Biggest bed in our chart
Silverado / Sierra 1500 long box

Truck makers name beds in round feet. The tape measure disagrees. Ford's "5.5-foot" F-150 box is 67.1 inches at the floor, Ram's "6-foot-4" is 76.3, and Toyota's "8.1-foot" Tundra bed is 96.5. None of them tells you the number that decides whether a sheet of plywood lies flat: the width between the wheel wells.

So we pulled every current pickup's bed from the manufacturer's own spec sheet, filled the gaps from a spec aggregator where we had to (and said so), and put all of it in one chart: length at the floor, width between the wheel wells, maximum width, depth and volume. That's 49 beds across 11 brands, including the previous-generation Tacoma, Tundra, Ranger and Colorado that are still everywhere. Below the chart there are three tools: a lookup, a "what fits" checker, and a bedliner coverage estimator. We make spray-on bedliner material, so that last one is where we'll make our pitch. Everything above it is just the numbers.

The short version

Standard truck bed sizes: the quick answer

Quick answer

On current full-size half-ton pickups, a short bed measures 65.6–69.9 inches at the floor (about 5.5–5.8 ft), a standard bed 76.3–79.4 inches (6.4–6.6 ft) and a long bed 96.5–98.3 inches (8 ft). Midsize trucks run 59.5–61.7 inches (5 ft) or about 73.5 inches (6 ft). Full-size beds are 48.7–51.0 inches between the wheel wells; most midsize beds are 44.5–45.5.

Two things stand out. First, "short," "standard" and "long" aren't industry standards. They're marketing tiers, and the same name covers a 4-inch spread. Second, the midsize class splits at the wheel wells. The 2024-and-newer Ford Ranger measures 48.2 inches between them. The Tacoma, Frontier, Colorado, Canyon and Gladiator are all under 46. That one number matters more to a contractor than the bed's length.

Length is measured at the floor with the tailgate closed; "Between wells" is the width between the wheel wells. All dimensions in inches; volume in cubic feet as published (SAE cargo volume where the maker says so). "Years" is the generation that shares the bed; the numbers come from each maker's 2025–2027 spec sheet, so check your own truck if it's early in a generation. "4x8 sheet": flat, gate up = 48 in or more between the wheel wells and 96 in or more of floor; flat, gate down = wide enough, but the sheet hangs past the floor; on wells = the sheet rides on top of the wheel wells. Sources: Ford, GM (body builder drawing), Chevrolet, Stellantis media spec sheets, Toyota pressroom product information, Honda News and Rivian; "MT" marks figures from MotorTrend's published spec tables, used where the maker's own page wasn't readable or didn't list the figure. Full list at the bottom of the page.

Truck bed dimensions lookup

Pick a make, model and bed. You'll get every dimension we have for it, converted to feet and inches (or centimeters), plus whether a 4x8 sheet lies flat, the tailgate-down length and a rough bedliner area. Where a maker doesn't publish volume, the tool estimates it and says so.

Between the wheel wells: 44.7 in, so a 48-in sheet can’t lie flat; it rides on top of the wheel wells. Volume isn’t published, so we estimated it as length x max width x depth, less 3% for the wheel wells. Tailgate-down length is a conservative estimate (floor length plus bed depth). Toyota lists 20.2 in deep on most configurations and 21.2 in on the 4x4 Double Cab. Width at the accessory rail is 56.4 in. Volume not published.

Reading a spec sheet

How truck bed dimensions are measured

Spec sheets describe a bed with five numbers, and each one answers a different question. Length at the floor tells you what fits flat. Width between the wheel wells tells you what fits flat and wide. Depth tells you how high cargo sits relative to the rails, and volume tells you how much loose material the bed holds when it's level-full.

