Bed lengths and footprint


To understand the footprint of the Silverado 1500, it helps to know the available bed lengths and how they translate to feet.



  • 5'8" bed (68 inches) — about 5.67 feet

  • 8'0" bed (96 inches) — exactly 8.00 feet


The bed length you choose affects not only cargo space but also the truck’s overall length and how it handles on the road. Shorter beds yield a more maneuverable footprint, while longer beds maximize cargo capacity.


Overall length: how long is a Silverado 1500?


Because the Silverado 1500 comes in multiple cab configurations—Regular, Double, and Crew—and pairs them with different beds, the total length varies.

For the most precise measurement, consult the build sheet for a specific model or check Chevrolet’s official specifications for the exact configuration you’re considering.
