5 SUVs with the Most Cargo Space

The Ford Expedition is the sole Blue Oval product here. Now that the massive Excursion is no longer made (with a whopping 146 cubic feet of cargo space), the SUV cargo hauling duties fall to the excellent Excursion. Not only is packed with great features like seating for up to 8, the remarkably quick and easy SYNC 4 infotainment system in a 12 or 15.5-inch touchscreen, and Ford Co-Pilot360 driver assist technology, but it also provides a substantial 36 cubic feet behind row three, 79.6 cubes behind row two, and 121.4 cubes of total cargo space.

The Suburban is Chevy's big boy, and there's no mistaking it for anything else. With room for eight and the kind of cargo space that puts everyone else to shame, the Suburban doesn't shy away from hauling duties. It also tows up to 7,800 pounds of heft. Power ranges from 277 in the diesel all the way up to 420 in the 6.2-liter V8. Inside, you'll find a substantial 41.5 cubic feet behind row three, 93.8 cubes behind row two, and a whopping 144.7 cubic feet of total cargo space.

The Yukon XL is the sibling to the Chevy Suburban, but it's more regal inside. You can still bring eight occupants and a slew of gear, as well. It also tows up to 7,800 pounds and provides 277 horsepower in the diesel and 420 in the 6.2-liter V8. The cargo space matches the Suburban with 41.5 cubic feet behind row three, 93.8 cubes behind row two, and a whopping 144.7 cubic feet of total cargo space.

If you don't need something as big as the Suburban or the Tahoe XL, the Tahoe will do more than fine. It's smaller and easier to drive than either of the two bigger GM siblings, and there's still a fancy cabin. Behind the third-row seat is 25.5 cubic feet of cargo space, which expands to 72.6 cubic feet with row two folded down and 122.9 cubic feet all-in.

The Yukon is a GMC product that's actually less expensive than its Chevy sibling, which is surprising. We recommend the mid-grade SLT because it comes with heated/ventilated leather front seats, 20-inch wheels, a power liftgate, and great driver-assistance features. You can also choose between a 5.3- or 6.2-liter V8 engine or a turbo-diesel 3.0-liter inline-six. Behind the third-row seat is 25.5 cubic feet of cargo space, which expands to 72.6 cubic feet with row two folded down and 122.9 cubic feet with the seats folded flat.
