The Slate truck is 174.6 inches long, 70.6 inches wide and 68.0 inches tall on a 108.9-inch wheelbase, with a 5-foot bed holding 35.1 cu ft and a 7 cu ft frunk. Payload is 1,550 lb for the pickup and 1,263 lb for the SUV bodies; towing is 2,000 lb and 1,824 lb. Turning radius is 37 feet. Ground clearance and curb weight are still unpublished.

Sources: the dimension diagram on slate.auto's specs page, read August 10, 2026, plus the June 24, 2026 pricing announcement. Slate's own fine print notes the truck is in preproduction and specifications are subject to change.
Correction, August 10, 2026: an earlier version of this page reported that Slate had not published overall length, width, height, wheelbase, or frunk volume. That was wrong — the figures are on Slate's specs page in a dimension diagram, and we missed them. They are above, and the two rows that genuinely remain unpublished are marked as such.
Will a Slate fit in your garage?
Almost certainly — it is smaller than nearly everything else sold as a pickup. At 174.6 inches long and 68.0 inches tall, the Slate is shorter than a Ford Maverick and low enough to clear a standard 7-foot residential garage door with room to spare. A single-car garage bay is typically around 18 feet deep; the Slate needs 14.6.
The width figure is the one worth checking against your own space: 70.6 inches is body width, and it does not include mirrors. If you are measuring a tight bay or a narrow city parking spot, add mirror width — Slate has not published it.
The 108.9-inch wheelbase against a 174.6-inch overall length means short overhangs front and rear, which is consistent with the tight 37-foot turning radius and generally good for approach and departure angles on rough ground — though without a published ground clearance figure, that last part stays qualitative.
What Slate still hasn't published
Two figures, and they're both consequential:
- Ground clearance. No figure. This also means there's no published baseline for what the lift kit would change — both the stock clearance and the lift height are unannounced.
- Curb weight. No figure, which means you cannot derive a gross vehicle weight rating from curb weight plus the 1,550 lb payload. Any curb weight you see quoted for a Slate is an estimate.
We're not filling either from photographs or reveal-event footage. Dimensions are the category where a wrong number costs somebody a garage door or a cancelled order.
Payload is the number that shapes your build
1,550 lb sounds generous until you start subtracting. Passengers come out of it. So does every accessory you bolt on — a bed rack, a storage system, a tonneau cover, a spare wheel and tire, a toolbox. Then whatever you actually wanted to carry.
Two things make this sharper on a Slate than on a comparable gas truck. First, it is a single figure with no higher-payload trim to upgrade into. Second, the SUV bodies drop it to 1,263 lb, so choosing the Squareback or Fastback spends nearly 300 lb of payload before you add anything.
Working through a real build budget is its own exercise — the payload math guide does it properly, with the accessory weights that are known and an honest account of the ones that aren't.
The 37-foot turning radius is the underrated number
It's the dimensional spec Slate did publish, and it's a good one. 37 feet on a truck with a five-foot bed means tight U-turns, manageable parking garages, and trailheads you don't have to reverse out of. If you're cross-shopping, it's a figure worth putting next to the competition rather than skipping past.
