How big is the trunk of a Land Cruiser?

The cargo space of a Toyota Land Cruiser varies by model year and seating arrangement. In common configurations, you can expect roughly 16 cubic feet (about 450 liters) behind the third row, around 40–45 cubic feet (about 1,100–1,270 liters) behind the second row, and about 80–90 cubic feet (roughly 2,260–2,540 liters) with both rear rows folded. Exact figures depend on the generation, trim, and market, so check the official spec sheet for your specific vehicle.


What affects trunk size


Trunk capacity in a Land Cruiser shifts with how many seats you’re using and how you arrange the cargo area. Two key variables are whether the vehicle has a third row and whether you fold or remove rear seats. Over the years, Toyota’s redesigns have adjusted how much space remains when those seats are up or down, which is why values are listed as ranges rather than a single number.


Below are typical cargo-volume figures by seating configuration for most Land Cruisers. They illustrate how space changes when you fold seats or remove them.



  • Behind the third row: about 16 cubic feet (roughly 450 liters)

  • Behind the second row: about 40–45 cubic feet (roughly 1,100–1,270 liters)

  • With both rear rows folded: about 80–90 cubic feet (roughly 2,260–2,540 liters)


These ranges cover common configurations across recent generations and trims. Your exact numbers may vary slightly due to wheel choices, spare-tire placement, and regional packaging.


Model notes by generation


200-series (2008–2021)


In the widely sold 200-series, which offered eight-seat layouts in many markets, trunk figures typically align with the ranges above: roughly 16 cubic feet behind the third row, about 40–45 cubic feet behind the second row, and around 80–85 cubic feet with both rear rows folded. Variations can occur with trims that alter interior layout or cargo organizers.


300-series (2022–present)


The current generation generally maintains a similar hierarchy of space, with behind-third-row cargo usually in the high-teens to low-twenties of cubic feet, behind-second-row around 40–50 cubic feet, and total folding space near or above 80 cubic feet. Exact numbers depend on market, seating configuration, and optional cargo-management features included by the dealer or OEM package.


Practical tips for shoppers and owners


To confirm the trunk size for a specific Land Cruiser you’re considering, use these steps:



  • Check Toyota’s official spec sheet for the exact model year and trim.

  • Look up the cargo-volume figures in the vehicle brochure or owner’s manual.

  • Visit a dealership to physically measure the space with seats configured as you intend to use them.


Understanding the numbers in context helps buyers compare the Land Cruiser to other large SUVs, especially when planning for cargo-heavy trips or family needs.


Summary


The Land Cruiser offers substantial cargo capacity that varies by generation and seating. Expect roughly 16 cu ft behind the third row, about 40–45 cu ft behind the second row, and 80–90 cu ft with both rear rows folded, with small year-to-year variations. For precise figures, consult the official spec sheet for the exact model year and trim you’re interested in.