The wheel wells set the usable width. Everything else is measured around them.
  • Length at floor. Inside the bed, from the front wall to the inside of the closed tailgate. It's the figure every maker publishes and the one this page uses.
  • Between the wheel wells. The narrowest point of the floor. Ford calls it "width between wheelhouses," Honda "at wheel wells."
  • Max width. Side wall to side wall at the floor, ahead of or behind the wheel wells. Ford's Super Duty sheet calls it "maximum width (at floor)."
  • Depth (inside height). Floor to the top of the bed side. Ford's Ranger sheet measures it "at molding," so a few tenths either way between brands isn't unusual.
  • Volume. Ram labels its figure "SAE volume," and most makers use a comparable method. On the full-size and midsize trucks that publish all four numbers, the published volume lands at 96–98% of length x max width x depth. The wheel wells account for most of the gap. That's the correction our tools use when they have to estimate.
  • Tailgate-down length. Rarely published. Honda lists 83.0 in for the Ridgeline and Rivian lists 83.6 in for the R1T. For everything else our tools use floor length plus bed depth. That comes out short on both of those trucks (by 2.3 in on the Ridgeline and 11.2 in on the R1T), and short is the safe direction.
  • Tailgate opening. The width you actually load through. Ram publishes 60.0 in on the 1500 and 60.4 in on the HD trucks; Toyota lists 53.0 in on the new Tacoma.

Why the name never matches the tape

Bed names are labels, not measurements. The F-150's "5.5-foot" box is 67.1 in, or 5 ft 7.1 in. Tundra's "8.1-foot" bed is 96.5 in at the floor, a hair over 8 ft. GM's own body builder drawing labels the Silverado 1500's short box "5' 8"," yet its floor measures 69.92 in, or 5 ft 9.9 in. When you're buying something that has to fit (a tonneau cover, a toolbox, a drop-in liner, a bed slide), go by the model year, cab and bed code, and by the accessory maker's fitment list, not by the nominal length.

Measuring your own truckIf your truck isn't in the chart, or it's got a liner, a RamBox, a toolbox or bed rails that change the numbers, measure it. Our guide to measuring your truck bed correctly walks through length, width, square footage and cubic yardage with a tape and a calculator.
The contractor question

Will a 4x8 sheet fit in a truck bed?

A full sheet of plywood, OSB or drywall is 48 x 96 inches. For it to lie flat on the floor, you need at least 48 inches between the wheel wells. For the tailgate to close on it, you need 96 inches of floor. Only 8-foot beds do both. Everything else carries sheets with the tailgate down, and most midsize trucks carry them resting on the wheel wells.

Sources in the chart above. RamBox-equipped Ram HD trucks are listed by MotorTrend at 48.1 in between the wheel wells.

Riding on the wheel wells isn't the end of the world. It's how midsize owners haul sheet goods, and some lay a couple of 2x6s across the wells to make a flat deck. But the load sits higher, it's harder to strap, and it's more exposed to wind.

When 0.2 inch mattersThe 2024+ Ranger's 48.2 inches leaves 0.2 in of clearance for a 48.0-in sheet. A spray-in liner at the 80–125 mils our applicators typically spray adds that thickness to each wheel-well face, so it takes 0.16–0.25 in out of the gap. On a Ranger that can be the difference between flat and not. On a Ram or an F-150 it's irrelevant. Measure the actual sheet, too; not every panel is exactly 48.0.

What fits in my truck bed?

Pick your truck and what you're hauling. The checker compares the item's length to the floor (or to the tailgate-down length), its width to the space between the wheel wells, and flags anything that hangs far enough past the tailgate to need a flag. The dirt bike and ATV presets use Honda's published 2026 dimensions; use Custom for anything else.

Ford F-150 (2021+), 5.5-ft box: 67.1 in at the floor, about 88.5 in of support with the tailgate down (conservative estimate: floor length plus bed depth; the real figure is usually a little longer). Anything past the tailgate needs to be strapped down, and state overhang limits vary.

Dirt bikes, ATVs and the 5.5-foot bed

A current full-size motocross bike is about 86 inches long (Honda lists 85.9 in for both the 2026 CRF450R and CRF250R). That's longer than every short and standard bed in the chart. With the tailgate down, a full-size short bed gives you roughly 86–92 inches of support by our estimate, so a bike fits with the front wheel against the front wall and the rear tire on the tailgate. Plenty of riders load diagonally instead: corner to corner, a 5.5-foot F-150 floor spans about 93.6 inches, which is why a bike can sometimes ride with the gate closed.

ATVs are a width problem first. Honda's FourTrax Rancher is 47.4 in wide. It clears the wheel wells on every full-size truck and on the new Ranger (48.2), and it doesn't fit between them on a Tacoma, Frontier, Colorado or Gladiator. Weight is the other limit. The payload figure on your door-jamb placard includes the ATV, the ramps, the riders and anything else in the truck.

