All HD Payload packages are long bed and have 7 lug axles(versus 6 for the standard F150) in that model year. Because of this the HD's had a special wheel that the regular trucks did not have so they should be easy to spot a mile a way.
The 2015 and up HD F150's have a 6 lug axle. It is only the 2011-2014 that had a 7 lug.
NOPE. My ‘13 HDPP has a 6’-3” bed and 8200# GVWR. Payload is 2592#
Is it a crew cab? If so, then you have the longest bed in that cab configuration just like I did with my 2012 F150HD.
It may be the longest bed in a crew, but it NOT a long bed. That’s 8’.
The longest bed in a configuration is the long bed.
To go off what goducks posted.
F150 cab/bed configurations
Reg cab: short bed 6.5'/long bed 8' bed
Scab: short bed 6.5'/long bed 8' bed
Super Crew: short bed 5.5'/long bed 6.5 bed.
You have to get the long bed option in what ever cab configuration to choose the HD package. So as I said, an F150HD are always a long bed.
It even states this in the Ford brochure for that year model.
2014 F150 Brochure
"Heavy-Duty Payload Package (Regular Cab and
SuperCab with 8' box and SuperCrew with 6½' box;
restrictions apply) increases GVWR to 8,200 lbs. for
improved payload and towing; 17" 7-lug gray styled
steel wheels; LT245/75R17E BSW all-terrain tires;
heavy-duty shock absorbers; upgraded springs and
radiator; auxiliary transmission oil cooler; rear axle
with 9.75" gear set and 3.73 limited-slip gear ratio"
Now whether you consider a 6.5" bed in a half ton crew cab a long bed is your opinion, but I would wager that many(including the manufacturer) will disagree with you.
