SuperCrew bed length
I don't see a way to make a poll so I guess I will just post a question as to what the most popular bed length is being sold 5.5' or 6.5'. I am guessing more 5.5's. Of you with the 5.5' bed, do any of you carry full size motorcycles in it? Full size like a bagger Harley. It's gotta be tight.

In my experience:
8' bed = tail gate up.
6.5' bed = rear wheel in bed, tailgate cannot be closed.
5.5' bed = rear wheel on forward part of tailgate, possibly in gap.
(at least for a Dyna, R1200GS, and WR450F...regrettably none of which were mine. Also I'm basing this on experience with GMC's, but bed lengths are bed lengths).

I'd bed its even less than 20%, probably more like 5-10%. I see so few 6.5 foot SCrews. Didn't they start offering the 6.5' bed in 2004, or was it a little later?

Also, the easiest way to tell (for me) is to look at the space from the front of the bed/cab split to wheel well.

I personally like the look of the 6.5' better than the 5.5' (especially in a lifted 4x4 application). The shorter bed just looks puny back there.

JMO, I don't think a fullsize Harley bagger will fit in the back of a 5.5' bed. My Shadow wouldn't fit in the back of my Dakota unless the tailgate was down, and I had a 6' bed. My Shadow wasn't nearly as long as a fullsize Harley bagger. Should be able to fit a 6.5' bed but only with the tailgate down.
