How To Measure a Truck Bed?

　　Before ordering your Truck Cap, it’s important to make sure you have the correct truck bed length to ensure the best fit. Measuring your bed before placing your order is a simple step that ensures your Truck Cap will be a perfect match for your vehicle. Taking the time to measure beforehand helps avoid any sizing issues, so you can enjoy your new setup without any hassle!

　　Step 1: Measure the Length

　　Grab your tape measure and start measuring. Begin at the inside edge of the bulkhead (the wall of the bed separating it from the cab of the truck) and pull back toward the tailgate. It should help to use the bed rail as a guide to keep the tape measure straight. Stop at the interior edge of the tailgate.

　　Jot the measurement on your notepaper or type it into a note on your phone.

　　Step 2: Measure the Width

　　Starting at the interior edge where the tailgate meets the sidewall, run your tape measure along the tailgate and stop at the opposite sidewall's interior edge. If your bed has pronounced wheel wells, it can help to measure the distance between them as well in case you're looking to add an accessory that needs to lie flat across the bed.

　　Record the measurement on paper or on your phone.

　　Important Considerations

　　1. Measure twice: it’s always a good idea to double-check your measurement to ensure accuracy.

　　2. Measure at the top: Make sure you are taking your measurement from the top of the inside of the front wall to the top of the inside of the tailgate. Taking measurements along the bottom of the bed will skew your measurement.

　　3. Consult our website: refer to our website or contact our customer support team if you have any questions about measuring or choosing the right size Softopper for your truck.

　　By following these simple steps, you can confidently measure your truck bed and ensure you order the right Truck Cap for a perfect fit and enjoyable outdoor adventures.
