks like it will be a 2016 GMC Sierra 1500. Sold my Tundra today. There 15k off the MSRP right now.
