Short answer: The bed is 54.4 in long at the floor, and Ford lists a 1,500-lb maximum payload (hybrid AWD is reported around 1,400 lb, so check the door-jamb sticker). Plywood fits flat on the wheel wells. Most full-size ATVs and snowmobiles need a trailer.
Bed dimensions (Ford, current generation)

|---|---|
| Length at floor | 54.4 in |
| Width between wheel wells | ~42.6 in |

FLEXBED
Molded slots take 2x4s or 2x6s to build dividers or a second level. There are tie-downs, two 12V power points (wiring pre-provisioned for DIY lights), and a tailgate that sets at multiple heights. Lariat Luxury and Tremor add Pro Power Onboard (reported 400W).
Payload: read the yellow sticker
The door-jamb sticker gives your truck's exact payload. Passengers, toolboxes, and trailer tongue weight all count against it.
Prices and specs are from Ford's reported 2027 price list (via Cars.com, CarsDirect, Car and Driver; retrieved Oct 31, 2026) plus Ford.com/EPA 2026 data. Your window sticker or priced build is the final word, so confirm every figure there.
