The 2025 Ford F-350 Super Duty is the backbone of Texas work trucks. Whether you’re running cattle, hauling equipment across South Texas, or running a trade fleet, the F-350 gives you the platform — and payload — to justify a serious aftermarket truck bed upgrade. Here’s everything you need to know about truck bed fitment for the 2025 F-350.
2025 F-350 Cab-to-Axle (CA) Measurements
The cab-to-axle measurement is the critical dimension for matching a flatbed or service body to your F-350. Ford offers the F-350 in multiple cab and bed configurations:
- Regular Cab, Long Bed: CA ≈ 84″
- SuperCab, Short Bed: CA ≈ 56″
- SuperCab, Long Bed: CA ≈ 72″
- Crew Cab, Short Bed: CA ≈ 56″
- Crew Cab, Long Bed: CA ≈ 72″
Most aftermarket manufacturers build beds in 7’4″, 7’6″, 8’4″, and 9’4″ lengths to match these CA dimensions. Always confirm your actual measurement before ordering — chassis numbers can vary slightly between production years.
SRW vs DRW: The Most Important F-350 Decision
Unlike the F-250, the F-350 comes in both Single Rear Wheel (SRW) and Dual Rear Wheel (DRW/Dually) configurations. This choice significantly affects your truck bed options:
- SRW F-350: Standard bed width (typically 96″–97″ overall). Compatible with the widest range of aftermarket beds. Good for gooseneck towing, lighter loads, and single-truck operators.
- DRW (Dually) F-350: Wider rear stance (~96″ track width). Requires DRW-specific flatbed width, usually 96″+ to clear the rear fenders. Provides higher payload capacity — rated up to ~7,850 lbs payload on the DRW diesel. Essential for heavy gooseneck loads over 20,000 lbs.
If you’re hauling large flatbed trailers, livestock, or heavy equipment, the DRW F-350 with a matching flatbed is the right call. For general ranch work or lighter utility use, SRW is easier to live with daily.
Top Flatbed Brands for the 2025 F-350
These brands all build beds specifically sized for F-350 SRW and DRW configurations:
Bedrock Granite 9G
The Bedrock Granite 9G Series is built from 3/16″ A36 steel and is one of the most popular flatbeds we install at Star Truck Equipment. Available in SRW and DRW widths, lengths from 7’4″ to 9’4″. The full-length crossmember design handles gooseneck towing loads without flex. This is the flatbed for operators who need maximum durability and don’t want to baby it.
CM RD and SK Series
CM Truck Beds’ RD Series is a flat-deck workhorse available in SRW and DRW sizes for the F-350. The SK Series adds front toolboxes and headache rack for trades. CM beds are available in 7’4″, 8’4″, and 9’4″ to match F-350 CA dimensions. If you want a reliable, mid-price flatbed that fits perfectly — CM is your answer.
Norstar SD and ST Series
Norstar builds both a standard flat deck (SD) and a stake-side (ST) flatbed. The SD is a Texas ranch staple. Norstar beds are American-made in Texas and sized for both SRW and DRW F-350 configurations. Great choice if you want to keep things local.
Bradford Built Flatbeds
Bradford Built offers premium workover and flatbed designs for the F-350, including options with integrated toolboxes, underbody storage, and headache racks. A solid choice for contractors who need more than a bare flat deck.
Service Body Options for the F-350
The F-350’s higher GVWR (up to 14,000 lbs on cab & chassis models) makes it an excellent service body platform. You can run a full steel service body without maxing out payload. Options we carry at Star Truck Equipment:
- RKI Aluminum Service Bodies — Ideal for tradespeople who want organized compartments without excessive bed weight
- CM Service Bodies — Steel service body with lockable compartments, built to F-350 CA dimensions
- STI Service Bodies — For fleet buyers and heavy-duty field service applications
Gooseneck Towing with Aftermarket Flatbed
The 2025 F-350 DRW with the 6.7L Power Stroke diesel is rated to tow up to 21,200 lbs on a gooseneck (conventional) and over 32,500 lbs on 5th wheel with integrated hitch. A properly mounted flatbed with gooseneck ball installed through the bed is the standard setup for Texas haulers. Make sure your installer torques the ball mount to spec and uses the OEM-recommended hitch receiver or fifth-wheel prep.
