What Fits in a Toyota 4Runner?

The real cargo dimensions, payload and clearances behind the seats of the Toyota 4Runner — and exactly what overland gear you can load. Below is a to-scale 3D model of the cargo area, built from reference data.

Drawn to scale from reference cargo dimensions.

The Numbers

Reference cargo-area dimensions behind the second row of the 5th-gen (2010–2024) 4Runner. Every gear-fit call on this page is computed from these.

Dimensions are approximate and sourced from measured references — verify against your exact model year and trim before purchasing gear. Payload includes passengers and accessories; check your door-jamb sticker.

What Actually Fits

A realistic overland load against the 5th-gen's 737 kg (1,625 lb) payload budget — sized for an SUV cargo area.

Sample overland build

    The 4Runner is the rare SUV that takes a fridge lengthways. You get about 1041 mm (41.0 in) of floor behind the second row and 1105 mm (43.5 in) between the arches — so even a 935 mm fridge sits front-to-back with room for a slide, which a Wrangler or Bronco simply can't do. Payload is generous too at 737 kg, more than a Tacoma. This is why so many overland builds start here.

    4Runner Cargo FAQ

    What are the Toyota 4Runner cargo dimensions?

    Behind the second row, the 5th-gen (2010–2024) measures about 1041 × 1320 × 915 mm (41.0 × 52.0 × 36.0 in) — roughly 1337 L (47.2 cu ft), with about 1105 mm (43.5 in) of flat floor between the wheel arches. Verify against your exact trim before buying gear.

    How much can a Toyota 4Runner carry?

    Payload for the 5th-gen is about 737 kg (1,625 lb) — including passengers and accessories, not just cargo. That's more than a Tacoma, part of why the 4Runner is such a common overland platform. Check the door-jamb sticker.

    Will a fridge fit in the back of a 4Runner?

    Yes — and unlike most SUVs it will usually sit lengthways. Most 40–75 L fridges are 445–935 mm long and you have about 1041 mm (41.0 in) of floor, so even a large one fits front-to-back with room for a slide.

    Does the Algorithm Overland Kitchen Cube fit a Toyota 4Runner?

    Yes, easily — the 12-inch (305 mm) packed cube leaves about 610 mm (24.0 in) of height above it in the 5th gen. It's on sale now on Kickstarter.
