How Much Firewood Fits in a Truck Bed?

Firewood is a great source of heat, especially if you are looking to save money on energy bills. But how much firewood can you fit in a truck bed?

It’s a question many people ask, and the answer depends on the size of the truck bed.

The most common size of truck beds are six feet long, five feet wide, and 20 inches deep. This is the size that most pickup trucks come in.

Depending on the type of wood you are using, this size truck bed can fit anywhere from three to five cords of wood.

A cord of wood is 128 cubic feet and usually measures four feet tall by four feet wide by eight feet long. This means that if you stack the wood efficiently and securely in your truck bed, it could hold roughly three cords of firewood when loaded full.

If you have a larger truck bed size, such as 8-feet long by 5-feet wide by 20-inches deep, then you will be able to fit up to five cords of firewood in it. However, if your truck bed is smaller than 6-feet long by 5-feet wide by 20-inches deep then your capacity for firewood will be less than three cords.

Conclusion:

The amount of firewood that will fit into a truck bed depends on its size; however, most pickup trucks come with a 6-foot long by 5-foot wide by 20-inch deep sized bed which can hold around three cords of wood when loaded full. If your truck has a larger or smaller sized bed then this capacity may vary.
