Ford F-150 Car Cover 2015-2020
The 2015–2020 Ford F-150 is the best-selling vehicle in North America, which is also the problem: there are so many cab and box combinations that "F-150 cover" means almost nothing on its own. Regular Cab, SuperCab and SuperCrew bodies are different lengths, and the box behind them adds another variable. Buying the wrong one is the most common reason a truck cover ends up folded in a corner of the garage.
This page walks through the combinations Ford actually built in those years, the measurements that decide fit, and the details on an F-150 that a generic pattern gets wrong.
F-150 cab and box combinations, 2015–2020
Use the table to find your truck. Overall length is the number that decides which pattern family you need; width and height tell you how the cover drapes over the body and the roof.
| Configuration | Overall length | Overall width | Overall height | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Regular Cab, 6.5 ft box | 209.3 in | 79.9 in | 75.5 in | Shortest body; two doors, no rear glass behind the cab. |
| SuperCab, 6.5 ft box | 231.9 in | 79.9 in | 75.5 in | Half rear doors; the same overall length as the short SuperCrew. |
| SuperCrew, 5.5 ft box | 231.9 in | 79.9 in | 75.5 in | Four full doors, short box. Identical length to the SuperCab listed above, different door and glass layout. |
| SuperCrew, 6.5 ft box | 243.7 in | 79.9 in | 75.5 in | Longest of the four; a 5.5 ft pattern will not reach the tailgate. |
Published US-market dimensions. Trucks fitted with a levelling kit, oversized tyres, running boards, or a towing package can measure outside these figures — check your own truck before ordering.
Three steps to a cover that actually fits
- Read the door jamb label, not the advert. Wheelbase and cab style are printed there. A 145 in wheelbase truck can be either a SuperCab with the 6.5 ft box or a SuperCrew with the 5.5 ft box, and those two need different patterns even though the overall length is the same.
- Measure the four points that matter. Bumper to bumper, widest body point excluding mirrors, ground to the highest point of the roof, and the height of any antenna or light bar. Add the width across the mirror housings if you want mirror pockets to fit properly.
- Pick the fabric for the truck's parking spot. Garage-kept trucks need a breathable dust cover. Trucks parked under trees or beside a road need a waterproof outer shell with a soft lining, because grit trapped under a loose cover does more paint damage than rain.
Where a generic F-150 cover goes wrong
The F-150 has three specific problem areas. The tailgate step and the rear bumper are deeper than they look in photos, so a cover cut to the cab length only will hang short at the back. The tow mirrors on towing-package trucks are much wider than standard mirrors, and a standard mirror pocket will tear or leave the cover stretched across the door. And the shark-fin antenna on later trucks sits on the rear of the roof, where a flat pattern will press it sideways every time the cover goes on.
A custom-fit pattern is cut for your cab, box and mirror combination, with a hem that closes under the bumpers instead of stopping at the wheel arches. That is the difference between a cover you put on in ninety seconds and one you stop using after a month.
Questions F-150 buyers ask
Do I need a different cover for a SuperCrew with the 6.5 ft box?
Yes. The SuperCrew 6.5 ft body is roughly a foot longer than the SuperCrew 5.5 ft, so the short pattern will leave the tailgate exposed and pull the front hem up over the bumper. Order by cab and box length, not by model year alone.
Can I use the cover with a tonneau cover or bed rack installed?
You can, but the pattern has to be built around it. A rack changes the highest point of the vehicle and a tonneau changes where the cover can wrap at the rear. Measure to the top of the accessory and tell us what is fitted; the rear section is then cut to clear it rather than to sit flush on the tailgate.
Next step
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 via the contact page and we will confirm it before the pattern is cut. If the truck carries tools or cargo, our interior storage and protection range covers that side too.
