How Do I Measure My Truck Bed for a Truck Cap?

Measuring your truck bed for a truck cap is an important step in ensuring that your truck cap fits correctly. An improperly fitted truck cap can cause a variety of issues such as leaking and shifting, and can be difficult to fix or replace.

In order to get the perfect fit, you need to measure your truck bed correctly.

The first step in measuring your truck bed for a truck cap is to identify the exact make and model of your truck. Knowing this information will help you get the right measurements for your specific vehicle. Once you have identified the make and model, you can begin taking measurements.

It’s important to measure both the length and width of your truck bed in order to find the right size cap for your vehicle. You should start by measuring from the outside edge of one side rail to the outside edge of the other side rail. Next, measure from the front edge of the side rail closest to you, to the back edge of the other side rail.

Once you have these two measurements, it’s important to take into account any accessories such as racks or tool boxes that may be installed on or above your bed rails. If these accessories are present, it’s necessary to add their dimensions into your total measurements before purchasing a truck cap.

Conclusion:

Measuring your truck bed for a truck cap is an essential step in getting a perfect fit for your vehicle. Make sure you know exactly what make and model of vehicle you have before taking any measurements, and take into account any accessories that may be present on or above your bed rails before purchasing a new truck cap. With these steps in mind, you will be sure to find a great fitting truck cap that works perfectly with your vehicle!
