What is the bed capacity of the Ford F-150?
The bed capacity of the Ford F-150 depends on the bed length you choose: 5.5-foot, 6.5-foot, or 8-foot. In practical terms, you can expect about 52.8, 62.3, or 77.0 cubic feet of cargo space in the truck bed, respectively.
Bed sizes and cargo capacity
The F-150 is offered with three bed lengths, and each size provides a different cargo volume inside the bed. Here are the approximate bed-volume figures by length:
- 5.5-foot bed: about 52.8 cubic feet of cargo volume
- 6.5-foot bed: about 62.3 cubic feet
- 8-foot bed: about 77.0 cubic feet
These figures can vary slightly by cab configuration (Regular Cab, SuperCab, or SuperCrew) and by model year.
Other considerations
Note that bed capacity is about the space inside the bed itself (cargo volume), while payload capacity refers to how much weight the truck can carry in the bed and in the cab combined. They are related but not the same measure of how much you can haul.
Bed capacity by configuration
Ford publishes cargo volume figures by bed length, so buyers can compare based on their chosen configuration. If you need maximum space for long items, the 8-foot bed is the largest option.
Summary
In summary, the Ford F-150's bed capacity ranges from roughly 52.8 cu ft with a 5.5-foot bed to about 77.0 cu ft with an 8-foot bed. The 6.5-foot bed sits in between at around 62.3 cu ft. Always verify the exact figures for your model year and cab configuration when planning cargo needs.
