At AutoAccessoriesGarage.com we offer a wide variety of Truck Accessories that help you organize your cargo, keep your equipment protected, and shield your truck bed from damage. Many of these products, from Truck Bed Covers to Pickup Truck Toolboxes, are designed to fit particular bed lengths and sizes, so it's essential that you provide us with the correct dimensions to ensure a perfect fit. Follow the simple steps below on how to measure truck beds, and make sure you're getting the right part for your truck.
Know Your Truck Bed Style
The first thing to consider when shopping for truck accessories is what truck style you're driving. Depending on the products you're looking for, this may be an extremely important piece of information. There are four main styles of truck beds and cabs out there:
Once you know what kind of truck you have, the next step is to measure the bed length.
Measure Your Truck Bed Length
Your truck bed length is determined by the distance between the inside of your tailgate and the inside of the bulkhead. When you measure truck bed length you may find that the exact number does not match any lengths listed on our product pages. That's because most truck and accessory companies round off their measurements to the nearest half-foot. So, if your truck bed measures 76", you can go with the product listed for a 6.5-foot bed.
Bed Lengths by Make and Model
So you got out the tape measure and now you have the length of your bed in inches. Now what? Find your truck’s make and model in the guide below and match up your measurement with the advertised length and name of your particular truck bed.
Remember: your tape measure may be at a slight angle which could alter the measurement you end up with. It’s best to think of your measurement as an approximation, and match it up with the nearest bed length. Measurements can also vary from body style to body style.
