How Do I Measure the Size of My Truck Bed?

Measuring the size of your truck bed is an important step in finding out what size camper or other towing accessory you can fit in it. Knowing the measurements of your bed will also help you make sure that you are buying accessories that will fit perfectly. It is important to measure the length, width, and height of your bed so that you can find the perfect fit for whatever accessories you need.

Measuring the Length

The length of your truck bed should be measured from the inside edge of one wheel well to the inside edge of the other wheel well. Make sure that you measure from the center points of each wheel well because this will give you an accurate measurement. Measure from one side to the other and not from bumper to bumper since this does not give an accurate measurement.

Measuring the Width

The width of your truck bed should be measured from one inside wall to another. This should be done on both sides and then added together for an accurate measurement. Make sure that you measure from wall to wall and not just between wheel wells since this will give a more exact measurement.

Measuring the Height

The height of your truck bed should be measured from ground level up to where the top rail meets.

Conclusion:

By following these simple steps, you can easily measure your truck bed and make sure that whatever accessories or campers you buy will fit properly in it. Knowing these measurements will also help ensure that when shopping online, you are able to find accessories or campers that are specifically designed for your truck’s size and specifications.
