Width between bed rails?

[jedadiah]

I know the 6G is 2" wider than the 5G, but wondered if that meant that the bed rails are farther apart. On my 5G they are 55 1/2 inches (141 cm).

I'm wondering if I could use my crossover toolbox with a Thule ladder rack on a 6G. The bed rails would only need to be about 1 inch (wider 2.54cm) for it to work. About 56 1/2 inches or 143.5cm

I realize the ROW trucks could be a little different than the US version I'd et, but if someone currently has a 6G and could measure, it'd be appreciated.

Search this forum for the Body Builder thread. That document should have the dimensions you need. There’s also a thread already started about reusing 5G bed accessories in the 6G that will have information in it.

Thanks for pointing me in that direction. I found this info and if W204 is the bed rails, then it's basically the same. If anyone has a truck and tape measure though, a real life measurement would be appreciated.

I believe W500 is the measurement you’re looking for. W204 is the width between the tailgate

I thought W500 was it at first, but the 5G measurement is way bigger than my bed rail measurement. I think W500 the bed width under the rails. The pic in the actual Body Builder's Layout book looks like W204 is the rail measurement.

Full plywood/sheetrock (W201) laid flat in the bed = winner!!!
