How big is the Ford Edge trunk space?

The Ford Edge offers cargo space that depends on seating configuration and model year. For most two-row Edge models, there is about 39.2 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats, expanding to roughly 73.4 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. The Edge was discontinued after the 2023 model year, so these figures apply to 2015–2023 Edge SUVs with minor trim variations.


Standard cargo capacity by seating configuration


Understanding how much cargo you can carry starts with whether the rear seats are in use or folded. The following figures reflect typical capacities reported for two-row Edge models.



  • Behind the rear seats (second row up): about 39.2 cubic feet

  • With the rear seats folded: about 73.4 cubic feet


Note: These numbers are baseline measurements and can vary slightly due to floor design, underfloor storage, a power liftgate, or other equipment by trim or year.


Practical implications


For everyday use, 39.2 cubic feet can accommodate multiple suitcases or bags, while folding the rear seats expands the space to about 73.4 cubic feet for larger items, weekend trips, or bulkier gear.


Model-year notes and discontinuation


The Edge’s cargo space has remained fairly consistent across its production span. However, Ford ended Edge production after the 2023 model year, so there are no new-generation Edge vehicles in 2024 or 2025. If you’re shopping for similar cargo capacity, you might compare with larger Ford models like the Explorer or competing mid-size SUVs from other brands.


Summary


In short: expect about 39.2 cubic feet of trunk space with the rear seats up and about 73.4 cubic feet with the rear seats folded for 2015–2023 Edge models. Production has ceased after 2023, so there are no newer Edge models to compare in 2024–2025.

Can a full size mattress fit in the back of a Ford Edge?


In terms of standard mattress sizes, the closest mattress that will fit in the back of most Ford models is a Twin. However, standard-sized mattresses do not take advantage of all of the available space. Because of this, it's best to have a custom mattress made.



How many suitcases will fit in a Ford Edge?


A Ford Edge can fit approximately 4-5 average-sized suitcases behind the second row, which offers about 39.2 cubic feet of cargo space. If you fold the rear seats down, you can fit significantly more, with the total cargo space increasing to 73.4 cubic feet, allowing for many more suitcases or larger items. 
With rear seats up (seats for 5 passengers)

  • Capacity: Approximately 39.2 cubic feet.
  • Suitcases: This is enough space for about 4-5 average-sized suitcases without a problem. 

With rear seats folded down (seats for 2 passengers)
  • Capacity: Approximately 73.4 cubic feet. 
  • Suitcases: You can fit many more suitcases or larger items, but the exact number will depend on their size. For example, a common test showed 29 carry-on suitcases fitting with the seats folded. 

Tips for packing
  • For long trips, try to pack lighter or strategically to fit more in. 
  • If you need to carry more, fold down one or both parts of the 60/40 split rear seat to increase your cargo space.
