Wheelbase difference on new longbed trucks

Is it true what I see on window sticker that 4 door long bed wheelbase is 176 versus 172 on my 2016 dually. Is this do to new frame?

Bigger interior! Ford already has bigger and better cab than the others. Guess it will help the ride quality also.

That's for sure! Usually park farthest spot away cause it takes up 2 spaces. Unless at Cabelas or Cracker Barrel RV parking
