How long is a long bed F-150?
The long bed Ford F-150 measures 8 feet long (96 inches). It is the longest bed option Ford offers and is typically paired with certain cab configurations. Availability varies by model year and trim.
Bed lengths offered by the F-150
The F-150 is built with three bed lengths to suit different needs. The overall bed lengths are as follows:
- 5.5 feet (67.1 inches / 170.3 cm)
- 6.5 feet (78.7 inches / 199.8 cm)
- 8 feet (96 inches / 243.8 cm) — the long bed
The 8-foot bed is the longest option and is not always available with every cab type. In recent years, it has been offered with Regular Cab and extended cab configurations, but is generally not paired with the crew cab.
Which configurations can get the 8-foot bed?
If you’re specifically seeking the 8-foot bed, here’s a quick guide to typical availability by cab configuration in contemporary model years:
- Regular Cab (two doors) — commonly available with the 8-foot bed
- Extended Cab / SuperCab — commonly available with the 8-foot bed
- Crew Cab / SuperCrew — usually not available with the 8-foot bed
For buyers focusing on cargo length, the long bed offers several advantages for hauling long items, but it can reduce rear-seat space and impact overall vehicle length and maneuverability. Always verify current options with a dealer for the exact model year you’re considering.
Practical considerations
Beyond length, potential buyers should weigh payload capacity, trailer-towing requirements, turning radius, and fuel economy. The longest bed option tends to be paired with configurations prioritizing cargo space over passenger room, so confirm both bed length and cab type when shopping.
Summary: The F-150’s longest bed is 8 feet (96 inches). It’s available with Regular Cab and extended cab configurations, but not typically with the Crew Cab, reflecting a trade-off between cargo capacity and passenger space.
