Not modeled yet

  • Folding only part of a split rear seat — the calculator checks the rear seats fully upright or fully folded.
  • Storage outside the rear cargo area, such as a front trunk or an underfloor bin — not part of the fit check.

How the calculator checks a fit

  • The opening check and the interior check run independently: an item must clear the opening with one face and fit inside the modeled space.
  • The solver takes a 5% safety allowance off the opening. The opening sizes shown above are the catalog figures before that allowance.
  • Tilted placements inside the cargo space are checked in 3D. The loading path is not simulated: turning after entry, angling through the opening, wheel wells, roof taper and the seat-fold step are not modeled.

What fits

What fits in a Toyota 4Runner?

Each result below is computed by the same solver as the calculator, against the layouts in the table above.

Twin mattress (rigid)
Fits with the 2nd row folded — about 1 in of clearance. This result depends on the cargo length, which is approximate for this vehicle — measure yours before relying on it. A foam mattress that folds or rolls is a different check. Checked at 39 × 75 × 10 in.
Tight fit
55" TV in its box
Fits with the 2nd row folded — about 8.8 in of clearance. This result depends on the opening width and opening height, which are estimated for this vehicle — measure yours before relying on it. Checked at a typical 55" TV box, 52 × 33 × 7 in.
Fits
65" TV in its box
Fits with the 2nd row folded — about 4.4 in of clearance. This result depends on the opening width and opening height, which are estimated for this vehicle — measure yours before relying on it. Checked at a typical 65" TV box, 62 × 38 × 8 in.
Fits
Large checked suitcase
Fits with all seats upright — about 14.5 in of clearance. This result depends on the cargo width, which is approximate for this vehicle — measure yours before relying on it. Checked at 29 × 20 × 12 in.

Measure smart

What to measure.

Four numbers decide nearly every fit check. Get these right and the rest follows.

  1. 01The opening width and height of the trunk or liftgate, not just the total volume, since the opening is what an item has to pass through.
  2. 02The load-floor length behind the rear seats, then again with the seats folded.
  3. 03The height available under the roofline or parcel shelf, measured at the lowest point.
  4. 04Your item at its widest point, including feet, handles, and packaging.

Don't make these

Common mistakes.

Most “it didn't fit” stories trace back to one of these oversights.

  1. ⚠Trusting the cubic-foot figure and assuming a wide item will fit, when the opening is narrower than the item.
  2. ⚠Measuring the cargo floor but forgetting the roofline tapers toward the opening.
  3. ⚠Ignoring that a full-size spare, subwoofer, or hybrid battery eats into the quoted volume.
  4. ⚠Folding only one seat when the long item needs the full flat load floor.

Frequently asked

Questions we keep getting.

  • What are the Toyota 4Runner cargo dimensions?

    For the N280 (5th generation), U.S. market, 2010–2024 model years, ItemFits models two cargo layouts. All seats upright (behind 2nd row): a floor about 41 in long (estimated) and 43.5 in wide (approximate); Toyota publishes 47.2 cu ft for this layout. 2nd row folded: about 76 in long (approximate); Toyota publishes 89.7 cu ft for this layout. Cargo height (about 36.5 in) and the liftgate opening (about 43 × 33 in) are estimates.

    01

  • Which 4Runner model years does this cover?

    N280 (5th generation), U.S. market, 2010–2024 model years. The dimensions were checked against 2024 model-year sources. Earlier 4Runners are a different generation we don't have dimensions for, so the calculator labels any result for those years as an approximation based on the 2010–2024 model. 4Runners built after 2024 are a newer generation we don't have dimensions for, so the calculator labels any result for those years as an approximation based on the 2010–2024 model.

    02

  • How does the calculator decide whether something fits?

    It runs two independent checks: whether one face of the item clears the liftgate opening (with a 5% safety allowance taken off the opening), and whether the item fits inside the cargo space, including tilted placements. It does not simulate the loading path itself — turning the item once inside, angling it through the opening, wheel wells, roof taper, or the step where the seats fold — so treat a close result as a reason to measure.