The 4-foot ruleFederal rules for commercial motor vehicles (49 CFR 393.87) require red or orange fluorescent warning flags, at least 18 inches square, on any load that sticks out more than 4 feet past the rear. Many states set their own flag and overhang rules for every vehicle, so check yours. A 16-foot board in a 6.5-foot bed crosses that line easily.
Tacoma bed dimensions

Toyota Tacoma bed dimensions

The 2024-and-newer Tacoma comes with a 5-foot bed (60.3 in at the floor) or a 6-foot bed (73.5 in). Both are 53.0 in wide at the floor and at the tailgate, 56.4 in wide at the accessory rail, and 44.7 in between the wheel wells. Toyota lists depth at 20.2 in on most configurations and 21.2 in on the 4x4 Double Cab.

2024+: Toyota 2026 Tacoma product information. 2016–2023: MotorTrend's 2023 Tacoma spec tables. Toyota doesn't publish a Tacoma bed volume; our estimate is about 36 cu ft (5-ft) and 44 cu ft (6-ft) for the new truck.

The generation change opened up the space between the wheel wells by 3.2 inches (41.5 to 44.7) while the floor length stayed within a few tenths, and the floor itself got narrower (56.7 to 53.0 in). It still isn't enough for a 4x8 sheet to lie flat. Toyota also pairs beds with cabs: in the 2026 lineup the XtraCab gets the 6-foot bed, and the Double Cab offers both. Choosing the 6-foot bed on a Double Cab adds 13.2 in to the bed and 13.2 in to the truck: wheelbase goes from 131.9 to 145.1 in and overall length from 213.0 to 226.2 in.

If you're shopping tonneau covers or drop-in liners for a Tacoma, the generation matters more than the bed name. A 2023 5-foot and a 2024 5-foot are nearly the same length and very different inside.

F-150 bed dimensions

Ford F-150 bed dimensions (and Super Duty)

Ford builds the F-150 with a 5.5-ft box (67.1 in at the floor), a 6.5-ft box (78.9 in) and an 8-ft box (97.6 in). All three are 50.6 in between the wheelhouses and 21.4 in deep, with 52.8, 62.3 and 77.4 cu ft of volume. The Super Duty F-250 and F-350 use a 6.75-ft box (81.9 in) and an 8-ft box (98.1 in).

Ford's 2026 F-150 and 2027 Super Duty spec pages. F-150 max width (65.2 in) is MotorTrend's figure; Ford's F-150 page doesn't list it. Lightning figures match the gas 5.5-ft box in MotorTrend's tables.

One Ford dealer's bed-size page we checked lists the F-150 at 51.1 in wide; Ford's own spec page says 50.6 in between the wheelhouses, and that's the number that decides sheet goods. If you haul sheet goods and want a SuperCrew, the 6.5-ft box is the one to get: 78.9 in of floor plus a dropped tailgate supports most of a 96-in sheet, where the 5.5-ft box leaves about 7.5 in hanging by our estimate.

The Super Duty's 6.75-ft box is 3 inches longer than the F-150's standard box and a few tenths shallower. Its 66.9-in max floor width is the widest of any Ford bed.

Ram 1500 bed dimensions

Ram 1500 bed dimensions (and 2500 / 3500)

The current Ram 1500 comes with a 5-ft 7-in box (67.4 in at the floor, 53.8 cu ft) or a 6-ft 4-in box (76.3 in, 61.3 cu ft). Both are 66.4 in wide, 51.0 in between the wheelhouses and about 21.5 in deep, with a 60.0-in tailgate opening. The 2500 and 3500 offer a 6-ft 4-in box (57.5 cu ft) and an 8-ft box (98.3 in, 74.7 cu ft).

Ram's short box is the longest "short" box among the half-tons except GM's, and its 6-ft 4-in box is the shortest standard box. So Ram crew-cab buyers pick between two beds 8.9 inches apart, against 9.5 inches on a GM crew cab and 11.8 on an F-150 SuperCrew. The optional RamBox cargo management system puts lockable storage in the bed sides; MotorTrend lists RamBox-equipped HD trucks at 48.1 in between the wheel wells instead of 51, so measure before you buy a sheet-goods truck with RamBox.

