Lasco Ford - Which 2026 Ford F-150® Cab and Bed Configuration Fits Your Work and Weekends near Brighton, MI?
Choosing the right 2026 Ford F-150® configuration comes down to how you live and work around Livingston County. From towing a camper up I-96 to loading supplies for projects in Brighton, the cab and bed pairing you select will shape daily convenience, weekend capabilities, and long-term satisfaction. At Lasco Ford, we help shoppers zero in on the best fit by aligning passenger needs, cargo space, and trailering targets with Ford’s broad lineup and advanced features.
For 2026, F-150 offers three cab styles — Regular Cab, SuperCab®, and SuperCrew® — and multiple bed lengths. Regular Cab pairs with a 6.5' or 8.0' bed, SuperCab® comes standard with a 6.5' bed, and SuperCrew® is available with a 5.5' or 6.5' bed. F-150 Raptor® models feature a 5.5' bed. Whether you need maximum bed floor for materials, full-size rear seating for family and crew, or the shortest overall length for garage fit near Brighton, we can match the layout to your priorities. Powertrains range from the 2.7L EcoBoost® V6 to the 5.0L Ti-VCT V8, the 3.5L EcoBoost® V6, and the 3.5L PowerBoost® Full Hybrid V6 — all backed by a chassis engineered for a max available 13,500 lbs of towing and up to 2,440 lbs of payload when properly configured.
Start with how you’ll use your truck most days, then layer in the trips and jobs you know are coming this year. The guide below highlights the key questions we walk through with in-market shoppers in our showroom.
- Passengers first: If adults ride in back regularly, SuperCrew® provides the most legroom and easiest car-seat access; SuperCab® suits occasional rear riders with rear-hinged doors.
- Garage and parking: Check overall length for tight Brighton driveways; 5.5' beds with SuperCrew® help reduce overhang without sacrificing cab space.
- Bed volume vs. bed length: Long items like lumber or sleds benefit from 6.5' or 8.0' beds; frequent mixed cargo can favor a 5.5' bed plus interior rear-seat storage.
- Towing targets: Heavier trailers often pair best with SuperCrew® 4x4 and the 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 or 3.5L PowerBoost® Full Hybrid V6 — both deliver substantial torque.
- Terrain and access: Off-road or jobsite use favors 4x4, available FX4®-type off-road hardware, and features like Pro Access Tailgate for tight trailered hookups.
- Power and efficiency: The 3.5L PowerBoost® Full Hybrid V6 blends capability with available Pro Power Onboard™ — a worksite and campground advantage.
Once your priorities are clear, you can make a confident, step-by-step selection. Here is a simple path our team uses during test-drive visits.
- Measure your space: Confirm garage depth, door clearance, and regular parking angles along Grand River or downtown Brighton.
- Define your trailer: Note loaded trailer weight, tongue weight, and hitch height so we align you with the right axle ratio and Tow/Haul setup.
- Choose your cab: Pick Regular Cab for maximum bed, SuperCab® for versatility, or SuperCrew® for daily comfort and full-size rear seating.
- Select your bed: Go 5.5' for maneuverability, 6.5' for balance, or 8.0' for maximum floor length on Regular Cab where available.
- Match your powertrain: Consider 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 for best-in-class max available towing, 5.0L V8 for traditional muscle, or PowerBoost® hybrid for torque plus onboard power.
- Add capability tech: Build in 360-Degree Camera, Ford Co-Pilot360®, available BlueCruise hands-free highway driving, and Pro Power Onboard™ for jobsite tools.
Cab and bed choices become even more useful with the right bed features. The available Pro Access Tailgate swings out up to 100 degrees to help you step 19 inches closer to your gear — especially handy when you are hitched to a boat at Brighton Recreation Area. Add bed lighting for pre-dawn launches, cargo management for cooler tie-downs, and the available Pro Power Onboard™ outlets to keep saws, inflators, or campsite gear powered without a separate generator.
To speed up your search, here are quick-fit use cases that reflect how our Brighton-area customers use F-150. If one sounds like you, we can tailor the build during your visit.
- Family first, daily commuting: SuperCrew® with 5.5' bed for easy parking, available 3.5L PowerBoost® Full Hybrid V6 for smooth torque and available Pro Power Onboard™.
- Contractor hauling materials: Regular Cab with 8.0' bed for maximum floor length, available 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 or 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 for confident payload and towing.
- Weekend towing to the lakes: SuperCrew® 6.5' bed with 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 or 3.5L PowerBoost® Full Hybrid V6, Tow/Haul features, and a 360-Degree Camera for hitching.
- Trail and dunes enthusiast: F-150 Raptor® with 5.5' bed, long-travel suspension, and available Dual-Valve Fox™ Racing Shocks for high-speed off-road control.
Every 2026 F-150 is engineered to work harder and smarter with available features like an Interior Work Surface, lockable under-seat storage, and versatile flip-up rear seats, so even a shorter bed can move big weekends. Pair that interior flexibility with bed choice, and you get a truck that fits your life today and grows with your plans tomorrow.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Which cab style has the most rear-seat space for child seats?
SuperCrew® offers the most rear legroom and the easiest full-size door access, making it the best choice if rear passengers ride often or you frequently install child seats.
Will a SuperCrew® with a 6.5' bed fit in a typical suburban garage near Brighton?
Garage depth varies, so measuring is essential. Many Brighton-area garages accommodate a SuperCrew® with a 5.5' bed more easily. If you need a 6.5' bed, confirm clearance for the closed garage door and walkway space in front of the truck.
Which engines pair well with heavier towing on local highways like US-23?
The 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 and the 3.5L PowerBoost® Full Hybrid V6 are proven choices for higher trailer weights thanks to robust torque. When properly equipped, the F-150 achieves a max available 13,500 lbs of towing, and our team will help you match configuration and equipment to your trailer.
