The fourteenth-generation F-150 has been on sale since 2021 and runs through the 2026 model year with only detail changes. It looks similar to the truck it replaced, which is exactly why owners get caught out: the body is aluminium, the tailgate gained a work surface and a step, and the available tow mirrors are wider than anything on the previous generation. A cover that fitted a 2020 truck will go on a 2021 and then fight you every time you use it.
This page covers the 2021–2026 truck only. For the previous generation, use the 2015–2020 guide. Below is what the current truck measures by cab and box, how to measure your own, and the fit points that matter on this body.
| Configuration | Overall length | Overall width | Overall height | Fit note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Regular Cab, 6.5 ft box | 209.1 in | 79.9 in | 75.2–77.2 in | Shortest body; two doors, no rear glass. The cover's cab section ends immediately behind the door. |
| SuperCab, 6.5 ft box | 231.7 in | 79.9 in | 75.2–77.2 in | Half rear doors. Same overall length as the short SuperCrew but a different door and glass layout. |
| SuperCrew, 5.5 ft box | 231.7 in | 79.9 in | 75.2–77.2 in | Four full doors, short box. Most common retail configuration. |
| SuperCrew, 6.5 ft box | about 243 in | 79.9 in | 75.2–77.2 in | Longest of the range; roughly a foot longer than the 5.5 ft version. |
Published US-market dimensions; width is body width without mirrors (with tow mirrors the truck measures close to 96 in across). Two-wheel-drive trucks sit at the low end of the height range, four-wheel-drive and Tremor trucks at the high end. Lifts, levelling kits, running boards and bed racks all change what you measure.
The tailgate is deeper than it looks. The work surface and the internal step mean the top of the gate sits further back than on the previous generation. A cover cut to the older rear profile hangs short and leaves the top edge of the gate exposed.
Tow mirrors change the pattern. Trucks with the towing package carry mirrors that are several inches wider on each side. A standard mirror pocket will be stretched or torn; the pattern needs the larger pocket and the extra fabric behind it.
Roof hardware. The rear roof antenna and, on some trims, roof-mounted clearance lamps sit where a flat pattern wants to lie. Measure their height and tell us what is fitted, so pockets are placed instead of the cover pressing them sideways.
It will go on, but it will not fit. The rear of the truck is deeper, the available mirrors are wider, and the roof hardware moved. On a 6.5 ft SuperCrew the older pattern is also short. Order the pattern built for the 2021–2026 body.
The body is the same, so the pattern is the same. What changes is where the truck sits: hybrid and four-wheel-drive trucks often ride slightly higher, and a truck with a levelling kit sits higher still. Measure the roof height on your own truck rather than taking the figure from a brochure.
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 through the contact page. For the previous generation, see the 2015–2020 F-150 cover guide.
Same procedure, different body: these guides cover the dimensions and fit points for the models we cut most often.
