A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
How much cargo space do I need for a family road trip?
For a family of four on a week-long road trip, expect to need at least 30-40 cubic feet of cargo space with all seats in use. Most midsize SUVs offer 35-40 cubic feet behind the second row with seats up, which covers a typical family's luggage comfortably. If you are packing for 5-7 passengers in a 3-row vehicle, cargo space behind the third row drops to 15-21 cubic feet in most midsize SUVs, which is tight for more than a weekend trip. A cargo carrier or roof box is a common solution, though it reduces fuel efficiency. A vehicle with a large, flat load floor when seats are folded is more practical than one with a larger raw number that includes awkward wheel well intrusions.

Another five star experience!!! This is the 3rd car I’ve purchased through David and the crew at Vantage. No hassle, no bait and switch, no high pressure sales tactics or incessant follow up phone calls like with a traditional dealership. A few phone conversations with David, and he finds the car you want, with the trim package you want, at the best possible price. Delivery is convenient and the crew are always the constant professionals, taking the time to go over vehicle features and getting you setup to go…. Cant say enough.

David Wagoner was referred to me by a co-worker. All I can say is wow. We were under a tight timeline to purchase a vehicle, and from our initial interaction late Thursday afternoon through the delivery of our vehicle Monday afternoon, David and Vantage Auto Group were transparent, quick, and provided excellent customer service throughout! Strongly recommend!
