RVPuller, that's where my truck was purchased, but it was brought into state by another dealer. Crater Lake doesn't carry many V10 CC SB trucks (or didn't when I was looking). Several of the people I work with have Ford SDs, and mine is the only short bed. I like it though, I can park between them and hide.

Ace when I was there all they had was one diesel and all the rest where V10, but no DRW. Mine came from Grants Pass. The way I understood them both dealerships are owned buy the same people. I will be back in Medford area in September (Central Point) and then on to Bookings for the winter.

I drive my short bed truck around town when the weather is bad. It fits in most parking spots but usually will not fit in parking garages. It does a great job towing my 28' tag car trailer.
I'll probably buy a long bed when the new SD's are released and get a 5th wheel trailer.

Crew Cab was a must have...but to answer your ???
Two reasons, 1. I wasn't going to the dark side for an 8' bed ina half ton 2. In 2001 the F150 SC only came with that teeny little 5'5" bed. I think it sitll does.
looking back I like the F250 better. I'll never overload a 3/4 ton. Plus, other people are more curteous on the road when you have a heavy hauler.

Around here in my neck of the woods, crewcab shortbeds ans supercab longbeds are pretty much the only style of SD you see. I prefer the crewcab longbed because it looks evenly proportioned(supercab shortbed looks that way, too)IMO. When I bought my last SD('01 F350 crewcab longbed SRW) I had to order it because of the body configuration I wanted, and I wanted the floorshift transfercase and trailer tow mirrors.
