Cybertruck bed dimensions: length, width & tailgate down
The numbers for the current Cybertruck (2024–present) in inches. Older generations are in the year-by-year table below.
| Measurement | Inches | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Bed length — 6 ft | 72.9" | Floor, bulkhead to closed tailgate · Crew Cab |
| 6 ft bed, tailgate down | ≈ 91" | Approximate supported length with the tailgate dropped |
| Width between wheel wells | 48" | 4×8 sheets only just drop between the arches |
| Overall length | 223.7" | Bumper to bumper |
| Overall width | 79.9" · 86.6" with mirrors | Body without mirrors, then mirrors extended |
| Height | 70.5–75" | 2WD to 4WD / suspension options |
| Wheelbase | 143.1" | Front to rear axle |
Tailgate-down lengths assume the roughly 18 inches a dropped tailgate adds on a typical pickup. Off-road trims run wider and taller than the ranges above — measure your own truck before counting on a tight fit. Will it fit your garage? Cybertruck dimensions & garage fit →
Not sure which bed you have?
Two Cybertrucks from the same year can have different beds depending on cab. Don't trust the badge — measure it. It takes 30 seconds and saves a return.
- 1
Close the tailgate.
- 2
Put a tape measure on the bed floor against the bulkhead (the wall behind the cab).
- 3
Measure straight back to the inside of the closed tailgate.
- 4
Match that number to a bed length above — covers are sold by category (5.5 ft, 6.5 ft, 8 ft…), so round to the nearest one.

What fits in a Cybertruck bed
Bed length in inches only means something once you know what it swallows. Here's how the loads people actually haul line up against every Cybertruck bed on record.
| Load | Needs | 6 ft · 72.9" |
|---|---|---|
| 4×8 ft sheet of plywood or drywall | 96" | Won't fit |
| 8 ft 2×4s and trim lumber | 96" | Won't fit |
| Full-size dirt bike | 85" | Tailgate down |
| Adult mountain bike, wheels on | 70" | Fits, tailgate up |
| Two-person truck bed tent | 60" | Fits, tailgate up |
| Standard 48×40 in shipping pallet | 48" | Fits, tailgate up |
"Tailgate down" assumes the roughly 18 inches a dropped tailgate adds on a typical pickup — measure yours before you count on it, and strap anything that overhangs. Width is the other half of the answer: a 48-inch sheet only lies flat on the bed floor when the wheel wells are more than 48 inches apart, otherwise it rides on top of the arches. For cubic feet of mulch, soil or gravel, run your dimensions through the bed volume calculator.

Cybertruck bed size — frequently asked
What bed sizes does the Tesla Cybertruck come in?
The Tesla Cybertruck has been offered with 1 bed length: 6 ft (72.9"). The exact bed on your truck depends on its model year and cab — choose your year above to see which covers fit.
How wide is the Cybertruck bed?
On the current Cybertruck (2024–present) the bed floor measures about 48 inches between the wheel wells — the narrowest point and the number that decides what lies flat. That is right at 48 inches, so a 4×8 sheet only just drops between the arches — expect it to bind. The bed is wider above and behind the arches; measure your own truck before counting on a tight fit.
How long is the Cybertruck bed with the tailgate down?
The current Cybertruck bed measures 72.9" (6 ft) with the tailgate closed. Dropping the tailgate adds roughly 18 inches of support on a typical pickup, so plan on about 91" of load floor with it down. Tailgates vary by a couple of inches — measure yours, and strap anything that overhangs.
How long is a Cybertruck overall?
The current Cybertruck is 223.7" long bumper to bumper, 79.9" wide without mirrors and 70.5–75" tall. Check the garage fit before you buy — mirrors and off-road trims add width and height.
How do I measure my Cybertruck bed length?
Measure the inside floor of the bed, from the bulkhead (the wall behind the cab) to the inside of the closed tailgate. Round to the nearest standard size — tonneau covers are sold by bed-length category (e.g. 5.5 ft, 6.5 ft, 8 ft), not the exact inch.
What bed length options does the 2026 Cybertruck have?
The current Cybertruck (2024–present) comes with 6 ft (72.9") on the Crew Cab. There is only one bed length in this generation, so every current truck takes the same size cover.
Will a tonneau cover from an older Cybertruck fit a newer one?
Not necessarily. Covers are matched to a specific generation and bed length, and both the bed length and the rail design can change between generations. Always match your exact model year and bed size before buying — the year-by-year table below shows where the Cybertruck changed.
Will a 4×8 sheet of plywood fit in a Cybertruck?
No. Even the longest Cybertruck bed (72.9") plus a dropped tailgate falls short of 96 inches, so an 8 ft sheet will overhang and needs a flag and proper tie-downs. Width matters too: a 48-inch sheet only lies flat on the floor if the gap between the wheel wells is wider than 48 inches — on mid-size trucks it rides on top of the wheel arches instead.
How much can a Cybertruck tow?
Properly equipped, the Cybertruck has been rated up to 11,000 lb across the generations on this page, with a maximum payload of about 2,500 lb. Those are best-case figures for a specific engine, cab and axle combination — your truck's door-jamb sticker and owner's manual are the numbers that count. Run them through the towing and payload calculators to see what's actually left for a trailer once passengers and gear are on board.
What cab configurations does the Cybertruck come in?
The Cybertruck has been offered as Crew Cab. Cab choice is what usually decides bed length — a bigger cab on the same wheelbase means a shorter bed, which is why two trucks from the same year can need different covers.
Does a tonneau cover on a Cybertruck improve gas mileage?
A little, and only at highway speed. Independent testing puts the gain on a typical pickup at roughly 1–2%, which is real but small — on most Cybertruck trucks that's a few dollars a tank, not a payback plan. Buy a cover for the dry, locked, secure bed; treat the mileage as a bonus.
