2024 Ford F-150 Regular Cab 8 4x2 dimensions & size guide

Size and Overall Shape

This long-bed F-150 measures 5,794 mm in length, which is noticeably longer than the 6.5 foot models in the F-150 range. That extra length is felt mostly behind the rear axle, giving the bed more usable floor space. The width sits at 2,029 mm without mirrors and 2,431 mm with mirrors, while the height is 1,905 mm. It is a large truck by any measure, but the proportions remain familiar to anyone who has used a full size pickup before.

The 3,594 mm wheelbase contributes to the truck’s stable feel on the highway. The long wheelbase smooths out road imperfections and gives the truck a planted character when loaded. The 208 mm ground clearance keeps the 4×2 version capable enough for light unpaved work sites, though drivers who plan to spend more time off the tarmac may prefer the 4×4 long-bed version.

Bed Capacity and Practical Space

The real appeal of this model is the 2,192 litre bed volume, which comes entirely from the extended floor length of the 8 foot box. This is the layout that makes the most sense for people carrying ladders, sheet materials, piping, timber or landscaping equipment. Loads that stick out of the shorter beds will often fit neatly here, allowing safer and smoother transportation.

Because it offers more usable length, this model is popular among small business owners and trades who need cargo space but do not require the extra seating offered by SuperCab or SuperCrew models. Compared with the Regular Cab 6.5 foot versions, the extra bed length makes a clear difference when handling long or bulky items, though the smaller bed trucks remain easier to manoeuvre.

Cabin and Everyday Usability

With seating for three people, the Regular Cab stays intentionally simple. This layout maximises bed space while keeping the truck lighter and easier to maintain than larger cabin options. It suits drivers who spend most of their time alone in the vehicle and treat the F-150 primarily as a work tool.

In daily driving, the long wheelbase gives the truck a calm and steady feel. Turning requires more space than the 6.5 foot versions, so drivers who often navigate tight yards or small car parks may prefer the shorter wheelbase models. On open roads, however, the long bed pays off with stability and a comfortable ride, even when the truck is loaded.

Who This 8-ft 4×2 Model Suits

This version of the 2024 F-150 suits people who prioritise cargo length. It works well for tradespeople, rural drivers, or anyone who regularly moves long items. If you have looked at the Regular Cab 4×4 6.5 foot model, this 8 foot 4×2 offers a very different balance: more space, less complexity and a focus on maximising what a full size truck bed can do.