Silverado bed dimensions

Silverado and Sierra bed dimensions

The 2019-and-newer Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 share three boxes: short (69.9 in at the floor), standard (79.4 in) and long (98.2 in). All are 50.6 in between the wheel wells, 71.4 in wide at the floor and 22.4 in deep, with 62.9, 71.7 and 89.1 cu ft of volume. The long box has the most volume of any bed in our chart.

GM's advantage is width and depth, not length. The 1500 boxes are 22.4 in deep, a full inch deeper than the F-150's, and 71.4 in wide at the floor. On an 8-foot bed those two numbers are how GM gets 89.1 cu ft against Ford's 77.4 and Ram HD's 74.7 at nearly the same length.

Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan bed sizes

The 2022-and-newer Tundra offers a 5.5-ft bed (65.6 in), a 6.5-ft bed (77.6 in) and an 8.1-ft bed (96.5 in), all 58.7 in wide, 48.7 in between the wheel wells and 20.9 in deep. The Nissan Titan, sold through the 2024 model year, had a 5.5-ft bed (66.2 in) and a 6.5-ft bed (77.8 in), both 50.0 in between the wheel wells.

The current Tundra's bed is an aluminum-reinforced composite, and it's narrower than the previous generation's: 58.7 in against 66.4, and 48.7 in between the wheel wells against 50.0. It still takes a 4x8 sheet flat, with 0.7 in to spare. The 8.1-ft bed clears a 96-in sheet by half an inch with the tailgate closed.

Smaller beds

Midsize, compact and electric truck bed sizes

Midsize short beds cluster tightly around 5 feet (59.5 to 61.7 in at the floor), and the 6-foot beds from Toyota and Nissan run about 73.5 in. The compact and unibody trucks are more varied: the Santa Cruz is 48.4 in at the floor, the Maverick 54.4 in and the Ridgeline 64.0 in. Among the EVs, the Cybertruck's bed is the longest at 71.8 in.

The Ridgeline is the odd one. It's the shallowest bed in the chart, but it's 50.0 in between the wheel wells, which is full-size territory, and Honda adds a 7.3 cu ft In-Bed Trunk under the floor. The R1T is short at 54.1 in, yet it's the widest between the wheel wells of anything here, and Rivian's 83.6-in tailgate-down figure is longer than some standard beds with the gate closed.

The Cybertruck's vault is the one bed here that isn't a conventional box, and its owners ask us about liners more than most. We covered it in saving the Cybertruck with ArmorThane bedliner.

Choosing a bed

Short bed vs long bed: which size do you need?

Buy the shortest bed that carries your most common load with the tailgate closed. For most crew-cab owners that's a short box. For contractors who haul sheet goods and long material every week, it's an 8-foot box. The standard box is the compromise, and the price of more bed is always more truck.

Toyota's own numbers show the trade: on a 2026 Tundra CrewMax, going from the 5.5-ft bed to the 6.5-ft bed adds 12.0 in to the wheelbase (145.7 to 157.7 in) and to the overall length (233.6 to 245.6 in). On a Double Cab, the 8.1-ft bed makes the truck 252.5 in long. Every one of those inches shows up in parking lots, drive-throughs and U-turns.

Short bed

Pick it if...

  • You need a back seat every day (most short beds come with crew cabs)
  • You park in a garage or downtown
  • Your loads are bikes, coolers, camping gear and the occasional sheet with the tailgate down
Long bed

Pick it if...

  • You haul 4x8 sheets or 8-ft material and want the tailgate closed
  • You carry a slide-in camper or a big crossover toolbox with cargo behind it
  • You tow a fifth-wheel and would rather not rely on a sliding hitch for cab clearance

Accessories follow the bed, too. Tonneau covers, bed slides, drop-in liners and toolboxes are sold by bed length and generation, and a spray-on liner is priced by bed size. Professional spray-on liners typically run $400 to $900, depending on the bed, the material and the thickness, according to our spray-on bedliner guide.

Mulch, gravel, dirt

Truck bed volume: cubic feet and cubic yards

Divide cubic feet by 27 to get cubic yards. A full-size short bed holds about 2 cubic yards level with the top of the sides, a standard bed about 2.3 to 2.7, and a GM long bed 3.3. Midsize beds hold about 1.3 to 1.6. Heaped loads hold more, but they're also how material ends up on the highway.

