    Yes essentially Toyota makes that.
    I think you are simply looking to swap out your cargo area insert with a no-spare cargo insert.
    No knock-off version has yet come on the market.

    Perhaps you can find a cheap one in a wreck, or you could swap out with someone here who wants to go the other direction.

    Oh yes though, Gen3 was the king of cargo space *and* you also got space for a compact spare tire . Gen4 Toyota moved away from the classic bulbous Prius rear-end look, taking away some of that space.

This is the trunk. with foam pieces that it comes with and after I've taken out the pieces. Sorry didn't get pictures of how thick the pieces were, but the sides were close to 3 1/4 inches and at the deepest part, wheel well, is about 6 1/2 to 7 inches to make up for the empty well.

    I have quite a few tire repairs, and attempted tire repairs, under my belt from my local-garage mechanic and, later, construction days. This is why my L Eco now has a full sized spare.

    And for those who think a repair kit will be all they ever need ... try plugging or "gunking" this hole.

    (Due to the intensity of the traffic, I failed to get a picture of the tire that ripped itself to shreds at 80 mph on I-80 west of Omaha.)

    Maybe you've had all the replies you'll get. There have been quite a few similar requests over the almost 5 years I've been here - and everyone is trying to go the same way.

    The only option is probably a written-off vehicle in a wrecker/recycler.

    Or ask @Mambo Dave how he went about fitting in a FullSize spare.
