Long bed if you are towing and hauling the majority of the time. Most people don't use there truck just for hauling and towing. The short bed is MUCH easier to park and such. As far as ride, there is no discernable difference. I was in a real quandry regarding the two. After driving both, and knowing it would be for general all around transportation, not just towing, I ended up with the short bed.
And price. Sticker was around 62K and I purchased it for 53K. I felt I got a good deal. You hear of all sorts of $$$ out there, but when it came down to it this seemed to be what the more realistic discounted prices were.

Cant find any long beds that are comparably equipped . I notice on this one it has an option call "upfitter switches" and also this is the only one I have found that has dual alternators. Can anyone shed some light on both of these items and why they benefit the truck?
Update: Sales called me today , with the x-plan price.
Sticker 58,740.00
Previously quoted 50,490.00
x-plan 48,567.00
That seems to be a pretty good deal from others I have found local.

The "upfitter switches" are dash mounted switches that are pre-wired for any accessories you add yourself. The dual alternators aren't warranted in my case because I don't use high draw accessories. IMO....... If you have a large inverter, stereo or anything that draws heavy amps on a continuous basis, it may be worth it.

What was your window sticker $ ? . The deal I am looking at does noit have the Nav or sunroof. Not a big deal as I use my Garmin. The sunroof would be nice I guess but not a deal breaker. The 2011 models are getting slim pickings.

A couple of things I did to lower the price some more, I'm a member of AQHA( American quarter horse association) $500 off after your best deal and took the financing from ford and got another $1000 off bottom line ended up about where you are with mine

I'll find the sticker and let you know. The nav and sunroof didn't matter to me either. They had 8 trucks left half 2x4,left 4 to pick from. 2 long beds , one copper color. I got white with tan trim.
Nav has the back up cam, which is great if you tow a lot.

This one has the backup cam but it pops up in the rear view mirror. Has the green, yellow ,red zones and the warning chime. Cool feature, never had one before. Looks like it will help when backing up to the hitch but dont see how it would help once your trailer is connected.
