Cargo/Door Dimensions...

[davespider]

Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the opening measured right at the tailgate? I'm basically trying to figure out what's the biggest box that I can slide into the 100. I know similar questions have been asked...but I wasn't able to find this specific q/a.

Thanks!

definitely wider than a sheet of plywood (i.e. 4' wide, but you have to have the plywood above the wheel wells to fit), not sure about height, but I know a dishwasher in its box fit laying down (bosch, you can find the dimensions on the internet, it was just at Christmas time) with the door closed.

My 07, roughly 52.5" wide at the bottom and 37.5" high in the center.

Thanks! Do you know the width between the wheel wells, as well?

I'm too lazy to walk outside, it's raining. The 04LX in the garage is about 44". Too much s*** in it (and my 07 LC) to get exact numbers.

~42.5" if you're counting the little 1/2" tall lip around the wheel wells
~44" if you ignore the lip.

One last dimension...what's the width of the door at the top, since it kinda angles in?

 

[jLB]

It's going to depend how you measure it...

The top corners are curved, and the interior trim panels intrude into the space a bit

The top "flat" (excluding the radius) is about 35"

So the biggest box you could slide in (with 3rd row seats removed and 2nd row stashed) would be:

35" (wide) x 37.5" (tall) x about 72" (deep). Ok...I'm not sure about that last number.

What are you putting in it, a tapped horn subwoofer box?

I appreciate everyone offering replies, sometimes I don't trust myself to really measure. I am strongly thinking of putting in a fitted "floor" of 3/4" plywood anchored to the various existing anchor points, so that I can add in more helpful anchor points for gear (fridge, boxes, etc) so these measurements are helpful. BTW, what would you call such a thing? I can't find an exact name, and everything else is too generic to be helpful when I search. //apologies for the moderate threadjack//

I'm hoping to be able to transport a photobooth in it...and I may be about 1/2" to big. Damn.
