How Tall Is an Average Pickup Truck?

Pickup trucks are a popular choice for those who need to haul heavy items or transport large groups. But, how tall is an average pickup truck?

The height of a pickup truck varies based on its model and year of manufacture. The size of the cab and the length of the bed also play a role in determining the height.

Generally, most full-size pickups measure between 75 and 78 inches from the ground to the roof. This is usually measured from the lowest point on the frame, which is usually around 18 inches off the ground.

The Ford F-150 SuperCrew, for example, measures 78 inches in height while its Regular Cab version stands at 73 inches tall. The Toyota Tacoma measures 73 inches tall for its Double Cab version, while its Regular Cab stands at 70 inches. The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab measures 76 inches in overall height.

The overall height of a pickup truck can be impacted by several other factors as well, such as modifications made to it by its owner or manufacturer accessories like roof racks or bull bars that are added to it. In some cases, these can add several additional inches of height to a pickup truck’s profile making it taller than usual.

Conclusion: On average, most full-size pickups measure between 75 and 78 inches from the ground to the roof when measuring from their lowest point on the frame which is usually around 18 inches off the ground. However, modifications made to it by its owner or manufacturer accessories like roof racks or bull bars can add several additional inches of height to a pickup truck’s profile making it taller than usual.
