Does a 4x8 sheet fit flat in any SUV?

Only in a full-size SUV with the rear seats folded and about 96 inches of length, and even then usually on top of the wheel wells. No compact or midsize SUV takes a 48 inch sheet flat on the floor.

Which SUV can carry a full sheet of plywood?

Large SUVs and minivans with the seats folded or removed come closest, since they reach the 96 inch length. Midsize SUVs carry it angled, and compact SUVs need it cut down.

What if I cut the plywood?

Cutting a 4x8 sheet to 48 by 48 inches lets it lie flat in most midsize SUVs, since the length drops under the cargo floor. Many home centers make the first cut for you.
