How wide is the 2018 Tacoma bed?
The width of the 2018 Toyota Tacoma bed, measured from wheel-to-wheel inside the bed, is about 41.6 inches (106 cm).
In this report, we examine what that measurement covers, how it applies to the two bed lengths offered that year (5-foot and 6-foot), and what it means for cargo planning and accessories.
Bed width basics
The standard yardstick used in specifications is the distance between the wheel housings inside the bed. This figure is what matters most when loading wide items, securing cargo, or designing storage solutions that sit directly in the bed area.
- Width between wheel wells (bed interior): 41.6 inches (106 cm).
That width is fixed across the 2018 Tacoma’s bed configurations, while overall bed length varies by whether you choose the 5-foot or 6-foot bed.
Bed length options and practical implications
For 2018, Toyota offered two bed lengths in the Tacoma: a 5-foot bed and a 6-foot bed. The bed width remains constant across these configurations, which means cargo width constraints are the same regardless of bed length. What changes is how long items can lie within the bed and the total cargo volume available.
Summary
The 2018 Tacoma bed is approximately 41.6 inches wide between the wheel wells. This width is consistent whether you opt for the 5-foot or 6-foot bed, while the overall bed length changes with configuration. Plan cargo width around this measurement for loading and securing items effectively.
