4wd for long bed available?

Is 4WD available on the 8 foot long bed version (quad cab) of the F-250?
Online I can only find sales listings for them in RWD.

Dunno about 250's but I've got a 350 srw that is 4wd, 8ft bed with supercrew cab (4 doors). I've looked online and they're hard to find.

New or Used

in fact 4x4 are far more common then 2 wheel drive.. bed does not matter.
2 door, Super Cab, 4 door... THEN 6.5 or 8 foot bed.

250/350 are the same truck.. and has been for years... it a paperwork thing for the state's.

it a LOCAL thing... some areas like short bed.. others like long bed.

but most 4 door long beds do not fit in garages... or fit going thru drive-thru Fast-Food places.

my local area.. its almost impossible to find a Gas, 2 wheel drive, long bed, Super Cab or 4 door.
Diesel YES, 4x4 YES. 4 door YES, long bed YES.......
,come to N.E. Ohio. you will find all the 4x4 long beds you want. any year...

I have a F250 Long bed Crew Cab FX4 Lariat. Great truck, will never have a 2wd again, or a short bed for that matter. I love this truck.

I have seen a lot of these quad-cab trucks referred to as "long bed".
But they clearly are not the 8 foot long bed. Is there a "long bed" and
a "super long bed"? What is the name for the 8-foot bed version?
I see a lot that are more like 6.5 feet long, yet are referred to as the
"long bed" version. I'm a tad confused.

Ford makes three cabs, and two bed lengths for the pickups.

Standard (single), Super, and Crew cabs, which have 1 door, 1.5 doors, and 2 doors per side each. The half door is a suicide door on the Super Cabs.

Short and Long beds, short is 6.75 feet, long is 8 feet.

Single cabs are only available with 8 foot beds. Super and Crew cabs can have either bed length.

RWD or 4x4 is available in all cab/bed combinations.

I don't know why people are stupid and advertise the short bed as a long bed.

Because their idea of the shortbed is the 5.5' version on the f150 CC.

If they can't tell an F150 from a Super Duty, then there ain't a lot you can do to help them at that point.

OK then, see the attached 2 photos and tell me that these are both F250 "long" beds.
One obviously is (the one on pavement) -- but is the one on grass seriously a
long bed? They are both being advertised as long bed!

I wouldn't mind having a 5.5' bed on a crew cab as long as it also had a shorter wheel base. my ccsb is a bitch turning and flipping u turns

Are the F250 quad-cab long beds -- the real long beds: 8 feet long -- still manufactured?

I cannot seem to find a quad cab with 8' long bed F250 much past 2010 available for sale anywhere. All I see is the quad with 6.5 foot bed (advertised, of course, as a "long bed F250" every single time).

Yes, they are still made.

If you're searching for "quad cab" though, you're mixing up a Dodge term with a Ford one. Look for "Crew cab" long bed.

Yes, CCLB..... next is SCLB then standard long bed.
I have the Super Cab Long bed its a 2012...

but many are CCSB.. because MANY do not want the EXTRA long frame.

many garages can not hold a 25 foot truck.

and WHAT TEXASTECH said.. you are mixing Dodge and Ford names.
