I have an Igloo electric cooler that we use for our Costco trips. It sits about 24" high and I know it won't fit in the back unless I fold the seats down to move it forward a little.
Those black storage bins with the yellow lids that Costco sells fit in the back with the rear seats up.
Correct, I'm 5' 11" but like to feel within easy reach of the dash so middle of the range. I have not yet tried getting my 71" front wheel to back wheel dimension bicycle in there, along with my wife's folding 20" wheel'd e-bike. The loss of use of the Saris Bones rear hatch slung bike rack on my 2009 Prius has put an unexpected stop to our bicycling trips.
