Enter your couch dimensions and cargo van measurements — the app checks door opening, interior space, and loading orientation.
Whether it fits depends on measurements most people get wrong.
Couch length vs. cargo van interior length, and couch width vs. rear door opening width
Item: Standard 3-seat couch: 84" L × 35" W × 33" H. Loveseat: 52–60" L
Space: Full-size cargo van (Transit 250): 130" L × 70" W × 72" H. Compact (ProMaster City): 87" L × 48" W × 52" H
Actual clear openings are usually 1–2″ smaller than the labeled size.
Your exact dimensions probably aren't "standard." Small measurement errors cause big problems — 1 inch can be the difference between fitting and getting stuck.
Verdicts are calculated by comparing all 6 item orientations against the space dimensions using verified building code standards. See our methodology

Standard sizes say it works — but your measurements are what matter.

From the Ram ProMaster to the Ford Transit, cargo vans range from 230 to 480 cubic feet. Here's how they compare for furniture moving.
A 10-foot truck holds about 1 bedroom worth of furniture. Here's exactly what fits — and when you need to size up to a 15 or 20-footer.
Your couch is wider than your door. Here are 7 proven techniques to get it through — from tilting angles to door removal to the pivot-and-slide method.
Full-size cargo vans (Ford Transit, Ram ProMaster, Mercedes Sprinter) have cargo areas 120–170" long and 60–70" wide — a standard 84" couch fits easily. Compact cargo vans (ProMaster City, Transit Connect) have cargo areas 87–120" long and may require the couch to be loaded at an angle.
Stand the couch on end and slide it through the rear doors if the door opening is smaller than the couch length. Once inside, lay it flat or lean it against the van wall. For full-size vans with large rear doors (60–72" wide), the couch can go in horizontally. Use moving blankets to protect both couch and van walls.
In a full-size cargo van (234–300+ cubic feet), yes. Place the couch along one wall, then stack boxes, chairs, and smaller items alongside and on top. A full-size Sprinter 170" wheelbase can move a complete 1-bedroom apartment in one trip.
For a single couch or small load, a cargo van ($50–$100/day) is cheaper and easier to drive than a moving truck ($100–$200/day). For a full apartment, a truck offers more vertical stacking space. Cargo vans are easier to park, drive through residential areas, and don't require a special license.
