Truck Compatibility
Standard Bed
A truck bed measuring approximately 6'5" to 6'9" in length, commonly found on extended-cab pickups. The 6.5-foot standard bed is the most versatile size for truck campers — the vast majority of slide-in campers are designed to fit it without major overhang issues. If you're buying a truck specifically for a camper, a standard bed with a crew cab hits the sweet spot of interior cab space and camper compatibility.
