How big is the trunk of a 4Runner?

Behind the rear seats, the trunk holds about 47.8 cubic feet of cargo space, and with the second-row folded flat you can reach roughly 89.7 cubic feet.


These figures come from Toyota’s current specifications and reflect typical configurations for recent 4Runner models. Exact numbers can vary a bit by year and trim, and the 4Runner is designed as a two-row, five-seat SUV with no official third-row option in modern production.


Cargo space by configuration


Here are the headline figures most buyers want to know when planning trips, groceries, or car-seat logistics.



  • Behind the rear seats (seats up): approximately 47.8 cubic feet (about 1,354 liters)

  • Maximum with rear seats folded: approximately 89.7 cubic feet (about 2,537 liters)


Note: The numbers above are the standard measurements used by Toyota for recent model years. Real-world usable space can be affected by cargo organizers, spare tire placement, and any aftermarket equipment.


Practical notes


Is there a third row?


Current-generation 4Runners use two rows of seating as standard; there is no official third-row option in the U.S. lineup, so cargo figures assume the typical five-passenger layout.


What factors can affect the space?


Seat configuration, floor-to-ceiling height with load floor, and the presence of subwoofers or cargo storage accessories can influence the exact usable area. The figures above assume the standard cargo floor and rear-seat setup.


Summary


For daily use, you’ll have about 47.8 cubic feet of trunk space behind the rear seats, expanding to roughly 89.7 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded flat. The numbers are generation- and trim-dependent, but they give a reliable baseline for planning luggage, groceries, and gear in Toyota’s midsize SUV.
