The Longest Vehicles on the Road Today - Trucks, SUVs & Sedans Compared

When talking about large vehicles, the first thing that often comes to mind is width. These wide-bodied vehicles offer space and comfort on the road with the ability to transport more passengers or cargo. Many pick-up trucks and some SUVs can be easily identified as a "lengthy" mode of transportation.

While large, wide vehicles typically have long bodies, some go beyond the standard dimensions. In this article, we take a look at the longest vehicles on the road today and how they compare to other vehicles in the same category. These are sure head turners wherever they go because of their sheer length.

Pick-up Trucks - The King of the Road

When it comes to general production vehicles, nothing beats the pick-up truck as the king of the road. Aside from its hulking size that can easily transport heavier loads, it is also known for its length to allow transportation of items of various sizes.

The longest pick-up truck is the GMC Sierra 3500 HD Crew Cab. Measured at 266.77 inches in length, GMC's longest pick-up truck is built for the whole family with its massive space and additional length to haul large items. The Crew Cab feature also increases its cabin length to provide additional storage inside.

GMC is not the only car manufacturer that boasts of long pick-up trucks. The Ford F-350 Super Duty is measured at 266.20 inches, Chevrolet Silverado HD Crew Cab is 266.8 inches long, and RAM HD Crew Cab is also relatively long compared to other pick-up trucks with 260.80 inches in length while the Toyota Tundra CrewMax can also compete with the big guys with 252.50 inches in length.

Aside from the Toyota Tundra CrewMax, the pick-up trucks in this list are heavy duty vehicles built for daily heavy lifting.

SUVs - Roomy, Family Vehicles

SUVs are your family-friendly vehicles built to be everything for everyone and there are notable SUVs known for their length. The Cadillac Escalade ESV stands out in this category with a recorded length of 226.95 inches for the 2025 model. While SUVs are great for families, Cadillac takes it further with luxurious interiors and upgrades taking full advantage of its size. If you're looking for a classy vehicle with additional capabilities such as fun off-road adventures, this is the perfect choice.

Other long SUVs worth mentioning include the Jeep Grand Wagoneer L (226.70 inches), Chevrolet Suburban​(225.70 inches), GMC Yukon XL (225.20 inches) and Ford Expedition MAX (221.90 inches). It should be also noted that the Expedition MAX is Ford's longest SUV to date.

Sedans - Beauty and Luxury with Length

Compared to other vehicles in this list, sedans are relatively shorter and the longest in this category still can't compare to longer SUVs and Pick-up Trucks. But even though they are comparatively shorter, longer sedans are the vehicle of choice when you talk about luxury.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended is currently the longest sedan in the world with 235.80 inches in length. Produced in 2024, this beautiful vehicle is well known for its extended wheelbase. The additional wheelbase is used to extend the back passenger space - making it roomier for everyone on board.

Other notable sedans in terms of length are BMW 7 Series LWB (212.20 inches), Hongqi L5 (220.50 inches), Bentley Mulsanne Extended Wheelbase (219.50 inches) and the Mercedes-Maybach S680 4MATIC (215.30 inches). These vehicles are often considered as luxury sedans and often used for government functions. For example, the Hongqi L5 is a limited edition sedan from China available for purchase but often seen during state events.

Bright Future for Longer Vehicles

The demand for trucks and SUVs that offer space and comfort continues to rise and car manufacturers are more than happy to cater to these demands. Automakers are constantly pushing the boundaries of what these vehicles can offer in order to attract more buyers. Advancements in electric vehicle (EV) technology has also helped because vehicle design can be optimized for more space and additional features.

It is worthy of note as well that most of the vehicles in this list were introduced in 2024, underscoring how car manufacturers are constantly working on building longer and more vehicles.

According to recent industry reports brands like Cadillac, Jeep, and Ford are rolling out larger versions of their SUVs, including the Escalade, Wagoneer, and Expedition MAX. Ram is launching a new midsize pickup and enhancing the 2025 Ram 1500 with more power and space. Ford continues to refine the F-150, and Toyota is pushing forward with a redesigned Tundra that includes hybrid and electric options.

We feature a wide range of vehicles, including sedans, SUVs, trucks, vans, hatchbacks, coupes, convertibles, and electric vehicles.

Length is measured from the front bumper of the vehicle to the rear bumper.

Width is measured from one side of the vehicle body to the other, usually without mirrors.

Height is measured from the ground to the highest fixed point of the vehicle (like the roof). Please note that external accessories like antennas are usually excluded.

Although most standard measurements are without mirrors, we provide measurements with and without mirrors when available.

Width determines how easily a car can fit into parking spaces and navigate narrow roads. It also impacts interior space so it affects passenger comfort.

Ground clearance is the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle and the ground. It actually affects how well a car handles bumps, curbs, and rough terrain.

Curb weight is the vehicle’s weight without passengers and cargo. Maximum weight is the total allowable weight, including passengers, cargo, and load capacity.

GVWR stands for Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. It represents the maximum allowable weight of a vehicle. It is set by the manufacturer to for safety reasons.

For sedans, yes! Trunk capacity and cargo volume are the same for sedans, since the trunk is the basic storage space. However for vehicles like SUVs, hatchbacks, and wagons, cargo volume includes the entire rear storage area, which is often measured with seats up or down.

Roof load refers to the maximum weight a vehicle's roof can safely carry, including roof racks, cargo and roof-mounted accessories.

If you exceed the roof load capacity, vehicle stability and safety may become compromised.

Rim size refers to the diameter and width of a vehicle's wheels, while tire size refers to the tire's dimensions (width, aspect ratio, and rim diameter). Both are crucial for proper fit, handling, and safety, so it's essential to choose sizes recommended for your vehicle.
