Truck fit guide
Find the right Kimbo for your truck.
We've installed Kimbos on every common pickup truck on the road since 2016 — and a few uncommon ones. Pick your truck below for the engineering rundown: payload margin, recommended Kimbo platform, trim warnings, and the truck spec we'd buy if we were shopping for one ourselves.
How we think about fit
Payload first. Bed length second. Cab clearance third.
Door-jamb sticker is the truth. Manufacturer brochures and online configurator payload numbers are the upper bound — your specific truck's sticker is what the Kimbo install has to live within. Every fit conversation we have starts here.
Bed length determines whether the tailgate closes. Kimbo 6 needs 6 ft+ for a closed tailgate on a midsize platform; Kimbo 8 needs 6.5'–8'. Shorter beds fit but operate tailgate-down. Some owners prefer that for tailgate access; some prefer a clean closed look. Neither is wrong — it's a styling and use-case decision.
Cab clearance is the third variable, and it's the one that bites buyers who don't expect it. Newer truck redesigns (4th Gen Tacoma, 14th Gen F-150 King Ranch) often sit taller than their predecessors, which means jack-bracket extensions or small bed risers may be needed for the Kimbo cabover to clear cleanly. We measure each install before committing.
Midsize trucks
Midsize trucks.
The Kimbo 6 was designed around the dimensions of a midsize bed. Tacoma, Ranger, Colorado/Canyon, Frontier, and Dakota all fit cleanly with airbags.

At HD class, payload is rarely the constraint — bed length and SRW vs DRW are the decisions. Kimbo 8 is the typical pairing on this segment.

Trucks we currently don't fit
The honest list of incompatibles.
These trucks have payload, bed-rail, or geometry constraints that preclude a clean Kimbo install at this time: Chevy Avalanche, Chevy Silverado EV, Tesla Cybertruck, Hyundai Santa Cruz, GMC Hummer EV. If you own one of these and want to talk through your specific use case, we'll still take the call — sometimes the answer is "not yet" rather than "never."
Don't see your truck?
We add trucks to this guide as we install on them. If yours isn't listed yet, we've probably installed at least one — talk to us about your specific configuration.
