The Ford F-150 bed dimensions involve three lengths: a 5.5-foot, 6.5-foot, and 8-foot bed. These options give you plenty of customizability, letting you combine, for example, a SuperCrew Cab with the 5.5-foot short bed for a more family-oriented configuration or a Regular Cab and the 8-foot long bed for a full work truck package. Below, we cover the Ford F-150 truck bed dimensions and how they can fit your needs. See the specs, then experience the F-150 by visiting Lake Keowee Ford for a test drive.
As current pickup pros know, the "5.5-foot," "6.5-foot," and "8-foot" designations refer to the bed's length; Ford F-150 bed width and height measurements are the same between the three options, so knowing how long of a bed you need is the main factor to consider.
This is the Ford F-150 short bed; it pairs with only the SuperCrew Cab, as that cab option is the longest one available. A short bed helps this family-friendly configuration stay maneuverable, all while offering enough cargo room for most furniture or tool-hauling needs.
Fit 52.8 cubic feet of cargo within the bed walls (as much storage as a typical small SUV's interior can offer) in all configurations. If you choose a model with the 5.0-liter V-8 engine, you can carry up to 2,225 pounds1 of payload in this Ford F-150 bed option.
Beyond having the most versatile Ford F-150 truck bed dimensions, choosing this middle option is necessary if you want the highest Ford F-150 towing capacity: An F-150 SuperCrew with a 6.5-foot bed, 4WD, and 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 can tow up to 13,500 pounds.2
All drivers will be well served by these Ford F-150 bed dimensions, as they balance the higher capacity of longer beds with the maneuverability-preserving nature of the short bed. It's the only bed option available on all three cab styles; it offers 62.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity and achieves a maximum payload rating of 2,195 pounds.1
This is the Ford F-150 long bed, and it only pairs with the shorter two-door Regular Cab option. The goal of this bed is to create a more work-oriented truck, so it's also only available on the jobsite-focused XL trim. As such, it is responsible for offering the highest Ford F-150 payload capacity: a maximum of 2,440 pounds.1
It also boasts 77.4 cubic feet of cargo room between its walls, combining with that impressive payload capability to bring you near-endless hauling possibilities. For more info on the F-150 XL and its 8-foot bed, check out our Ford F-150 review.

There are three Ford F-150 truck bed size options: a 5.5-foot, 6.5-foot, or 8-foot bed. All three measure 50.6 inches wide (between wheelhouses) and 21.4 inches deep, but availability can vary by cab. For example, the 8-foot bed only pairs with the Regular Cab, and the 5.5-foot bed is only offered with the SuperCrew Cab.
Generally speaking, yes. A full-size mattress measures 75 inches long by 54 inches wide; the F-150 truck's 6.5-foot and 8-foot beds both are long enough, but they measure 50.6 inches wide between wheelhouses, so be sure to strap the mattress down properly since it will likely have to overhang the bed walls. For help with load-securing procedures, contact our truck experts.
An F-150 truck will fit in most parking garages. The F-150 measures around 75 inches tall in most configurations, with the F-150 Raptor being the tallest at 79.8 inches in height. Meanwhile, most parking garages have around 78 to 84 inches of overhead clearance. The truck's body measures around 80 inches wide without mirrors, which is also capable of fitting in most parking spaces.
