Default Length of Cargo area with seats folded down?

I can't for the life of me find this number.

Anyone know the length of the cargo area with the seats folded down?

Won't that depend on how far back the front seats are adjusted?

I guess it would, lol. I've never actually seen the seats folded down, so not sure if the center console would effect that at all.

Basically I just need to know if I would I be able to get a 73"' table top in there?

It is 73" long, by 36" wide, by 1 inch width.

Hopefully someone can.....

I'm asking because I am actually thinking of getting rid of My IS350, and starting to gather a list of what's out there.

Hence the need to find this number, without having to jump in the back at the dealer, and lay down flat and pretend to be a table. lol.

No contractor of any kind that I know of would ever rely on measurements taken by another person, and certainly not by an anonymous stranger on the internet. You know the table and you measured it. You have three choices: take your tape measure to a dealership; they will be glad to let you measure the cargo area. 2: You must have a friend with an RX 300 or 350; everybody does; the cars are all over the place. 3: Just ask a friendly stranger in the mall parking lot on Saturday if you can measure his trunk (be careful how you phrase this). Again, the parking lot will be full of RX300s and 350s, and most people love to talk about their cars to people who are interested in acquiring one of their own.
But do it yourself so you both do it right and also have no one to blame when the table won't fit.

Is this a real question?
Never have known of anyone basing a vehicle purchase on if it will be able to have a table fit in it. It can't be a daily thing to transport it, can it??

For a one time transport why not rent a van, truck, etc. for a day??

Well, the table isn't the only reason. I now have 2 kids.... where as when I bought my car I had 0, and the plan was to wait a couple more years.... whoops. lol. So that is kind of a bigger consideration.

It will be my daily commuter, the equipment will be moved monthly... sometimes less sometimes more, but I can't afford to rent a truck or van every time it needs to move. I also can't exactly leave my wife for a whole day or two without a car she can transport the kids in--- hence the real reason I want to get rid of my IS.

We have a Tahoe also, but if I'm looking for a crossover type vehicle, I may as well get something useful to me.
