Can a Pickup Truck Fit a Full Size Bed?

A pickup truck is a highly useful and versatile vehicle. It can be used for hauling cargo, towing, or just to get around town.

But one of the most common uses for pickup trucks is transporting large items, such as furniture.

The question arises: can a pickup truck fit a full-size bed? The answer is: it depends.

The size of the bed will determine whether or not it can fit in the truck bed. If the bed is a twin or full size, then it should fit in the truck with no problem — as long as the truck bed is deep enough. However, if you’re trying to transport a king size bed, then you may need to use a trailer or other larger vehicle.

Bed Dimensions

The length of a twin size bed frame is typically 75 inches while a full size frame measures around 80 inches long. A king-sized frame can measure anywhere from 76 to 80 inches wide and 80 to 98 inches long.

Truck Bed Dimensions

Pickup trucks come in different sizes ranging from compact to mid-size and full-size trucks. Compact and mid-size trucks usually have beds that measure between 6-1/2 feet and 8 feet long while full size pickups usually have beds that measure between 8 feet and 8-1/2 feet.

Conclusion

In conclusion, depending on the size of the bed you are trying to transport, it can be possible to fit it into your pickup truck — provided that your truck’s bed is large enough. Twin and full sized beds should generally fit in most standard pick up trucks while larger beds such as king sized mattresses may require an alternative form of transportation.
