What are the dimensions of a Toyota Tacoma truck bed?
The Toyota Tacoma is offered with two bed lengths: a 5-foot short bed and a 6-foot long bed.
These bed sizes determine cargo capacity and load-in height, and interior bed dimensions are broadly consistent across recent model years, with small year-to-year variations and slight differences by trim. The following breakdown covers the two bed sizes and their approximate interior dimensions.
Two bed lengths available
Note that bed availability can vary by model year and trim. The list below outlines the typical measurements you would encounter for each bed option.
Below is a quick breakdown of the two bed sizes, including their internal dimensions and typical uses.
- 5-foot short bed — approximately 60.0 inches long, about 41.6 inches wide inside the bed, and roughly 19.0 inches deep. This size is ideal for city driving and shorter payloads.
- 6-foot long bed — approximately 72.6–73.0 inches long, about 41.6 inches wide inside the bed, and roughly 18.9–19.0 inches deep. This size provides more cargo space for longer items.
The main trade-off is between cargo capacity and maneuverability in tight spaces; choose the bed length that best matches your typical loads and parking scenarios.
Internal cargo dimensions by bed size
For planning purposes, here are the approximate internal cargo dimensions you can expect for each bed length. Exact numbers can vary slightly by year and bed design, so verify for your specific vehicle.
- 5-foot bed (60.0 in) — internal length about 60.0 in; width between side walls about 41.6 in; depth around 19.0 in.
- 6-foot bed (72.6 in) — internal length about 72.6 in; width between side walls about 41.6 in; depth around 18.9–19.0 in.
These figures are intended for general planning and comparison. For precise measurements, consult Toyota’s official specifications for the exact model year and trim you’re considering, or measure the bed on the vehicle itself.
Other notes about bed dimensions
Beyond length, usable width can be affected by wheel wells and installed bed features such as tie-downs. The Tacoma’s cargo bed width is typically around 41.6 inches between the inner walls, with some narrowing near the wheel wells. Tailgate access and load height are also influenced by the bed design and any tailgate options chosen. Always verify year- and trim-specific data for exact figures.
Summary
In short, the Toyota Tacoma offers two bed lengths: a 5-foot short bed and a 6-foot long bed. Internal cargo dimensions are roughly 60.0 x 41.6 x 19.0 inches for the short bed and 72.6 x 41.6 x 18.9–19.0 inches for the long bed, with slight year-to-year variations. When planning purchases or loads, check the exact specifications for your model year and trim to ensure accuracy.
