The Algorithm Overland Kitchen Cube is a modular, aircraft-grade aluminum camp kitchen that packs down to a compact 12 × 12 × 12 in (305 mm) cube to live in your cargo area, and deploys on the tailgate.
In the Subaru Forester 5th Gen (2019–2024), the packed cube sits on the cargo floor behind the second row, uses only 305 mm of the 907 mm floor length and leaves about 22.8 in (579 mm) of height above it — it fits the cargo area with room to spare.
Exact fitment specs for every bed are in the guide above. On sale now on Kickstarter until November 4.
Behind the second row, the 5th-gen (2019–2024) measures about 907 × 1257 × 884 mm (35.7 × 49.5 × 34.8 in) — roughly 881 L (31.1 cu ft), with about 1100 mm (43.3 in) of floor between the wheel arches. The 6th gen (2025–) is a little longer at about 930 mm (36.6 in). Verify against your exact trim before buying gear.
Payload is about 624 kg (1,376 lb) for the 5th gen and 599 kg (1,321 lb) for the 6th gen — including passengers and accessories, not just cargo. Check the door-jamb sticker.
Most 40–75 L fridges are 445–935 mm long against about 907–930 mm of floor, so all but the longest sit lengthways; a compact 20–45 L model leaves room for other gear.
Yes, easily — the 12-inch (305 mm) packed cube leaves about 579 mm (22.8 in) of height above it in the 5th gen and about 584 mm (23.0 in) in the 6th gen.
