I sleep/camp out in the back of my truck on occasion so I needed the longer bed. Purchased the SCab and put a topper on it. We have no need of the additional seating with the Screw.

I always wondered, does the 5.5' box bolt onto the 6.5' RCSB body?

Currently there is no 5.5 RC option
but the 6.5 RC is 122.4" and the 8' RC is 141.1
in everycase the longer bed has a longer wheelbase

A friend is downsizing his home and 5 garage spaces to a 2 car garage..pray for him..
He had a 2015 Supercab with 8 ft box til his wife crashed and wrote it off.

He got a Supercrew with the 5.5' box so he's trying to sell his 8 ft box cover...no luck..no calls. No one has an 8' box anymore😮

I hate long beds when I rent through Enterprise commercial. . Driving that barge through Vegas is a curse. Got a Hugh deal on a 6.5 bed. Dang it.

Yes, sorry.

Surely someone's done it just because.

Unless I'm missing something, wouldn't that produce a truck that looks like this?
