What's the biggest thing you stuffed into your Prius?

Damn..

Such storage space, gotta love it. I fit 6 cases of wine in there this past weekend, with room for plenty more (should have bought some!) :lol:

 

I went to the nursery and we got two 7 foot dogwoods, 4 - three foot tall potted plants, a hanging planter and 50 pounds of soil, with room for more

 

I fit 5 adult humans into mine! Granted, they are more flexible than most other types of cargo, and they also fit nicely into storage compartments designed specifically for them.

I also recently transported a 4'x6' painting that my wife is working on. She was worried before we got the Prius that she might not have enough space in the new car to transport her artwork for shows, but when we picked up the car she said "why didn't you tell me there's so much space inside?"

 

I carried 11-foot sections of quarter round. Just so you know, 11 feet is too long to fit in the Prius. 10.5 would have just barely fit, but I had to hang the sections out of the passenger window.

Over the past year or so I have hauled (on separate trips)
- 2 6-feet tall bookcases
- a free-standing kitchen cabinet
- an art-deco armoire
- an antique vanity with mirror, of course

I didn't think to take pictures. Next time I have something unusual or large or unusually large, I'll be sure to get a picture or two to share.

 

Just brought home my new 37" TV in it. With the back seats folded down it fit with lots of extra space.

 

I hauled a 50 gallon gas water heater with shipping box intact. The warehouse guy who helped me load it into the car was impressed.

Only if your wife doesn't read the posts.....

 

Looks like theblackpearl and I are on the smae page.

I was able to fit a 56 bottle wine fridge in the original box.

Mmmm Wine!

LOL!!! :lol: :lol:

I haven't had to fit anything too huge or impressive in the Prius yet~maybe that will change next month when I have to haul what I'm sure will be a BUNCH of stuff from my mom's to my place after my baby shower.

For a weeklong snowboarding trip earlier this year we were able to fit 3 snowboards + gear (3 pairs of boots, bindings, outerwear, etc), 2 oversized duffel bags, 1 smaller duffel bag, a full-sized ice chest, several bags of non-perishable groceries, a 24-pack flat of 24oz water bottles, 2 humans, 2 pillows, a laptop and a few other miscellaneous items. Only had to put down the larger 'half' of the rear seat to fit the longer items, so we could've fit one more human in the backseat if we'd needed to.

 

Me.


Ok, Evan, now you can do the mother-in-law joke.

When my husband was asked if our old Camry had air bags...he said

"Only when my wife and mother-in-law were with me."

Then he would add...

"They even made movies about my ex-wife and ex-mother-in-law...Jaws I and II."

See what my life is like????

I'm almost 6 feet tall...so I love it that I FIT!! comfortably, at that.

Brought home a bookcase yesterday....no problems fitting it in.

A secretary desk from Ashley Furniture - 36"W x 22"D x 45"H. It came in one box with the legs off and a bunch of styrofoam fitted to the case. The box JUST barely cleared the hatch opening, but once inside, I closed the hatch. I was ready and willing to toss the box and styrofoam at the store if necessary. It is about 1 mile from my house and no way was I going to pay a delivery charge. I also got a chair (actually 2, they were glad I was honest and returned the other) also in a box. The back and back legs are one piece, the two front legs were also separate from the seat. That box went in the front seat. No problems. Well, until I got home, that desk box weighed a TON! I backed the Prius up to the steps so I wouldn't have to lift the whole thing by myself. Then I dragged it into the house. I took all the drawers and inside dividers out before I lugged the case upstairs.

a full sized recliner, 6 packing boxes, 5 large shopping bags (since they were moldable), and a kayak on the roof... oh, and the front seats were empty, save me and my dog

 

Like Narf I fit a 37" TV still in the box in my Prius with PLENTY of room to spare.

I also fit my friend's goalie gear, my hockey gear, and our hockey sticks by putting the middle and right seat down. I slide his bag of hockey gear (he has a ton of gear) up the folded down seats and I put my hockey gear in the back area. I slide our hockey sticks over all of our gear.
