With the 2nd row folded, there is just over 8ft of length available up to 52" wide. I have been amazed by just how much I can fit inside this vehicle.

Story
We are maple syrup producers, and when we sold our evaporator this fall to get a bigger one, I fit 75% of the pans, hoods, smokestack and accessories in the back with no trouble. I couldn't believe it.
Pros
The cargo space and flexibility of configurations are the best feature. It remains more maneuverable than a full size truck with very comparable cargo hauling abilities.
Cons
The running boards are awful. The step is way too narrow, so when I stand on it to strap kids into car seats, I am standing on my toes.
