The 2015–2020 Ford F-150 is the best-selling vehicle in North America, which is also the problem: there are so many cab and box combinations that "F-150 cover" means almost nothing on its own. Regular Cab, SuperCab and SuperCrew bodies are different lengths, and the box behind them adds another variable. Buying the wrong one is the most common reason a truck cover ends up folded in a corner of the garage.
This page walks through the combinations Ford actually built in those years, the measurements that decide fit, and the details on an F-150 that a generic pattern gets wrong.
Use the table to find your truck. Overall length is the number that decides which pattern family you need; width and height tell you how the cover drapes over the body and the roof.
| Configuration | Overall length | Overall width | Overall height | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Regular Cab, 6.5 ft box | 209.3 in | 79.9 in | 75.5 in | Shortest body; two doors, no rear glass behind the cab. |
| SuperCab, 6.5 ft box | 231.9 in | 79.9 in | 75.5 in | Half rear doors; the same overall length as the short SuperCrew. |
| SuperCrew, 5.5 ft box | 231.9 in | 79.9 in | 75.5 in | Four full doors, short box. Identical length to the SuperCab listed above, different door and glass layout. |
| SuperCrew, 6.5 ft box | 243.7 in | 79.9 in | 75.5 in | Longest of the four; a 5.5 ft pattern will not reach the tailgate. |
Published US-market dimensions. Trucks fitted with a levelling kit, oversized tyres, running boards, or a towing package can measure outside these figures — check your own truck before ordering.
The F-150 has three specific problem areas. The tailgate step and the rear bumper are deeper than they look in photos, so a cover cut to the cab length only will hang short at the back. The tow mirrors on towing-package trucks are much wider than standard mirrors, and a standard mirror pocket will tear or leave the cover stretched across the door. And the shark-fin antenna on later trucks sits on the rear of the roof, where a flat pattern will press it sideways every time the cover goes on.
A custom-fit pattern is cut for your cab, box and mirror combination, with a hem that closes under the bumpers instead of stopping at the wheel arches. That is the difference between a cover you put on in ninety seconds and one you stop using after a month.
Yes. The SuperCrew 6.5 ft body is roughly a foot longer than the SuperCrew 5.5 ft, so the short pattern will leave the tailgate exposed and pull the front hem up over the bumper. Order by cab and box length, not by model year alone.
You can, but the pattern has to be built around it. A rack changes the highest point of the vehicle and a tonneau changes where the cover can wrap at the rear. Measure to the top of the accessory and tell us what is fitted; the rear section is then cut to clear it rather than to sit flush on the tailgate.
Identify your cab and box, measure the four points above, and order a custom-fit F-150 cover cut to those numbers. Not sure which combination you have? Send a side photo and a photo of the door jamb label via the contact page and we will confirm it before the pattern is cut. If the truck carries tools or cargo, our interior storage and protection range covers that side too.
Same procedure, different body: these guides cover the dimensions and fit points for the models we cut most often.
