Does the Chevy Colorado come with a 6 foot bed?
Yes — the Chevy Colorado is available with a 6-foot bed on select cab configurations and model years, though not every trim or body style includes the longer bed. This article explains how bed lengths are configured and what to expect when shopping for a Colorado.
Bed length options in the current generation
The latest Colorado, introduced for 2023 and continuing into 2024–2025, is offered with two bed lengths: 5-foot and 6-foot. Availability depends on the chosen cab style and trim level.
- 5-foot bed (approximately 60 inches): Common with Crew Cab configurations on several trims, offering easier maneuverability and parking in tighter spaces.
- 6-foot bed (approximately 72 inches): Typically available with Crew Cab on higher trims and in some configurations, providing extra cargo space behind the cab.
Note: Not every trim or market will offer every bed/cab combination. Confirm the exact configuration with a dealer or by checking Chevrolet’s official build options for the model year you’re considering.
Model-year nuances
Across generations, Chevrolet has offered two bed lengths for the Colorado, but the availability of the 6-foot bed has varied by year and region. The current generation continues to provide both lengths, while earlier versions used different cab/bed pairings depending on market.
- 2015–2022 Colorado: Two bed lengths (5' and 6') were available, with specific cab and trim pairings changing by year and region.
- 2023–present Colorado: Two bed lengths offered; the 6' bed is commonly associated with Crew Cab on select trims. Always verify the exact configuration on the build sheet for a given vehicle.
If you need a six-foot bed, it’s important to confirm the exact cab/bed pairing for the specific model year and trim you’re considering with the dealer.
What to check when shopping
To ensure you get the right Colorado with a 6-foot bed, keep these considerations in mind:
- Bear in mind the cab style you want (Crew Cab versus other cab configurations) and whether that combination is offered with a 6-foot bed for the year you’re shopping.
- Check payload and cargo specs, as bed length can influence rear cargo space and overall utility.
- Regional availability and model-year differences can affect whether a 6-foot bed is an option for your preferred configuration.
Always verify the exact configuration on the dealer’s build sheet or Chevrolet’s official configuration tool for the specific vehicle you’re considering.
Summary
The Chevy Colorado can be ordered with a 6-foot bed, but this option is not universal across all cab styles or trims. If a six-foot bed is important, confirm the exact bed length for your chosen model year and configuration with a dealer, and review the official build options to avoid surprises at delivery.
