One of the comments in Autoblog stated that the Border Patrol apparently is interested in many 4 Door Raptors for off road police cruising. I'd love to see one in the Tijuana San Diego border region

I'm sticking with the Supercab and technically its a 4 door. But I would not want the extra wheelbase length in the crew cab. And I've sat in the back seat of teh current Raptor and it fits me.

Torquesess is nice.

Rumors on the Raptor forums is the 400hp 6.2l is underrated at those numbers. Though its probably all just wishful thinking.

With that camo it looks like a Expedition - now you can take the whole family off-roading!

If I looked at the specs correctly the Supercab will have a 0.3 inch longer wheelbase than the Supercrew, yet will be 10.7 inches longer this is using the standard F-150 specs as a reference.

Both the Supercab & Supercrew will have the 5.5 foot box, I figured the Supercab had the 6.5 box and the Supercrew would get the 5.5 box.

Seems odd to me. But I guess it's in the sport of on off road truck built for trails.

Super Cab is .3 inch linger wheelbase, and the Super Crew is 10.8 inches longer overall. That's if the both have the 5.5' box.

I've got the 5.5' box now. I wanted the 6.5' when I bought this one but they didn't have any around.

I guess the Super Crew just hangs 10" more off the back wheels.

Yeah I'm very confused on how its gonna play out, I was surprised the Supercab had the 5.5 box. The Raptor is the only Supercab to offer it.

Nice! Can see what my 09 F150 SuperCrew might turn into in a few years.

That is a great truck for those of us who have kids!

Ford used to offer a 5.5' box in Supercabs a few years back, but the take rate was so low, they dropped it from the 2009, and made it only for the Raptor.

it's a good choice for the Raptor, you want a shorter length and wheelbase when offroading...for a normal use truck, you want atleast 6 feet
