Chevrolet Colorado data analysis
Longest bed: 74 inches
The longest Chevrolet Colorado bed measures 74 in — 6.2 ft, the 6-ft 2-in Long Bed. The shortest bed is 61.7 in, only 12.3 in down. Both configurations carry the same things. Width at the rails is 57.8 in, depth 20.9 in. That is rank 10 of 17 pickups in this dataset, 44th percentile. The cohort median is 74 in, so this vehicle sits right on it. Next rung up is the Ram 1500 at 76.3 in, 2.3 in clear of this one. Immediately behind: the Toyota Tacoma at 73.9 in. GMC Canyon matches it exactly — that figure is a segment convention, not an engineering ceiling. Peak cargo volume is 49.9 cu ft — compact-truck territory.
Does a 4x8 sheet fit flat
No. 44.4 in between the wheel wells is 3.6 in short of a 48 in sheet. Sheet goods ride on top of the wells or go in at an angle. An 8 ft sheet overhangs by 22 in with the tailgate up, so it travels with the gate down and a red flag. Spray-in liners lose almost nothing; drop-in plastic liners lose an inch or more each side, which is the difference between a sheet lying flat and not.
Configurations covered
20 bed configurations across 2015–2026, one row per bed and cab combination. Beds on file: 5-ft 2-in Bed, 5-ft 2-in Short Bed, 6-ft 2-in Long Bed. The longest bed is rarely orderable with the largest cab. Nominal bed names round hard: a "6.5-ft bed" is rarely exactly 78 in, which is why the measured column matters more than the marketing label. Sources for these 20 rows: manufacturer filings, covering 12 model years.
How Chevrolet Colorado bed length varies
Across 20 configurations recorded for the 2015 through 2026 Chevrolet Colorado, bed length runs from 61.7 inches to 74 inches. The strongest figure belongs to the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado (6-ft 2-in Long Bed) at 74 inches, and the weakest to the 2026 car (5-ft 2-in Bed) at 61.7 inches — a spread of 20%. A gap that wide means the model year and configuration you buy matter more than the nameplate does: quoting a single number for the Chevrolet Colorado would be misleading.
What changed for 2026
Average bed length for the 2026 Chevrolet Colorado is 61.7 inches, against 61.7 inches for the 2025 car — it held flat. A carry-over year like this usually means no powertrain or structural change, so an older example is the cheaper way into the same specification.
Configurations behind these Chevrolet Colorado numbers
The 2015 through 2026 Chevrolet Colorado entries here cover the variants 5-ft 2-in Bed, 5-ft 2-in Short Bed and 6-ft 2-in Long Bed. 2022 is the busiest model year in the record with 2 separate measured configurations, which is why a single quoted bed length figure for that year is rarely the one that matches the car in front of you. Match the row to the exact drivetrain, body style and engine on the window sticker or VIN before relying on the number, and use the comparison links below to see how those same configurations line up against rival models.
Frequently Asked Questions About Colorado Bed Size
How long is the Chevrolet Colorado bed?
The Chevrolet Colorado bed measures 74 inches (6.2 ft) at the floor in the 6-ft 2-in Long Bed. Shorter bed configurations are listed year by year in the table above.
Will a 4x8 sheet of plywood fit in a Chevrolet Colorado?
The Chevrolet Colorado measures 44.4 inches between the wheel wells, so a 48-inch sheet will not sit flat between them — it has to rest on top of the wheel wells or ride at an angle. With the tailgate down and the load properly flagged, an 8-foot sheet will overhang on any short bed.
How much cargo volume does the Chevrolet Colorado bed have?
Cargo volume is about 49.9 cubic feet with a 20.9-inch bed depth. Volume is measured to the top of the bed rails, so a level load will be less.
