61 * 2.54 = 155cm

you need 177cm

(assuming the 60 is a diagonal measure)

Wait, the length is 60.3 and the width is 56? I think that's wrong

You also need the height or depth of the bed.

o damn son

(sqrt (60.3^2 + 56^2) ) * 2.54 = the diagonal measure of the bed = 209 cm

there's no way it has a 56" diagonal. thats almost 5 feet. that might be the width of the truck, but not the width of the bed space. you've got the wheel wells too. but even assuming it's only 40" wide, you've still got plenty of space to slide em in on the diagonal

yeah its 41 with the wheel wells but i dont have to worry about them when putting in the skis cause the ends of the skis will go on each side touching the full width of the bed missing them

that bed open or you got a topper? might not fit with a topper if you're trying to stand them on end

but even then, assuming the thing is it's smallest, you have like 8" of clearance or whatever it was

you're golden.

high airflow mesh gate? might want to bungie the skis, you wouldn't want them to slide out one of the speed holes
