Plywood Sheets

[syadasti]

I've heard this for the 2020 Explorer, but never for the Telluride. Is it true or is the author just mixed up:

"All the back seats fold flat to open up enough space for a big stack of 4x8 sheets of plywood, the metric of practicality now among large vehicles. "

Also a notable bit of info if true:

“Kia's Telluride rides on a tight-and-tidy Sonata unibody chassis, like its platform twin the Hyundai Palisade.”

I measured the interior of a Telluride with both rows of seats down, and it measures 84” to the back of the front seats. Width at narrowest was 44”, but if you move to the top of the interior wheel wells it’s 48”.

so if you loaded plywood diagonally it would fit , the width of the hatch would be narrower

FYI a full sheet won't fit in an Expedition lengthwise unless the front seats are moved all the way up. Clever marketing.

Specifically stated with the seats folded flat but the space between the wheel wells is sufficient unlike most competitors. This is the 2020 Explorer, not the Expedition.

It’s slightly larger than anything else in midsized 3 rows and it’s wheelbase is around 5” longer too at 119”.

Much more expensive than it’s competitors and likely not worth it for it’s small advantages elsewhere other than the powerful drivetrains (great for cop cars but not too relevant for family haulers).
