Ford Wheelbase Chart: Every Current Model, Cab and Bed (2026)
Quick answer: Ford’s current lineup runs from a 100.4-inch wheelbase on the two-door Bronco to 175.9 inches on a Super Duty Crew Cab with the 8-ft bed. The F-150 spans 122.8 to 164.1 inches and the Super Duty 141.5 to 175.9 inches, depending on cab and bed. Common lookups: 145.4 in = F-150 SuperCrew 5.5 ft or SuperCab 6.5 ft; 157.2 in = F-150 SuperCrew 6.5 ft; 176 in = Super Duty Crew Cab 8 ft.
Whether you’re checking garage clearance, matching an exhaust or driveshaft, or comparing tow vehicles, the wheelbase for your exact configuration tells you more than the model name. Below is every current Ford model in one table, then the cab-and-bed breakdowns.

Ford Truck Wheelbase Chart by Cab and Bed Configuration (F-150, Super Duty, Ranger, Maverick)
Cab and bed choice changes an F-150 or Super Duty wheelbase by more than three feet, so one number per model isn’t enough for buyers or builders.
F-150 (current generation, 2021–2026)
| Cab style | Bed length | Wheelbase (in) |
|---|---|---|
| Regular Cab | 6.5 ft | 122.8 |
| Regular Cab | 8 ft | 141.5 |
| SuperCab | 6.5 ft | 145.4 |
| SuperCrew | 5.5 ft | 145.4 |
| SuperCrew | 6.5 ft | 157.2 |
| SuperCab | 8 ft | 164.1 |
The SuperCab 6.5 ft and SuperCrew 5.5 ft share the 145.4-inch wheelbase, the most common configuration. The SuperCab 8 ft (164.1 in) appears in Ford’s 2026 steering specs, but availability is limited, so check Ford’s order guide. See the Ford F-150 wheelbase chart for 2004–2020 history and the F-150 bed size chart for bed dimensions.
F-250/F-350 Super Duty (2023–2026)
| Cab style | Bed length | Wheelbase (in) |
|---|---|---|
| Regular Cab | 8 ft | 141.5–141.6 |
| SuperCab | 6.75 ft | 147.8–148.0 |
| Crew Cab | 6.75 ft | 159.7–159.8 |
| SuperCab | 8 ft | 164.1–164.2 |
| Crew Cab | 8 ft | 175.9–176.0 |
The Crew Cab with the 8-ft bed is the longest wheelbase Ford sells on a pickup. Ford’s spec sheets and towing guide list some values 0.1 inch apart, so both are shown. Wheelbase growth over the 1999–2016 trucks and the full history are in our Super Duty wheelbase chart and F-250 wheelbase chart.
Ranger: The 2024–2026 Ranger rides on a 128.7-inch wheelbase, about two inches longer than the 126.8-inch 2019–2023 truck. See the Ford Ranger wheelbase chart for older generations.
Maverick: One 121.1-inch wheelbase across every trim, including Tremor and Lobo, with FWD or AWD.
Ford SUV Wheelbase Chart: Bronco, Bronco Sport, Explorer, Expedition
Ford’s SUVs are simpler: mostly one wheelbase per body length. Only the Bronco and Expedition split by variant.
| Model | Variant | Wheelbase (in) |
|---|---|---|
| Bronco | 2-Door | 100.4 |
| Bronco | 4-Door | 116.1 |
| Bronco Raptor | 4-Door | 116.5 |
| Bronco Sport | All trims | 105.1 |
| Explorer | All trims | 119.1 |
| Expedition | Standard | 122.5 |
| Expedition MAX | Extended | 131.5 |
| Mustang Mach-E | All trims | 117.5 |
The 4-door Bronco’s wheelbase is 15.7 inches longer than the 2-door’s. The Bronco Sport is a different vehicle from the Bronco, with its own 105.1-inch wheelbase, 16 inches shorter than the Maverick. For more on the Broncos, see the Ford Bronco model comparison chart. For older Explorers, see the Ford Explorer wheelbase chart.
