That would be CFR 2004, Title 49, Vol 5, Section 571.108, Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.

Like most laws, it's a fun read... but you can just jump down to table 1 on page 310 - "REQUIRED MOTOR VEHICLE LIGHTING EQUIPMENT OTHER THAN HEADLAMPS - Multipurpose Passenger Vehicles, Trucks, Trailers, and Buses, of 80 or More Inches Overall Width". The 5 cab lights are the combination of identification lamps (middle 3) and clearance lamps (outer 2). You'll notice that the law also requires them on the rear... that's why duallys also come with the 3 red lights under the tailgate.

Our SRW are spec'd at 80"...which would put them in the "80 or more" camp. Wonder if they might be just a TOUCH under...in order to qualify. Guessing the legal dept at Ford has done their homework, and that's why the SRW doesn't come equipped with all of those lights. Either way, thanks much for the info.

This law is also why the Raptor has 3 lights in the grill, clearance lights in the front fenders and the three rear marker lights in the 3rd brake light. The cab lights were a must have for me when I searched for my single rear wheel. Luckily I was able to find the exact truck I wanted and did not have to wait through the ordering process.

Tuned
Mirrors do not count in fixed body width measurements (since they can generally move on trucks and buses) - only parts of the body that are permanent in placement like a dually fender, or in the Raptor's case, the flared fender panels.
