Default Cargo Length with Second Row Flat

I tried the search function first but struck out. Can anyone tell me the length in inches from the back of the front seats to the end of the cargo area? I understand this will vary a little based on driver seat position. I'm in my preliminary stages of GX shopping.

I have unfolded corrugated boxes that I need to transport. They are approximately 76" long. If they won't fit inside, I'm hoping to find a waterproof roof carrier that would work. A stack of these boxes would be maybe 6 to 8 inches tall, 76" long and roughly 36" wide.

Thanks for any feedback

I just brought home a new TV that was in a box that was 74 inches long and 44 inches wide. With the seats flat and the front two all the way forward, it fit and went in flat. You’d be hard pressed or very short to get anything longer to fit in.

Like Piney1.. Picked up a great deal on a 77" LG OLED from Costco, and had to do the same as him to get it to fit. Wasn't a fun drive home at all lol ( @ 5'11 and 190lbs )

Thanks M5rahul I'll need to come up with plan B for hauling these boxes if I wind up in the GX.

you can gain a couple of inches if you put a slope underneath. I have a thin board with some small feet at one end, like a ramp. if you have the high part at the rear then you could add a lot of length because you can go pretty high.

True on this approach for adding lenggth but just don’t make any sudden stops if it ain’t strapped in place.
