Yeah I don't think that Ford even makes a 2-seater anymore in anything other than their XL/fleet model. You can buy the "extended cab" in the XLT (the base trim sold to consumers), which is the 2 seater with a small bench in the back, but even those are really hard to find, you don't see them often.

But after you get above the base model, the only thing available is "crew cabs" which is the full 4-seat SUV size interior.

Really trucks have become 4 seat vehicles now. The super-crew (4 seat) cabs are essentially standard at dealerships. The only way to get a 2 seater truck is by buying one through a fleet program. And right now that would be essentially impossible. Trucks are hard to get right now and most dealerships won't sell a fleet vehicle to a consumer because the demand for fleet trucks is too high right now.

Looking at ford.com, I could order an F-150 with regular cab (2 door) and 8 ft bed for $30K.

Looking at Dodge, the 1500 doesn't seem to have an 8ft bed option, but I could order a 2500 with regular cab and 8ft bed for $36K.

To get a 1500 with an 8ft bed, you have to get the "1500 Classic" -- they're halfway through a refresh, splitting it across multiple model years and starting with the crew cab + small bed.
