Question Need your help quickly! 2012 F250

Waking up tomorrow morning to pick up an F250. It's too late now to call and ask and it's a 3hr ride to get there. From the picture can you all confirm that this is a long bed "I'll be able to load an 8ft plywood sheet"?

Thank you'll so much!

Thanks, the vin number suggests that it's a 6ft ... but it looks like an 8ft.

If that picture is really the truck your going to buy then it’s a long bed 100%. Where are you running the vin #?

Here's the dealer description "6-3/4' pickup box -inc: (4) tie-down hooks"
Searchquarry vin lookup says "Cargo Length 81.80"

but it definitely looks like an 8ft bed.

You can tell it’s a long bed because of the size if the area between the back of the cab and the front of the back wheel well.

if you check the vin and it comes back as a short bed - make sure you check the vin when you go to pick it up and the vin on the paperwork they are giving you matches the actual vin on the truck.

the truck in the picture certainly appears to be a long bed.

keep us posted

Ditto. I would double check everything before signing the paperwork. If needed, walk out to the truck to confirm. If they hid the truck before delivery, continue to feel free walking to your vehicle that you came in. At this point continue to look for another truck that is better repped. Looks like a long bed in the picture to me as I own and know what a short bed truck looks like. However, it is not uncommon for a dealer to screw up the pictures. Most of the time they cover themselves with a clause "vehicle in picture may not be correct" something to that effect. Sometimes the just don't hire people who know the project the dealer is selling or actually just mix up pictures. Best of luck and please keep us informed.

Let's be clear that is a long bed in the picture. There is no doubts about that. Who would buy a truck without looking it over first? It either is the truck in the picture.......or it isn't.

and dont just check the vin on the dash... check it in multiple spots. I almost bought a used two year old 1500 ram back in 01’ that had all matching vin numbers except for the dash. The number on the dash didn’t come back to anything it had never been issued it was a mistype when it was punched but dodge made it so difficult to have corrected I backed out of the deal but yeah that is an 8’ bed all day in your picture.