Ford F-150 8-ft77.42.9

Published volumes from the chart above, divided by 27. Tacoma estimate: 60.3 x 53.0 x 20.2 in ÷ 1,728, less 3% for the wheel wells.

Volume is rarely the limit with heavy material. Gravel, wet soil and stone can hit a half-ton's payload rating long before the bed is full. Your truck's payload number is on the Tire and Loading Information placard in the driver's door jamb, and it has to cover the load plus everyone in the cab. Mulch and dry leaves are the opposite case; you'll fill the bed first.

Interactive tool 3 of 3

How much bedliner does a truck bed take?

A spray-on liner covers the floor, both sides, the front wall and usually the inside of the tailgate. For a full-size bed that's roughly 75 to 112 square feet by our geometry. At 80 mils, that's about 4 to 6 gallons of 100%-solids material in place before overspray, which lines up with what our applicators use: about 5 gallons for a full-size bed.

Breakdown: floor 39.4, sides 24.7, front wall 11.1, tailgate 11.1 sq ft, plus 10% for ribs, wheel wells and corners. At 80 mils (0.080 in) that’s 4.7 gal of 100%-solids material in place, or about 5.4 gal with 15% for overspray and waste. A one-gallon DIY kit spread over the same area would go on about 17 mils wet.
These are geometry estimates, not a quote. Installers price by bed size, prep and thickness; our spray-on bedliner page puts typical professional jobs at $400–$900. Find a bedliner installer near you or ask us a question.

The math, so you can check it

One U.S. gallon is 231 cubic inches. Spread 0.001 inch (one mil) thick, it covers 231,000 square inches, or 1,604 square feet. So gallons = square feet x mils ÷ 1,604 for a coating that's 100% solids, which is what plural-component polyurea is. The area is a box model: floor (length x max width), two sides (length x depth), the front wall and the tailgate (width x depth each), plus an allowance for the ribbed floor, the wheel-well humps and the corners.

The same math explains why DIY kits look thin. A one-gallon roll-on kit sold as enough for a full-size bed puts down about 1,604 ÷ 90, or roughly 18 mils wet, on a 90 sq ft bed, and a solvent-borne kit loses some of that as it dries. Our comparison of spray-on bedliners vs DIY kits goes further into it.

Protecting the bed you just measured

What a bedliner does to your bed dimensions

A drop-in plastic liner is molded for one bed. It has to match your make, generation and bed length, and its walls take up room you can measure. A spray-on liner is the opposite. It's sprayed onto whatever bed you have, so it fits a 48.4-inch Santa Cruz bed and a 98.3-inch Ram HD box the same way, and it takes up only its own thickness.

At the 80–125 mils our certified applicators typically spray, that's 0.08–0.125 in per surface: 0.16–0.25 in off the width between the wheel wells and about the same off the floor length. On every truck in this chart except the new Ranger, that's lost in the tape measure. The texture also keeps cargo from sliding, which a slick plastic liner doesn't.

The honest trade-offs

  • It's permanent. Spray-on liners bond to the bed. You can't pull one out when you sell the truck, and the prep means sanding the factory finish. If your truck's corrosion warranty matters to you, ask the installer how they prep and read the warranty terms before you book.
  • It costs more than a drop-in. Our spray-on bedliner page puts professional jobs at $400–$900, against $50–$150 for DIY kits.
  • Quality depends on the installer. Thickness, prep and primer are what separate a liner that lasts from one that peels, which is why we train and certify applicators rather than selling cans.
  • A drop-in can be the right call. On a lease, or a truck you'll sell in a year, a well-fitted drop-in protects the paint without touching it. Our spray-on vs drop-in comparison lays out both sides.

Our liner material is ArmorLiner, a two-component, 1:1 spray-applied polyurea that also goes on decks, boats and van floors. If your bed already has rust, repair it before it's lined. For the full picture on sprayed liners, start with our spray-on bedliner guide.

For shops and contractors

Every bed on this page is a job.

Spray-in liners retail for about $500–$800 on a full-size bed in most U.S. markets, and every truck in that chart needs one. ArmorThane systems start at $25,000 with the rig, training and first material included, and there's no franchise fee and no royalty.

Straight answers

Truck bed dimensions FAQ

What are the standard truck bed sizes?

