[QUOTE="cmcarman15, post: 996153, member: 20262"] Hello Everyone, First time posting here, so if this is the wrong location, please forgive me. I am in the market for a new truck at the end of the year and have my eyes set on the new Raptor. I wanted to ask about those that currently have older models, or have had them in the past, and their experience with the short bed during day to day use. I'm not a big fan of the long 8 ft. beds on other Ford trucks as its too long, but my preference is definitely the 6.5 ft. for utility, storage, and occasionally camping. Seeing as the Raptor only comes with the 5.5 ft. bed, has anyone found good ways to utilize and work with a shorter bed, or is it really not that big of an issue? I have an Avalanche now with the 5.25 ft. bed that becomes 8 ft. upon demand. In the 4 years I've owned it, the longer bed length has come in handy a few times, but I'm not sure if it'd be a deal breaker for the Raptor without the unity advantage of the optional length extension. If I didn't get the Raptor, I'd most like get the F-150 with as many 4x4 and power options on it that I could to get it as close to the Raptor as possible (even though, it could never truly compete). Long story short, has the short bed on the Raptor been an issue for you guys, or not? Or is the truck just that awesome and amazing that who cares about the bed? (lol) Thanks for your time, Clinton [/QUOTE]
