Best Toyota SUV for 8x4 plywood? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I'm working on a home and would like to find a luxurious, reliable vehicle for work and hauling building supplies, so I would like a vehicle that'll fit 8x4 drywall without getting 10mpg.

So here's my question: what's toyota/lexus SUV will fit 8x4 plywood? Would it fit in a 4Runner with the back seats folded down?

i'm considering a 4Runner, anyone know if 8x4s will fit? According to specs from MSN Autos they're not much bigger than a RX300

1999 4Runner
1999 RX300

and members of the Lexus forum have already said 8x4s wont fit in a RX300 but the 4Runner looks much bigger than a RX300 so I'd like to hear from a 4Runner owner.

If the 4Runner wont work guess i'll have to get a Tundra or Tacoma, but I'd prefer a SUV.

Another solution would be to get a utility trailer.

The only SUV that would handle that would be a Sequoia.
The 4Runner would be able to handle maybe 1 or 2 pieces of plyewood if you put them inside at an angle, but they wouldnt lay flat.

another option is to put the plywood on the roof rack.

(or simply rent the Home Depot or Lowes truck for $19 /75 minutes)
