I also went to the dealer with my tape measure for similar reasons. I took the following measurements:

- back hatch to front seat (76 inches when front seat is all the way back)
- back hatch to front seat with the seat all the way forward (87 inches)
- width of 60/40 back seats (drivers side = 28 inches to start of wheel well; passenger side = 18 inches to wheel well) = 46 inches total

So there is room for a 28 inch wide pad or cot with just the '60' 2nd row seat folded down and plenty of length.

I also measured the height of the back window above the cargo area floor (to see where a 15 inch high cot ends up) = 16 inches to cargo cover attachment point, which is below the window.

FYI, the reason I am considering using a cot is to preserve storage space underneath without building any type of platform. I will usually have the cot with me anyway to use inside my tent so for stops/stays of 2 nights or longer, I will probably set up my tent, etc. For a 1 night stop, I would sleep in the car (or when arriving someplace in inclement weather, even if I plan to stay longer.)

Great info!

Wondering if any owners could give one more dimension. What is the tallest item that could be loaded? I sometimes help transport rescue dogs and often use dog crates if transporting more than one dog at time.

Also, can the rear glass on the tailgate open separately?

Thx!

The distance from the cargo area floor to the lowest point of the tailgate opening is 32 inches.

The rear glass cannot be opened.
