Measurements
Nissan Frontier truck bed dimensions.
| Length | Width | Height | Volume | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bed (tailgate up) | 60"152 cm | 42"107 cm | 18"46 cm | 33.6 cu ft951 L |
| Bed (tailgate down) | 60"152 cm | 42"107 cm | 18"46 cm | 33.6 cu ft951 L |
| Tailgate opening | – | 42"107 cm | 18"46 cm | – |
Figures are typical for the current generation and vary slightly by trim and model year. The tailgate opening is the limiting dimension for wide or tall items, so measure it before the volume.
What fits
What fits in the Nissan Frontier bed?
Measure smart
What to measure.
Four numbers decide nearly every fit check. Get these right and the rest follows.
- 01The bed length from the bulkhead to the closed tailgate, then again with the tailgate down for long loads.
- 02The width between the wheel wells, which is tighter than the width measured at the bed rails.
- 03The tailgate opening width and height, the real limit for tall or boxed loads.
- 04Your item at its widest point, including handles, rails, and packaging.
Don't make these
Common mistakes.
Most “it didn't fit” stories trace back to one of these oversights.
- ⚠Measuring the width at the bed rails instead of between the wheel wells, where a sheet of plywood actually rests.
- ⚠Assuming the tailgate-up length when the load only fits with the tailgate down.
- ⚠Forgetting that a tonneau cover or bed cap cuts the usable height.
- ⚠Trusting the brochure bed length instead of your own cab and bed configuration.
Frequently asked
Questions we keep getting.
What are the Nissan Frontier truck bed dimensions?
The Nissan Frontier bed is about 60 inches (152 cm) long and 42 inches (107 cm) wide between the wheel wells, roughly 33.6 cubic feet. Dropping the tailgate adds usable length for long loads.
01What are the Nissan Frontier tailgate opening dimensions?
The Nissan Frontier tailgate opening is about 42 inches wide and 18 inches tall (107 x 46 cm). Width between the wheel wells is the usual limit for wide loads like a sheet of plywood.
02Will a 4x8 sheet of plywood fit in the Nissan Frontier bed?
A 4x8 sheet is 48 inches wide. With a bed about 42 inches between the wheel wells, it rests on top of the wheel wells (most full-size pickups carry it this way); lower the tailgate for the full 96 inch length.
03Does the Nissan Frontier bed size change by configuration?
Pickups offer multiple bed lengths, commonly 5.5, 6.5, and 8 feet, depending on the cab choice. The figures here reflect a common configuration; check your trim's bed length for an exact number.
