How much cargo space is behind the third row of the Sequoia?
Approximately 25 cubic feet of cargo space sits behind the Sequoia's third row.
The current-generation Sequoia, redesigned for the 2023 model year, is a three-row full-size SUV built for versatility. While the space behind the third row is modest with the third row in use, folding the seats unlocks substantially more cargo room. This article lays out the official figures and what they mean for real-world use.
Official cargo figures and what they mean
These figures come from Toyota's official specifications for the current-generation Sequoia (2023–present). They reflect cargo space with rows in their standard positions and with the third row folded where applicable.
- Behind the third row (third row in use): 25.0 cubic feet
- Behind the second row (third row folded flat): about 57.7 cubic feet
- Behind the first row (both second and third rows folded): about 86–87 cubic feet
Note that these measurements assume a standard cargo floor and typical seating configurations. Variations in trims, floor mats, and optional rear-storage features can slightly adjust usable space.
Practical considerations for daily use
In everyday scenarios, 25 cubic feet behind the third row is enough for groceries, a few suitcases, or a day’s worth of gear for a family. If you regularly need more cargo, folding the third row expands the area to roughly 58 cubic feet, and folding both the second and third rows yields a near-full-vehicle cargo footprint of about 86–87 cubic feet. The exact numbers can vary slightly depending on seating configuration and any interior storage options included with a specific trim.
Seat configurations and storage impact
Choosing between a bench or captain’s chairs for the second row can influence how you use the space behind the second row. With the third row folded, a bench setup typically provides easy access to the larger load area, while captain’s chairs may reduce certain floor-space access but still offer substantial cargo space when both rows are folded. In all configurations, the Sequoia remains one of the more versatile three-row full-size SUVs on the market, balancing passenger comfort with usable cargo capacity.
Summary
Behind the third row, the Sequoia offers about 25 cubic feet of cargo space. Fold the third row, and you’ll have around 58 cubic feet; fold both the second and third rows for roughly 86–87 cubic feet of space. These figures help buyers gauge whether the Sequoia fits their daily needs, from family trips to weekend cargo hauls. Overall, the vehicle’s interior versatility remains a defining trait of the current generation.
