unlimited cargo capacity

Yesterday I needed to haul some lumber for my deck build. Even with the back seats down our Jeep Cherokee wouldn't take 6ft posts. Cordless impact and 5min later the Maxima was taking even 10ft boards with the trunk closed.

haha... me and some friends chose my maxima over his Ford Explorer (those extra big ones) to go buy his new bunk bed. we had like 3 or 4 big long boxes and we fit them all the exact same way you fit that wood. AND there was still enough room in the back that both of my friends could still sit back there with the boxes without feeling like sardines in a can.

if you keep folding you can get it so small that you can take it with you in your backpack or whatnot.

I have a huge amprack in the trunk so I couldn't do that, but here's how BlehmCo got tubing before I bought a truck to haul crap in...

It sucks not have a folding rear seat. I have a sub in the way so the pass through is useless now. I still managed to fit a 10' pvc pipe in the car though.

The seat do fold flat though!

I think protection and blankets would apply to Andrew's reply

Pretty clever.

I miss my truck sometimes. I especially missed it the night I broke my moonroof deflector because I had some shoe moulding sticking up through the roof and when I tied down the front to my front bumper, it cracked the damn thing. I looked like such a goober driving down the road with that crap coming out of my roof.

Here's my best so far




lugged 4 wheels, 4 separate tires and a passenger about 200 miles without folding a single seat

Family sedan FTW..
