Thread: Cargo area dimensions for expedition box build up

Just had a look. The narrowest point between in the rear door opening is 1190mm (46.85inch). Between the wheel arches inside is 1080mm (42.5inch). Front to back, with the back seat in place you have 620mm (24.4inch) between it and the back door at the top of the seat. The only way you will fit the 30inch boxes is with the seats down. Simon

I am on vacation and don't have the access to the car )

Just done a quick check

1/ With the rear seats folded completly forward 53"
2/ With the backs of the rear seats folded 28"
3/ With the rear seats in normal position, from floor to rear door 33 1/2"
4/ With the rear seats in normal position, I put a milk crate in the back which is 12" high, from this height to the rear door shutting normally 29"

Thanks Mates this helps a lot.
Especially the note about the incline of the back seat.
The box I was looking at is 30 inch long and 19 inches tall, so I guess it will not fit (just). Here is the link to the product. I am set to buy (a roller) a box with big set wheels so I can roll from the house to the truck and then roll it on to the site.
They are both made to be builder's tool boxes, so tough built and don't cost a fortune.

Another option is, this one is 24 inches long (14W x 16H), so it will go with room to spare and if I keep my rear door pocket (whatever that thing is called) it could be a good fit. Its quite smaller that then one above.

I also must tell you that my wife jaw dropped when I told her that I asked some guys on the internet for the dimensions for the truck and I got it few hours later )) LR ALL THE WAY! Thanks again!
