Post Request - R-Class cargo area dimensions

I'm considering an R350 and would love to know what the dimensions of the cargo area are, with the 3rd row seats folded flat.

Specifically looking for:

- Interior floor to ceiling height
- Length of floor from back of 2nd row seat (adjusted to midpoint, not all the way forward or all the way back) to the end of the cargo area
- Width of floor between the wheel wells

Hoping someone could measure 'em out real quick and post 'em up!

Thanks guys!!

Floor to ceiling-33" (middle of the cargo area) the opening is only 30"
width between wheel wells-44"
2nd row to back hatch-42"
My R has the 3rd row so the last measurement was taken from the folded up 3rd seat to rear. Moving the 2nd row seat to middle position would make no difference.

Thank you so much for the dimensions - that's really great of you!

Using your measurements, I made this little graphic to help visualize it.

Let me know if it needs to be corrected:

And thank you again, for taking the time to make the measurements!

From one Max to another, thanks for this info. I need bigger (but want nicer) than my CX-7, also looking seriously at an R.

I'm going to throw my girth around in here as well. I didn't measure my R before I threw a maytag washer and dryer in the back to the amazement of those gathered nearby.
Hi Maxes!
