My dealer confirmed that I can now order a 157" with BAP. Unfortunately I would want marsh gray and that is available only in the chrome package unless I want an STX or Tremor, both 145".
I don't like clutter in my truck so all that goes in there is a pair of gloves and a stocking hat during the cold months (don't rattle). Otherwise that is where I put my garbage while on the road, gets emptied when arriving at home, gas station for a fill, or as I see a garbage can to empty it...
Wish the marsh gray was available in a BAP. They put it on the Bronco's with the black package and it looks really sharp! At least they are offering the BAP in the 157" Lariat. I think I will still keep my

My last 3 F150's were crew cab w/6.5' bed. I may keep my '21 longer than I have on the past trucks because I can't get a crew cab w/6.5' bed in an XLT or Lariat without the chrome package anymore :sadface:
First car was a Dodge, tired a Ford, then a couple Chevys, and then been in Ford's since!

After having to have the General Grabber HTS tires replaced on our new '24 Expedition right off the lot, I would not look at Generals again! This wasn't my first bad experience with General's either!
Every time I am at my dealer or see the GM around town, he wants my truck. I tell him no every time.
He knows that I can't get the same truck anymore. I wouldn't mind upgrading to a Lariat, but you cannot get a 6.5' bed in an XLT or Lariat with the sport or black package and I don't need a...
I noticed that is where my dealer is installing the ones they are putting on. It doesn't look as bad as it does on the door. But, why did they need to make it so darn big?!
I sure have seen a drop off in 6.5' bed trucks since they deciced not to offer any trim below a Platinum with anything but a chrome package!
Pretty sad I think!! Come on Ford!
Still loving mine as well. My '21 is just over 3 years old and 31K. With not being able to get a 6.5' bed in anything other than a chrome pkg below a Platinum, I will be keeping it for a few more years yet!
