SUVs and crossovers with the biggest trunk

When mentioning the large trunk, the first thing that comes to mind is the association with SUVs. Next to them there are also full-sized crossovers, not much inferior in dimensions. Here are the best cars of this type, whose luggage compartment allows you to carry large items.

Ford Excursion

Rating: 4.9

This car is considered the largest of Ford’s SUVs. The model was produced from 1999 to 2005. The prototype of a jeep is the pickup of the same brand – F250 Super Duty. There are two versions with rear or all-wheel drive. “The Ford Excursion is indeed the car with the largest trunk, as it has a capacity of 1,359 liters. Two rows of seats are used in the cabin. Modern crossovers are able to dedicate such volume for luggage if only the second row is folded down. In Ford’s case, folding the second row gives 4,145l. According to some owners’ reviews, they managed to carry even a wardrobe in it.

We found the car to be the best because of the ease of loading. The rear door, or more precisely the doors, have several swinging options. The upper part rises on hydraulic cylinders, allowing to put the bags or packages over the board. When you want to put equipment or furniture in the trunk, the lower edge opens to the sides to form two small doors. If you have a bulky load, you can leave one of the flaps open to let an out of place item stick out, instead of driving with the trunk fully open.
