How Many Inches Is the Back of a Pickup Truck?

Pickup trucks are the go-to vehicles for many people looking to transport large items. As such, they need to be able to fit a lot of cargo in the back. The amount of space available in the back of a pickup truck is determined by the size of the bed, which varies depending on the model and year.

The size of a pickup truck’s bed is typically measured in feet and inches. The most common sizes are 6.5 feet, 5.5 feet, and 4.5 feet.

Generally speaking, a 6-foot bed will be about 72 inches wide (6 x 12) and about 20 inches deep (not including any wheel wells). A 5-foot bed will be about 60 inches wide (5 x 12) and 17 inches deep, while a 4-foot bed will be 48 inches wide (4 x 12) and 14 inches deep.

The back of a pickup truck can also vary in height depending on the model and year. Most models have an average height of about 18 to 24 inches from the top of the bed to the top edge of the tailgate. However, some models may have higher or lower beds.

In conclusion, how many inches is the back of a pickup truck? It depends on both the size and model/year of your particular truck, but generally speaking it’s between 48 and 72 inches wide, with an average height of 18 to 24 inches from the top edge of the bed to the top edge of tailgate. No matter what size your truck is though, you should be able to fit plenty of cargo in its bed.
