How far apart are truck wheels?

The distance between truck wheels, also known as the wheelbase, varies depending on the type and size of the truck. It is typically measured in inches or millimeters. Here is a general idea of the wheelbase of different types of trucks:

1. Light-Duty Trucks:

- Compact Pickups: 100 to 120 inches (2,540 to 3,048 millimeters).

- Mid-Size Pickups: 120 to 140 inches (3,048 to 3,556 millimeters).

- Full-Size Pickups: 140 to 170 inches (3,556 to 4,318 millimeters).

2. Medium-Duty Trucks:

- Class 5 Trucks (16,001 to 19,500 lbs GVWR): 160 to 200 inches (4,064 to 5,080 millimeters).

- Class 6 Trucks (19,501 to 26,000 lbs GVWR): 180 to 230 inches (4,572 to 5,842 millimeters).

3. Heavy-Duty Trucks:

- Class 7 Trucks (26,001 to 33,000 lbs GVWR): 200 to 250 inches (5,080 to 6,350 millimeters).

- Class 8 Trucks (Over 33,000 lbs GVWR): 220 inches and above (5,588 millimeters and above).

It's worth noting that these measurements are approximate and can vary within each class of truck based on specific models, configurations, and manufacturers. Additionally, the wheelbase may also be affected by factors such as cab size, engine type, and modifications made to the vehicle.
