What Is the Standard Width of a Pickup Truck?

When considering purchasing a pickup truck, one of the first things to consider is the width of the vehicle. Pickups vary in size from small to large, so it’s important to know what standard width is before making a purchase.

The standard width of a pickup truck can vary depending on the make and model. However, many pickups come in either regular or extended cab models, with regular cab models being slightly narrower than extended cab models. For example, many Ford F-150s come in either a regular cab or extended cab model with an overall width of 79 inches and 86 inches respectively.

In addition to the standard widths of individual pickup trucks, there are also variations in wheelbase length that can affect the overall width. For example, some pickups have wheelbases that are 118 inches long while others have wheelbases that are 140 inches long. This can cause a difference between two pickups that are both considered “standard” but still have different overall widths.

Finally, it’s important to note that certain accessories such as running boards or bed rails can add additional width to a pickup truck. When considering accessories for your new pickup truck, be sure to take into account the additional width they may add so you know exactly what size your vehicle will be.

Conclusion:
The standard width of a pickup truck varies depending on the make and model as well as any additional accessories added on after purchase. Generally speaking, most pickups come in either regular or extended cab models with an overall width ranging from 79 inches to 86 inches respectively. Accessories such as running boards or bed rails can also add additional width which should be taken into account when considering purchasing a new vehicle.
