Garage size is the reason the local Ford dealer does not have a F150 crew cab with 6.5 ft bed.
My parents found one at their local dealer. Only one. Thankfully it had everything they wanted (XLT, technology package, locking rear differential, 2 wheel drive, etc.). They got the dealer to throw in the integrated brake controller and have been happy.
Well, that's not entirely true. My mom cursed me for talking dad into it for about the first month as she learned to park it. That extra two feet makes a difference. . . much easier to back in to most spots.
Interestingly, when I bought my 2500HD truck, the main reason I did it was to keep a full size bed and have a crew cab. If Ford had been offering that configuration back then (or if I'd known about it), I might have shocked the world and bought a blue oval.
They're basically the same length, so I think the crew cab 6.5" bed would fit in my garage (just barely).
The best OP can do is use the measurements to get it close and then test drive it to the house to verify before purchasing.
If that's not possible, DW is known to cutout dimensions of things like that in cardboard or butcher paper so we can see how it'd fit.
