Does a Full Cord of Wood Fit in a Pickup Truck?

A cord of wood is a standard unit of measurement for firewood, which is traditionally defined as a stack 4 feet tall, 8 feet long and 4 feet deep. This amount of wood typically weighs between 2,000 and 3,000 pounds, making it difficult to transport on your own. Many people are unsure if they can fit a full cord of firewood in their pickup truck.

The answer to this question is that it depends on the size and model of the truck you have. If you have a full-size pickup truck with an extended cab and an 8-foot bed, then you might be able to squeeze in an entire cord of wood. However, if you have a smaller pickup truck with a 6-foot bed or less, then it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to fit an entire cord in the bed.

In addition to the size of your truck, there are other factors that come into play when trying to fit a full cord of wood into your pickup. The type of wood and how it’s cut matters too.

If the firewood has been split into smaller pieces or stacked in a certain way so that it takes up less space, then you may be able to fit more into your truck. Additionally, if you own multiple vehicles then you could use them to transport the wood instead.

Conclusion:

Overall, it is possible to fit a full cord of firewood in a pickup truck depending on its size and model as well as how the wood is cut and stored. However, if you have limited space or multiple vehicles available then using them together may make it easier to transport the wood.
