What Fits in a Ford Maverick Bed?

The real bed dimensions, payload, and wheel-arch clearances for the Ford Maverick compact pickup — and exactly what overland gear you can load. Below is a to-scale 3D model of the bed, built from measured data.

The Numbers

Measured cargo-area dimensions for the 1st Gen · 4.5ft Bed (2022–). Every gear-fit call on this page is computed from these.

Dimensions are approximate and sourced from measured references — verify against your exact model year and trim before purchasing gear. Payload includes passengers and accessories; check your door-jamb sticker.

What Actually Fits

Payload isn't usually the limit — geometry is. Here's a realistic overland load against the 1st Gen · 4.5ft Bed (2022–)'s 680 kg (1,499 lb) payload budget.

Sample overland build

    The real constraint is width, not weight. The Maverick's flat floor is about 1082 mm (42.6 in) between the wheel arches. Gear narrower than that stacks flat; anything wider has to sit above the arch line. That's the number that decides your build — and it's what the Kitchen Cube is engineered around.

    Built for This Bed

    Algorithm Overland Kitchen Cube — modular aluminum camp kitchen
    Algorithm Overland · Kitchen Cube

    The Kitchen Cube is a modular, aircraft-grade aluminum kitchen system engineered to live in a truck bed and deploy on the tailgate — designed around exactly the flat-floor-and-wheel-arch geometry above.

    It's built to sit on the usable floor between the arches and pack down for the trail. Fully modular, so it configures to beds like this one.

    Bed Fit FAQ

    What are the Ford Maverick bed dimensions?

    The Ford Maverick (1st Gen · 4.5ft Bed (2022–)) measures about 1382 × 1354 × 516 mm (54.4 × 53.3 × 20.3 in), with roughly 1082 mm (42.6 in) of flat floor between the wheel arches. Figures are approximate — verify against your exact trim before buying gear.

    How much can a Ford Maverick carry in the bed?

    Payload for the Ford Maverick is about 680 kg (1,499 lb) — but that figure includes passengers and accessories, not just bed cargo. Budget conservatively and check the door-jamb sticker on your specific vehicle.

    Will a fridge and drawer system fit in a Maverick bed?

    Most 40–75L overland fridges (roughly 445–935 mm long) fit ahead of the wheel wells, and drawer systems up to about 1082 mm wide fit on the flat floor between the arches. Anything wider than the floor must sit above that line.

    Does the Kitchen Cube fit a Ford Maverick?