Expedition MAX adds 9 inches of wheelbase (131.5 vs 122.5 in) and is 221.7 inches long versus 209.9 inches for the standard Expedition, per Ford’s 2025 specs.
Why Wheelbase Matters: Towing Stability, Garage Fit, and Breakover Angle
Towing stability. A longer wheelbase generally resists trailer sway better, which is why long-wheelbase crew-cab trucks are popular for big travel trailers. Ford’s towing ratings depend on engine, axle ratio, cab, bed and packages, not wheelbase alone. Check exact figures in our Ford F-150 towing capacity chart.
Garage and driveway fit. Garages vary, so measure yours against the overall length of your configuration, not the wheelbase. A 145.4-inch F-150 SuperCrew 5.5 ft is about 232 inches (19.3 ft) long. A Super Duty Crew Cab 8 ft is over 22 feet long and may not fit a 20-foot garage.
Breakover angle. A shorter wheelbase generally gives a better breakover angle, so the truck is less likely to high-center on a crest. That’s one reason the 2-door Bronco is so capable on tight trails.
Part swaps. For exhaust systems and driveshafts, wheelbase, not overall length, decides whether a part from a different cab and bed combination will fit.
How to Read a Ford Wheelbase Chart (and What It Doesn’t Tell You)
Wheelbase is the distance between the front and rear axle centerlines. Overall length adds the front and rear overhangs, so two trucks with the same wheelbase can have different lengths.
Ford rounds to 0.1 inch, and different Ford documents sometimes differ by 0.1 inch (for example, 175.9 vs 176.0 in). Trim packages like Tremor change ride height and tires, and on the F-150 Tremor Ford lists 145.6 in instead of 145.4 in, but the cab and bed set the wheelbase.
To confirm a used truck’s wheelbase, check the window sticker or build sheet, or ask a Ford dealer to look it up from the VIN. The Ford axle code chart explains the door-jamb codes.
Choosing the Right Ford Wheelbase for Your Use Case
- Tight trails and parking: Bronco 2-Door (100.4 in) or Bronco Sport (105.1 in).
- Compact pickup in a standard garage: Maverick (121.1 in) or Ranger (128.7 in).
- Family hauling with room to tow: F-150 SuperCrew (145.4 or 157.2 in) or Expedition MAX (131.5 in).
- Heavy fifth-wheel or gooseneck towing: Super Duty Crew Cab 8 ft (175.9 in). See the F-250 bed size chart for bed dimensions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the longest wheelbase Ford currently makes?
The 2023–2026 F-250/F-350 Super Duty Crew Cab with the 8-ft bed, at 175.9 inches (176.0 in some Ford documents). It is the longest in Ford’s current pickup and SUV lineup.
What is the shortest Ford wheelbase?
The two-door Bronco, at 100.4 inches. The Bronco Sport is next at 105.1 inches.
What bed size does a 145-inch wheelbase Ford have?
On a 2021–2026 F-150, 145.4 inches means a SuperCrew with the 5.5-ft bed or a SuperCab with the 6.5-ft bed. A 157.2-inch F-150 is a SuperCrew with the 6.5-ft bed.
Does wheelbase affect towing capacity?
Not directly. A longer wheelbase generally improves trailer stability, but Ford’s towing ratings depend on engine, axle ratio, cab, bed and packages. Check Ford’s towing guide for your exact configuration.
What’s the difference between wheelbase and overall length?
Wheelbase is the distance between the front and rear axle centerlines. Overall length adds the front and rear overhangs, so two vehicles with the same wheelbase can have different overall lengths.
Do the Ford Maverick and Bronco Sport share a wheelbase?
No. The Maverick has a 121.1-inch wheelbase and the Bronco Sport 105.1 inches, a 16-inch difference.
How do I find my specific truck’s wheelbase by VIN?
Check the window sticker or build sheet for the cab and bed, then match it to the tables above, or ask a Ford dealer to look it up from the VIN. This matters most when buying used exhaust or driveshaft parts.
