What size boot is in a BA Ford Falcon?
The BA Ford Falcon sedan typically offers about 500 litres of boot space (roughly 17–18 cubic feet).
The following report explains what that size means for daily use, how it compares to rivals of the era, and practical tips for loading and maximizing cargo capability.
Boot space overview
Exact capacity varies slightly by trim and measurement method. For the BA Falcon sedan, the commonly cited figure sits in the neighborhood of 490–520 litres behind the rear seats with all seats in place. The space is measured with the rear seats upright and the spare wheel stored under the floor; folding the rear seats expands usable length and makes room for longer items.
Before listing the key points that influence the official luggage capacity and real-world use, consider the following:
- 60/40 split rear seats allow partial folding for longer items without sacrificing all passenger space.
- The presence of a full-size or space-saver spare can slightly alter the available boot floor area.
- Underfloor storage and floor height can affect how bulky items sit within the boot.
In practical terms, you can reliably fit several suitcases or a couple of large shopping trips in the BA Falcon's boot, with more space opening up when the rear seats are folded.
Practical loading tips
To get the most out of the boot, use the 60/40 rear seat split to accommodate long items like skis or guitars, and arrange lighter items on top of heavier ones to maintain stability during driving. Consider using storage bins or nets to keep items secure and prevent them from shifting during cornering.
- Utilize the split fold to balance passenger comfort with cargo needs.
- Pack heavy items low and at the back to improve handling and stability.
- Keep a compact emergency kit in an interior console to maximize boot space for larger items when needed.
With sensible loading, the BA Falcon's boot offers versatile cargo capability for a mid-2000s Australian family car.
Summary
The BA Ford Falcon sedan provides about 500 litres of boot space behind the rear seats, with practical loading options that improve when the rear bench folds. It's a competitive figure for a mid-2000s Australian family car, offering enough room for multiple suitcases and everyday cargo with flexible seating arrangements.
