What size bed does a Ford F-150 have?

The Ford F-150 offers three bed lengths: 5.5 feet, 6.5 feet, and 8 feet. Availability depends on the cab style and model year.

Bed length choices vary by cab configuration (Regular Cab, SuperCab, or SuperCrew) and year. This article breaks down the standard lengths, how they pair with different cabs, and tips for selecting the right size for your needs.

Bed Length Options

Here are the three common bed lengths used on recent F-150 models, shown in both feet and inches for clarity:

• 5.5 ft bed — 66 inches


• 6.5 ft bed — 78 inches


• 8 ft bed — 96 inches

Note: The availability of each length varies by cab configuration and model year. Some cabs may not offer the 8 ft bed in certain generations or trims.

Cab Configurations and Year Variations

In recent Ford F-150 generations, the 8 ft bed has typically appeared with Regular Cab or SuperCab configurations, while the crew cab (SuperCrew) most often offers the 5.5 ft and 6.5 ft beds. Exact availability is year-, trim-, and market-dependent; always verify with Ford’s official configurator or a dealer for your specific build.

Choosing the Right Bed for Your Needs

Choosing a bed length comes down to how you plan to use the truck. A longer bed (6.5 ft or 8 ft) provides more cargo space for long items but can affect maneuverability and payload capacity in some configurations. A shorter bed (5.5 ft) offers easier parking, a tighter turning radius, and sometimes better payload characteristics, depending on the exact configuration.

Model-Year Snapshot

For readers shopping across recent years, the F-150’s bed options have generally included 5.5 ft, 6.5 ft, and 8 ft beds. The 8 ft bed is less commonly paired with crew cab bodies in newer models, while the 5.5 ft and 6.5 ft lengths remain widely available across cabs. Always check the current model year’s specifications to confirm which bed lengths are offered with your chosen cab and trim.

Summary

The Ford F-150 is offered with three bed lengths—5.5 ft, 6.5 ft, and 8 ft—though exact availability depends on cab type and model year. Prospective buyers should consult Ford’s build-and-price tool or a local dealer to confirm which bed lengths are available for their preferred cab configuration and trim in their region. This ensures you get the bed size that matches your hauling needs and daily driving habits.
