Good Greif , just use a tape measure and measure the opening your self and you will have your answer.

 

If I had the means to do that at this moment I would.

Good grief, what is the point of a forum if you can't ask a question of someone that might already know the answer.

 

You're asking someone to make a measurement for you because you're too lazy to do it yourself? I change an hourly rate ($85 USD) and round up to the full hour. What is wrong with you that you can't do it? Broken hands? Are you blind? Will need answers before I draw up the contract for you to sign...

 

It'd probably fit laying down, but I own a truck, so I've never used my HL for that type of cargo.

 

Something those dimensions would probably fit in our Prius v wagon so surely it would fit in your Highlander. You might want to place it on its side and maybe use padding to keep from damaging it or your interior. Those suckers are heavy and not easy to pick up.

Here's a thread where a couple of people have measured: https://www.toyotanation.com/forum/...com/forum/333-highlander-3rd-generation-2014-2019/1644752-cargo-area-width.html

I've witnessed two parking lot "emergencies" in the last year in which people bought flat screen TV's at Walmart and Costco that wouldn't fit in their vehicles. Neither accepted my offer to transport their TV's to their homes in my Sienna ... maybe they were embarrassed or thought I might abscond with their TV's.

 

This is interesting. I know my flat screen would not fit in my Highlander, so I'm thinking how the hell would I get a new one home from Costco. My son bought one and he said he transported it flat which is against the box warning which says to always transport upright. I asked a Costco guy when I observed that they stocked some models piled like 5 or 6 high FLAT. He said it is OK to transport flat if the screen is down, and then I did notice the boxes have an arrow pointing toward the "front". I don't know what the correct answer is. Sorry for a little too much off topic.

 

The sheet metal used on these modern day appliances is pretty thin. So I'm thinking, yeah, they will fit. A little persuasion may be needed, but shouldn't be too difficult.

 

in the box, no...out the box, likely.

 

I had to measure mine yesterday for something that I wanted to haul.

Height is 31" width is 44"

 

Trade it for a van and let this serve as a lesson to buy something that will fit a washing machine in future, I really don't know what Toyota is thinking selling these vehicles that won't suit all customer expectations....

 

I think you might have a problem with reading comprehension. No where in his post was he COMPLAINING about Toyota or anything!

Also, I've joined in a lot of forums but this is one of the ones that have a lot of smart ass people posting.

 

get a friend with a truck, or rent a small u haul trailer, or pay seller to deliver

 

Thanks to those that responded in the spirit that these forums are meant.

 

These forums are all about helping other Toyota owners with most aspects of their vehicle. Lord knows I've gotten some great info here. Please don't delude yourself into thinking TN is a substitute for a tape measure and 5 seconds worth of measuring.

 

lol dontcha just love it....


anyways I just picked up 30x80 door in frame and it requires a 32" RO and would NOT fit by 2 inches, so if the washer is the size you say it is (and likely out of all packing, it will fit

 

2 months ago I bought a barn door kit at Costco. Box size was 85" X 41" and with the front seats all the way forward, the door in box fit with rear door closed, and I'm 6' 2" and drove 10 miles with steering wheel in chest and top of head against sun visor.

 

I would be VERY leery of hauling a washer or dryer on it's side. What's going to happen to the drum?

 

Very likely. . . Nothing.
Unless it has been used, then you might have some residual water running out onto and spoiling the carpets.

 

It should fit if you haven’t done it already. I brought home a LG 30” electric stove home. It was a super snug fit from the roof due to the sunroof on my XLE, door closed and no issue with anything else.

 

I needed to bring home some stuff from homedepot, measurements showed it would not fit in the highlander, so I hired a van for 25 an hour, when I got out to the van it was full of packaging from the previous renter, I ended up getting the van for no cost. On another occasion I fit large boxes from IKEA in the vehicle but I had checked the packing dimensions online first, so I didn't end up trying to get stuff in that won't fit or will damage the vehicle.Know what your vehicle can carry.Having had the RAV4 which could take surprisingly bulky items, the HL takes similar items even easier and it has noticeable extra payload capacity as heavy items have less effect. The only area that it may lack on the RAV4 is rear opening height as the folded 3rd row impacts this. I will say that you should add about an inch to each dimension as vehicle interiors are curved an this will guarantee a fit.

 

Trying to check rear opening measurements online for our 2016 Highlander and coming up with a blank.

Does anyone have opening dimensions or know if a washer or dryer will fit in the back?

Washer is 27" wide, 29" deep and 43" high.

Yep, but no room for folding and drying racks.
