If you take out the "Comfort Box" you probably can fit three...

To answer the OP question, there is space below the floor in the spare tire well to store a few things. I wrap a set of jumper cables around the circumference of the spare tire. And I store a 2016psi compressed air bottle and tire fill whip in the space next to the Aux. Battery. Sometimes I substitute a 12v compressor when the bottle is low on air.

Like 212swe, I have a folded yard waste bag to contain a messy tire if I have a flat. Finally, I keep a couple pair of latex gloves in there, too. (I have car problems only when I'm wearing a nice suit.)

Above the flooring, I keep a folded towel to drape over the bumper when loading luggage. I also store my California Duster back there. That's it.

1. Half used FW1 Fastwax can with a few M.Fiber cloths. and a Small room Freshener can.
2. High viz vest and Big first-aid kit.
3. MB milk crate (one of the SA gave while returning the loaner vehicle).
4. Window and Windshield Cleaning Sponge and Rubber Squeegee. I may need to buy that plastic de-icer to scape off the ice that is accumulating these days.
5. Spare tire MB gave (I need to fill air in that).
6. Small water bottle with tap water to clean hands when needed.
7. Winter gloves, beanie cap for me and my wife. One throw. Small airline pillow inside the vehicle already.

Inside of the car got few brand new throws that I give it to homeless people when I see them. Sorry, I don't give out money, I used to give gift cards to subway or taco bell etc. Forgot to buy toilet kits for them this year.

Other than what the factory put back there, I have a small dog bed I put in the back seat for the smaller dog to sit on so he can see more easily out the windows. Also a couple pairs of thin vinyl gloves and one pair of heavy work gloves. During the winter months, a combination snow brush and ice scraper.

Also a small microfiber towel and a larger cotton towel because towels are just massively useful. “A towel, [The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy] says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker [and car owner -fc3] can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-boggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough."
