What was the wheelbase of the Ford Model T?

The Ford Model T had a wheelbase of 100 inches.

Wheelbase is the distance between the centers of the front and rear axles. A 100-inch wheelbase gave the Model T a useful balance between compact dimensions and practical passenger or cargo space. The car’s sturdy frame, simple suspension, and high ground clearance were designed for the poor roads common in the early twentieth century.

The Model T’s standard track width was about 56 inches, a separate measurement that is sometimes confused with wheelbase. Ford also produced related commercial vehicles with longer dimensions: the Model TT truck, for example, used a 125-inch wheelbase. That distinction matters when reading specifications, because “Model T” can refer broadly to a family of cars and chassis rather than one identical body configuration.
