How long is a Chevy Crew Cab box?
The bed on a Chevy Silverado Crew Cab is typically available in two lengths: a short box of about 5 ft 8 in and a standard box of about 6 ft 7 in. An 8 ft long box is not offered with the Crew Cab in the current lineup.
To understand the question in context, it helps to know that “Crew Cab” refers to the four-door configuration of the Silverado 1500. The available bed length depends on model year and trim, with Chevy generally offering two primary options for Crew Cab configurations and reserving the longest box for other cabs in most recent generations. The following details summarize what you’re most likely to encounter when shopping today.
Bed lengths available on the Silverado Crew Cab
Before listing the lengths, note that the current lineup typically pairs the Crew Cab with two bed lengths. Here are the standard options you’ll encounter when configuring a new Crew Cab Silverado:
- Short Box (Crew Cab): 5 ft 8 in (approximately 68 inches)
- Standard Box (Crew Cab): 6 ft 7 in (approximately 79 inches)
Note: In the current model year lineup, an 8 ft long bed is not offered with the Crew Cab configuration. The 8 ft bed has historically appeared on other cab configurations in some years, but is not a typical option for the Crew Cab today. Always confirm the exact bed length for a specific model year and trim with a dealer or Chevrolet’s official configurator.
Practical considerations
If you regularly haul long items, the 6 ft 7 in standard box provides a larger cargo deck than the short box, while the short box offers greater maneuverability and easier parking. The choice between short and standard bed often comes down to payload, towing, and parking constraints rather than a single “best” length.
Summary
For a Chevy Silverado Crew Cab, the common bed lengths are a short box of about 5 ft 8 in and a standard box of about 6 ft 7 in. The 8 ft long box is not typically available with the Crew Cab in current models, so buyers needing the longest bed should verify exact options by model year and trim with a dealer.