There's no industry standard, but current full-size half-tons come in three lengths: short (65.6–69.9 in at the floor, about 5.5–5.8 ft), standard (76.3–79.4 in) and long (96.5–98.2 in). Midsize trucks offer about 5 ft (59.5–61.7 in) and 6 ft (73.3–73.5 in). The size chart lists every model.

How wide is a truck bed between the wheel wells?

Current full-size pickups measure 48.7–51.0 in between the wheel wells: 50.6 in on the F-150 and Silverado/Sierra, 51.0 in on the Ram and 48.7 in on the 2022+ Tundra. Most midsize trucks are 44.5–45.5 in. The 2024+ Ford Ranger is the exception at 48.2 in.

Will a 4x8 sheet of plywood fit in a truck bed?

It lies flat only if the bed is at least 48 in between the wheel wells, which covers every current full-size pickup, the 2024+ Ranger, the Ridgeline, the Cybertruck and the R1T. Only 8-ft beds hold a 96-in sheet with the tailgate closed. In a Tacoma, Frontier, Colorado, Canyon, Gladiator or Maverick the sheet rides on top of the wheel wells.

What are the Tacoma bed dimensions?

Toyota lists the 2024+ Tacoma's 5-ft bed at 60.3 in at the floor and the 6-ft bed at 73.5 in. Both are 53.0 in wide, 44.7 in between the wheel wells and 20.2 in deep (21.2 in on the 4x4 Double Cab). The 2016–2023 Tacoma measured 60.5 and 73.7 in long with 41.5 in between the wheel wells.

What are the F-150 bed dimensions?

Ford lists the F-150's 5.5-ft box at 67.1 in, the 6.5-ft box at 78.9 in and the 8-ft box at 97.6 in at the floor. All three are 50.6 in between the wheelhouses and 21.4 in deep, with 52.8, 62.3 and 77.4 cu ft of volume.

What are the Ram 1500 bed dimensions?

The Ram 1500's 5-ft 7-in box is 67.4 in at the floor with 53.8 cu ft, and the 6-ft 4-in box is 76.3 in with 61.3 cu ft. Both are 66.4 in wide, 51.0 in between the wheelhouses and about 21.5 in deep, according to Ram's specifications.

What are the Silverado bed dimensions?

The 2019+ Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500 short box is 69.9 in at the floor, the standard box 79.4 in and the long box 98.2 in. All three are 50.6 in between the wheel wells and 22.4 in deep, with 62.9, 71.7 and 89.1 cu ft of volume. The Silverado HD standard box is 82.3 in.

How long is a truck bed with the tailgate down?

Few makers publish it. Honda lists 83.0 in for the Ridgeline and Rivian lists 83.6 in for the R1T. For other trucks, floor length plus bed depth is a conservative estimate: about 88.5 in for a 5.5-ft F-150 and 100.3 in for a 6.5-ft.

How many cubic yards fit in a truck bed?

Divide the bed's cubic feet by 27. A full-size short bed holds about 2 cubic yards level-full (52.8 cu ft in a 5.5-ft F-150), a standard bed 2.3–2.7 and a Silverado long bed 3.3. With gravel or wet soil, your payload rating usually runs out before the bed does.

What's the difference between a short bed and a long bed?

About 28 to 31 inches of floor. Full-size short beds measure 65.6–69.9 in and long beds 96.5–98.2 in. A long bed carries 8-ft material with the tailgate closed, but the truck gets longer too: a 2026 Tundra Double Cab with the 8.1-ft bed is 252.5 in long.

How do I measure my truck bed?

Measure the floor from the front wall to the inside of the closed tailgate, then the width between the wheel wells and at the widest point, then the depth from the floor to the top of the bed side. Our guide to measuring your truck bed covers square footage and cubic yards too.

Does a spray-in bedliner make the bed smaller?

Barely. At the 80–125 mils our applicators typically spray, a liner adds 0.08–0.125 in per surface, so the width between the wheel wells shrinks by 0.16–0.25 in. That only matters on a bed with almost no margin for a 48-in sheet, like the 2024+ Ranger at 48.2 in.

How much does a spray-in bedliner cost?

Our spray-on bedliner page puts typical professional jobs at $400–$900, depending on bed size, material and thickness. Our applicators use about 5 gallons on a full-size bed. Find a certified installer for a quote on your truck.
