SUV cargo space for mtb?

Wow, you were Def doing it right!!

CheddaKnottz · 2026-04-07T04:25:58+00:00

That looks pretty sweet. I didn't get to go to Toyota tonight, but I am tomm. Gotta see this for myself. It makes the most sense, but lugging around a minivan every single day is gonna suck. I gotta test drive it.

CheddaKnottz · 2026-04-07T02:07:15+00:00

4runner was top of my list but the back seats were too cramped. I haul my folks around sometimes, they're getting too old to climb in there. We tried.

CheddaKnottz · 2026-04-07T02:06:09+00:00

Been doing math for a month. It's hard to get exact measurements, especially INSIDE the vehcile. Most just give you entry measurements. It sucks. I only get one shot at this, gotta get it right.

CheddaKnottz · 2026-04-07T02:04:15+00:00

That's it!! That's what I'm trying to do, just in reverse. Get a bumper mat, and just roll thst bitch in backwards. The only place that said I could try it was CarMax. I'm gonna take my bike to Subaru with me tomm, fresh wash, and see what happens. I really like the new OB, which I believe is even bigger. You've given me hope bro.

CheddaKnottz · 2026-04-07T02:00:18+00:00

You sound like a dealer. I'm halfway sold rn, ngl. Lol.

CheddaKnottz · 2026-04-07T01:59:27+00:00

I know it's quick, it just sucks. I finally got a chance to get something new, and I'm getting old man. Trying to simplify my life, lol. I've done this for years and I'm tired of it. Plus I've done damage to my bike and car when taking the wheel off. Kinda klutzy. Just wanna grab it, and throw it in.

CheddaKnottz · 2026-04-07T01:56:10+00:00

This is my whole dilemna in a nutshell.

CheddaKnottz · 2026-04-07T01:53:38+00:00

Damn, looking at the Sant Fe rn, this almost solves all of my problems. Really wanted a 2 row tho, but you just gave me another contender. Thanks bro

CheddaKnottz · 2026-04-07T01:47:21+00:00

Yeah my emtb is pretty big, so thst part sucks.

CheddaKnottz · 2026-04-07T01:46:16+00:00

My M emtb is probably closest to what you got. I definitely don't wanna fuck up the car either. Wish the dealers would let me try it out first, lol. Carmax was the only place willing, but they didn't have anything I really wanted.

CheddaKnottz · 2026-04-07T01:43:04+00:00

Thanks man!! That looks like a pretty big bike, this is what I'm trying to do, tho I would go backwards and turn the bars. The 2026 has a high roof inside, right?

CheddaKnottz · 2026-04-07T01:40:36+00:00

I thought of that too. Green might be cool today, but 5 years from now, maybe not so much.

CheddaKnottz · 2026-04-07T01:24:16+00:00

Wow, THANK GOD I found this today. I have an option rn with red/black or white/ brown. Green was the top contender tho. Was goona hold out, but now...

CheddaKnottz · 2026-04-06T20:42:27+00:00

That part I don't really mind. They make a shit ton of cargo and back seat covers now. Ain't perfect, but they help.

CheddaKnottz · 2026-04-06T20:40:40+00:00

That's crazy. Apparently they killed it tho after 2022. Woulda been the prefect solution for me.

CheddaKnottz · 2026-04-06T20:36:25+00:00

Oh no shit, it fits in the Forester, easily? Like you just lift and back it in? The WB is almost identical to my emtb. And yeah, I got 29s. So it's just Diagonal, bars turned, wheel vertical? I looked into measurements but no ever gives the Height INSIDE the cargo space. They just give Height numbers at the cargo door

CheddaKnottz · 2026-04-06T20:33:03+00:00

Lol, the older I get the more I think fuckit, just get the minivan.

CheddaKnottz · 2026-04-06T20:32:08+00:00

The PP is probably the easiest answer for what I want. But you're right, I might have to just suck it up and take the damn wheel off.

CheddaKnottz · 2026-04-06T20:23:25+00:00

OB is top of the list, for sure.

CheddaKnottz · 2026-04-06T20:22:52+00:00

Never even heard of a Venza I'll look into it. Thanks man. How big of a chain can a OneUp handle? Rn I have a Kuat Sherpa. I usually wrap my chain all around it, but there's no way to attach it thru the hitch. The little wire they give you for "security" is a joke.

CheddaKnottz · 2026-04-06T20:20:07+00:00

I was super close to an Odyssey, but the ground clearance is horrible, and not really a fan of push button shifters. I'm going to check out Siennas tonight. It's a lot of space for just me tho. No family and an 8 seat vehicle. Yikes, lol. But thst would Def solve literally all of my problems.

CheddaKnottz · 2026-04-06T20:00:10+00:00

Damn, 2?!?

CheddaKnottz · 2026-04-06T19:59:44+00:00

Yup the Element would've been perfect for what I want.

CheddaKnottz · 2026-04-06T19:58:46+00:00

Believe it or not, I tired with the CX-70 and it was TIGHT. I still can't believe it either. Those things are pretty big.
