How big is the bed of a Ford F-150 XLT?
The bed length varies by cab and model year, with three common options: 5.5 ft, 6.5 ft, and 8 ft.
In practice, the XLT trim can be ordered with different bed lengths depending on whether you choose a Regular Cab or a SuperCrew (four-door) configuration, and which model year you’re looking at. The following outlines typical options and how they relate to cab setup.
Bed Length Options
The following lengths are the standard bed options you’ll encounter on F-150 XLT builds. The exact availability depends on the year and cab style.
- 5.5-foot bed (66 inches, about 168 cm)
- 6.5-foot bed (78 inches, about 198 cm)
- 8-foot bed (96 inches, about 244 cm)
Note: Availability of each length varies by model year, cab style, and regional market. Always verify on Ford's official build tool for the year you’re considering.
Availability by Cab Configuration
Which bed lengths you can order with the XLT depends on the cab configuration. Here’s how it typically breaks down for recent generations:
- Regular Cab: commonly offers the 8-foot bed, and may also be paired with a 6.5-foot bed in some years.
- SuperCrew (four-door): typically offers 5.5-foot or 6.5-foot beds; the 8-foot bed is usually not available with this cab style.
To confirm the exact combinations for a given year and region, consult Ford’s Build & Price tool or a local dealer’s configuration options.
Summary
For Ford F-150 XLT models, bed size is not fixed and depends on the chosen cab configuration and model year. The three core bed lengths are 5.5 ft (66 in), 6.5 ft (78 in), and 8 ft (96 in). Regular Cab tends to pair with the longer 8 ft bed, while SuperCrew configurations more commonly offer 5.5 ft or 6.5 ft. Always verify current options with Ford’s official tools or a dealership before purchasing.
