Enter your measurements
For what pickup bed size do i need, use the real measurements for cargo length, cargo width, and cargo height. The calculator then reports pickup-bed cargo fit and keeps any manufacturer- or rule-specific checks separate.
- Cargo length — Required

Pickup-bed cargo fit
Enter the measurements above to calculate pickup-bed cargo fit.
How the calculation works
Calculation used: usableLength=bedLength+(tailgateExtension if allowTailgateOpen='yes' else 0); lengthPass=cargoLength≤usableLength; widthPass=cargoWidth≤bedWidthBetweenWells; heightWithinSides=cargoHeight≤bedSideHeight; footprintPass=lengthPass AND widthPass. The reported result is pickup-bed cargo fit.
Worked example
Example: Cargo length = 32.46 cm; Cargo width = 70.15 cm; Cargo height = 96.67 cm; Pickup bed length with tailgate closed = 59.7 cm; Width between wheel wells = 82.18 cm; Bed side height = 101.49 cm; Allow tailgate-open length = no; Extra supported length with tailgate open = 112.02 cm. Result: Fits; Height Within Sides = Pass; Width Pass = Pass; Length Pass = Pass.
