In a new Ford Escape, the cargo area measures about 37.8 inches long. With the rear seats up, there's around 33.5 cubic feet of cargo space, and when the seats are folded down, it increases to 65.4 cubic feet. This provides plenty of room for big shopping hauls, but limits furniture hauling. You won't fit large mattresses, but full or twin sizes should be fine with the rear seats down.
How many inches is the distance from the front seat to the back door with the back seat folded down? Also, what is the measurement between the wheelbases? I appreciate your assistance with this information.
Why is nobody responding to the query? Length should be measured in inches, not cubic feet, as cubic feet indicates volume, not length.
I recently measured the space in my 2021 Escape PHEV. From the middle of the front seats to the back of the cargo area with the rear seats folded down and the hatch shut is 65 inches.
The Ford Escape trunk provides 33.5 square feet of room, with a length measuring at 37.8 inches.
I laid a 6-foot sofa table horizontally in the car with the back seats folded down, and the hatchback closed perfectly. The table was about 20 inches wide. Next, I plan to transport an 80-inch long queen-size foam hybrid mattress in a compact box by folding it like a taco and securing it with bungee straps to keep the hatch closed. I'm optimistic that I can pull it off!
I find it very irritating when people ask about fitting objects in the cargo space of a Ford Escape with the seats down and the door closed, and all they get are unhelpful cubic meters answers. Skis and coffee tables are not measured in cubic meters. What matters more is the length, so why can't someone just provide a clear answer on that? Instead of focusing on irrelevant measurements, let's think logically. How long can something be and still allow the hatch to shut?
The Ford Escape provides approximately 33.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the back seats, expanding to 65.4 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded down.
