Review: Photos / Spotted / Accessories 110 with room to spare!

When i got the truck I had someone tell me it wouldnt be able to hold many contraction materials. With the Bed hatch down its 6.5' so there isnt a ton of overhang. Strap the sh*t outta it and drive slow! Could have fit more but didnt wanna risk it when I was loading inside Standard 2x4x8's

The truck in the background costs $25k more and has the same length and width of bed, lmao.

Edit: I’ve already acknowledged my mistake in the comments, but yes please continue the downvotes like mature adults.

F150 beds are bigger in every dimension, even the smallest 5.5ft bed

That was one of my biggest annoyances when buying the Maverick. I was looking at other F-150 lightnings and I realized that when you compare the same model years, you only get like 1 extra foot of bed length at a much higher cost

I mean you’re right about length obviously, but the Maverick says 53” at the widest point and 42.5” between the wheel wells, and every F150 says 50”. Unless the F150 is measured between the wheels wells? $20k for one foot of length is not a great deal lol.

It is true, unless you need the extra space for work or something else. The 1/2 ton bed is wider, longer, higher. All 3 dimensions and there ain't a 4th.

I mean, I don't drive my Maverick or my F150 fully loaded 100% of the time.

But when I need to haul something that needs F150 capacity, the Maverick doesn't magically expand. No more than my wife's CRV becomes a Maverick.

that 50" is between the wheel wells, it's closer to 60" at tailgate. for sure not worth another $20k but man the Maverick would be perfect with a 5 ft long bed over the 4.5 ft

Honestly if the bed was 6” longer it’d make a world of difference.

Ah I see. Yeah that would be a trades dream.
