This has been asked before, but I don't see any answers on the forum...can anyone tell me what the cargo length is of a 2004 Discovery with the seats folded down? I've got a big synthesizer case that's 62" long and I'm hoping it doesn't crush my dream of owning a land rover...
Also, wikipedia says 53", but that seems very short.

 

get a roof rack!!

 

I thought about that, but the equipment I'm loading weighs 95 pounds, and there doesn't seem to be an easy way to get it up each time.

 

I measured it - 54 inches from the cargo pocket on the rear door to the hinges on the back seats when folded up. You might want to look at a Tahoe.

 

Many thanks!!!

 

Gilder -- can one rest stuff on top of the folded-up seats? If it's 54 inches to the hinge, then isn't there an extra couple of feet till the back of the driver's seat? (I hope I've understood you correctly) Thanks in advance!

 

depending on the width, you might be able to get away with putting the passenger seat up all of the way in the forward position. that should afford you several extra inches.

 

The load floor is 54 inches from the tailgate to the back seat hinges, meaning the point where the back seats fold forward and rest against the back of the front seats. Moving the passenger seat forward does not change the dimension of the load floor, it merely allows the seat to pivot forward slightly. There is no way to get a 62 inch case in there without having it rest on top of the seats, which would be dangerous. If you want a Rover that can carry this, look for one of the old LWB models.

 

Got it. Thanks again!!!
