I gotta pick something up tmrw that is roughly 74 inches. will I be able to fit it from the trunk into the cabin?

 

No, because you can't fold the rear seats down.

 

its not fat its like a bar. its just hella long....

 

"thats what she said..."

but really, im sure it will fit. just push the little door open.

 

Haha,^ that's what she said...Measuring tape helps. Just dont over-measure like most of us probably do

 

Haha. As long is it isn't bigger than the opening then it should be fine. Opening between the seats that it.

 

hahaha just stick it in the back seat all the way to the front seat and open the window to the front stickin it out.

 

slide it through the middle and out the passenger window if u need more room

 

didnt want to take the chance so I borrowed the womans highlander, after seeing it, it would have fit. might have made the car dirty though, so im glad I took her SUV.

 

Ya I was bummed out when I found out you cant fold the rear seat down!! Hell my Old g35 's seats.would fold down wtf

 

^ Me too, but it's apparently designed that way for safety.

 

Not having the seats fold down adds quite a bit of rigidity back there.

Have a hard time believing that one.........
Funny how every other leading manufacturer can build a safe car with fold down seats, but not Lexus....

Cost cutting is about the only reason that actually makes sense for this annoying flaw...

Cost cutting: I kind of doubt it. Even Yaris has fold down seats. Most Toyotas do. The Lexus IS, GS, and even the LS do not have folding rear seats. Even the Lexus ES, which shares the chassis with the Camry, does not have rear folding seats. The Camry does. What does the ES have instead? Sound insulation.

Take the old Corolla for example (2003-2008) they all had fold down seats, except the XRS, which did not. Toyota added bracing to stiffen the chassis and dropped the fold down seats.

I'm not sure I buy the safety angle, but increased chassis rigidity and noise reduction are the only things that makes sense to me.

ugh seriously I TOTALLY didnt think about transporting anything I didnt even know the seats didnt go down until after I had the hwip a couple weeks ... I can fit more stuff in my lil 4 door civic ... oh well, thats the only thing I found that bothered me about the car. Def not a deal breaker!!!
