How many Cubic yards fit in a Toyota pick up truck?

Answer 1

A standard short-bed pickup(6' x 4'6" x 18") will hold approximately 1.5 cubic yards. With a plastic bed liner the same truck will hold approximately 1.333 cubic yards.

A full-size truck(8' x 5.33' x 18") will hold about 2.5 cubic yards.

You also should account for the wheel wells that protrude into the bed. They can be a small factor to consider if you want to maximize your load without over filling it.

Adding to a good answer: Also consider the weight of the contents youll be hauling. 1 cubic yard of topsoil will weigh about 2400 pounds depending on the moisture content. Unless your truck is rated to carry more than 1 ton you may want to consider loading half yards at a time.
