Will it fit in a pickup bed? Dimensions for 40 common items

Most household items fit in a full-size pickup bed. A standard 6.5 ft bed takes a three-seat couch flat, a queen mattress nearly flat, and a refrigerator standing up. A king mattress rides angled, and anything over about 8 feet needs a long bed or the tailgate down. Here are dimensions and fit for 40 common items.

Pickup bed sizes

Bed	Length (in)	Between wheel wells (in)	Widest point (in)	Side height (in)
Short (5.5 ft)	66–67	48–51	62–66	20–22
Standard (6.5 ft)	78–79	48–51	62–66	20–22
Long (8 ft)	96–98	48–51	62–66	20–22

Typical full-size pickup ranges. The tailgate adds roughly 18–22 inches when it’s down.

Reading the table

• Over wells means it rides on top of the wheel wells, where the bed is 62–66 inches wide.
• Tailgate down means it rides with the tailgate open and the load strapped so it can’t slide.
• Angled means it’s too wide to lie flat, so it rides on edge or tilted against the bed side.
• Overhang: flag any load that sticks out 4 feet or more past the tailgate.
