Versatile Bed: Pickup Box Style and Wheelbase
To give you an idea of what the SuperCab vs. SuperCrew offer in popular Ford trucks, we'll be using the 2020 Ford F-150 as an example.
The F-150 can come in both configurations, so how do you decide which one to choose? Well, the choice of SuperCrew vs. SuperCab will come down to specifications, such as the pickup box style and the wheelbase.
We'll start with the pickup box style. For the SuperCab, you can select between three key box styles: 5.5-foot box, 6.5-foot box, and 8-foot box. As for the SuperCrew, both the 5.5-foot box and 6.5-foot box are available.
The wheelbase, which is the distance between the front and rear axles, will shift depending on the configuration you choose. For the SuperCab, the wheelbase will either be 134.2 inches, 145 inches, or 163.7 inches based on the pickup box style. Conversely, the wheelbase for the SuperCrew ranges from either 145 inches, 146 inches, or 156.8 inches.
Ready for Adventure: Ground Clearance & Angles of Approach & Departure
If you often venture onto off-road trails, you'll be interested in the ground clearance, approach angle, and departure angle of your F-150.
If you choose the SuperCab, you'll have an angle of approach that ranges from 24.4 degrees to 30.2 degrees. As for the angle of departure, it ranges from 23.1 degrees to 26.1 degrees. To help traverse bumpy terrain, the ground clearance can be anywhere from 8.7 inches to 11.5 inches.
As you move to the SuperCrew, the angle of approach goes from 23.8 degrees to 30.2 degrees. The angle of departure can be from 23 degrees to 26.4 degrees. Last but not least, the ground clearance can be from 8.4 inches to 11.5 inches.
Strong & Commanding: SuperCrew vs SuperCab Length
