If you follow the link in my previous comment, you'll see that both the F-250 and the F-350 have an 8 ft./2.44 m bed and an overall length of 211.3"/5.37 m. The only difference lays in fact in the wheelbases: 133"/3.38 m (F-250) vs. 140"/3.56 m (F-350). If I'm not mistaken, this implies that the rear overhang is shorter / the distance between the cab and the rear wheel arch is longer on the F-350... -- Last edit: 2016-05-06 02:11:23
