A tonneau cover is a great way to improve the functionality and appearance of your truck. Not only does it keep your cargo safe and secure, but it also gives your vehicle a sleek, finished look.

Measuring Your Truck Bed For A Tonneau

You don’t need the exact measurement. As long as your measurement is close to one of the bed lengths offered, you are good.

To measure your truck bed for a tonneau cover, you will need:

• A tape measure
• A helper (optional)

First, you will need to find the length and width of your truck bed. To do this, open the tailgate and measure from the inside of the bed at the front to the inside of the bed at the back. Make sure to measure in a straight line and do not include the overhang. Next, measure the width of your truck bed. To do this, measure from the inside of the bed at the driver’s side to the inside of the bed at the passenger’s side. Again, make sure to measure in a straight line and do not include the overhang.

Once you have the length and width of your truck bed, you will need to find the height of the sides. To do this, measure from the top of the bed to the bottom of the bed. If you purchase a soft tonneau cover, you will also need to measure the distance from the front of the bed to the cab. To do this, measure from the inside of the bed at the front to the inside of the bed at the cab.

If you are purchasing a hard tonneau cover, you will need to measure the distance from the front of the bed to the cab and the length from the back of the bed to the tailgate. To do this, measure from the inside of the bed at the front to the inside of the bed at the cab. Then, measure from the inside of the bed at the back to the inside of the tailgate.

Once you have all your measurements, you will need to find the tonneau cover size you need. Most manufacturers will list the dimensions of their covers in length, width, and height.
