How Wide Is a 2016 Silverado Truck Bed?

The 2016 Silverado is a full-size pickup truck manufactured by Chevrolet. It is available in regular, double and crew cab designs, with a range of bed lengths to fit different needs. The 2016 Silverado has longer beds than the previous model year, making it a great choice for those looking for more hauling space.

The regular cab model of the 2016 Silverado comes with either a short bed (6-foot-6-inch) or long bed (8-foot). The long bed gives an additional 16 inches of length over the short bed. The double cab models come with a short (5-foot-8-inch) or standard (6-foot 6 inch) bed, while the crew cab models have only one option: a 5 foot 8 inch box.

The box width of all three configurations remains unchanged from the 2015 model year at 80.5 inches wide between the wheel wells. This is ideal for hauling large objects like sheet goods and furniture without having to worry about them hanging out over the edges. The wheel wells also remain unchanged from previous model years at 49 inches wide.

Conclusion

The 2016 Silverado has increased its bed length compared to past models, giving owners more storage space than ever before. The width between wheel wells remains at 80.5 inches on all configurations and has not changed since 2015, giving ample room for carrying large items without worrying about them hanging over the edges.
