Will a Yard of Mulch Fit in Pickup Truck?

Whether you are a homeowner or business owner, mulch can be a great way to improve the aesthetics of your landscape. Mulch helps to suppress weeds, retain moisture, and add color to your garden.

But it’s not always easy to transport a yard of mulch from one place to another. The question is: will a yard of mulch fit in a pickup truck?

The answer depends on the size of the pickup truck you have. A full-size pickup truck, such as a Ford F-150 or Ram 1500, will typically have enough space to hold a yard of mulch. The bed should be at least 8 feet long, and mulch is typically sold in 2 cubic foot bags that measure 3 feet by 3 feet.

If you have an extended cab pickup truck with an 8 foot bed, you should be able to fit 9-10 bags of mulch in the bed. If your truck has a 6 foot bed, then you should be able to fit 6-7 bags of mulch in the bed. However, if your truck has an even shorter bed then it may not be possible to fit even one bag of mulch in the bed.

In conclusion, it is possible for a full-size pickup truck with an 8 foot bed to fit a yard of mulch. However, if you have an extended cab or shorter bed then it may not be possible to fit even one bag of mulch in the bed.
