Enter your item dimensions and check minivan cargo space — seats up, seats folded, and Stow 'n Go configurations.
Whether it fits depends on measurements most people get wrong.
Item length vs. minivan cargo length (seats stowed), and item width vs. cargo width (48–52")
Item: Varies — measure your specific item
Space: Typical minivan (all seats stowed): 95–105" L × 48–52" W × 42–48" H cargo area
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

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.
SUVs range from 30 to 145 cubic feet of cargo space. Here's what that translates to in real furniture — and which SUVs are best for hauling.
Which moving truck size do you need? Compare 10, 15, 20, and 26-foot truck capacity, what fits in each, and how to avoid paying for space you don't need.
With all seats stowed or removed, minivans offer 140–180 cubic feet of cargo space — more than most full-size SUVs. Cargo floor length ranges from 90" to 105" depending on model. The flat, low floor makes loading heavy items much easier than SUVs with raised cargo floors.
The Chrysler Pacifica and former Dodge Grand Caravan have Stow 'n Go — second-row seats fold flat into the floor. Other minivans (Sienna, Odyssey, Carnival) require removing the second-row seats for maximum cargo space. Stow 'n Go creates a completely flat floor from dashboard to tailgate.
A loveseat (52–60" long) fits in most minivans with seats stowed. A full 3-seat sofa (84") is too long for the cargo area, but some fit diagonally if the minivan has a long enough cabin. Measure cargo diagonal (corner to corner) for maximum item length.
For most furniture moves, yes. Minivans have a lower floor (easier loading), wider sliding doors (easier access from the side), and more usable cargo volume than comparably-priced SUVs. The main SUV advantage is higher payload capacity for extremely heavy items.
