So yeah, you're standing next to your car looking at all of the cargo and thinking to yourself "awww hell naww" this is NOT going to fit. **5 Minutes of Tetris Skill later....** It all fits and you didn't have to move your seat.

Ever have one of those moments?

Agree, I was totally amazed when I put in a 18 CFT refrigerator at one time, than a wall-in gas oven in originally package box. Had to move the two front seats up several inches, but we got them in. You might have a hard time to fit any one of these two into a common SUV.

Recently I got a coffee table and two end tables in there. Not small furniture and the legs remained on. Also easily fit 8' studs another time- hatch closed. 95% of the time my fit is a car and then once in a while it becomes this amazing....truck! LOL!

Last year I was able to fit a sofa bed inside with hatch closed. It came in 3 packages, the largest being about 79" x 30" x 5". I managed to squeeze that in and still had room for the ex-girlfriend to sit in the back.

55" tv!

Samsung 6050 LCD 55" TV in the box! Standing upright (as it should for shipping). Just had to move the passenger seat forward about 3/4 way.

Believe it or not, it would NOT fit in our 2010 CR-V because of the way those seats fold!

FIT for the win

Talking 36" prehung door & Camera Equipment

I've managed to stuff a full size prehung door in my Fit when I was finishing my basement and also managed to fit all my wife's camera equipment in back for a photo gig. Less impressively but equally awesome, I managed to transport 8' sections of Schedule 40 PVC conduit when I was building our barn. It did have to stick out the window some...

Two extra thick padded queen size futon mattresses. Had to compress them ever slightly to close the hatch but they "Fit".

BTW - I've seen many other threads here the same as this one. Too bad they can't all get combined and then sticky'ed. I love seeing these photos of a packed out Fit and it would be nice not having to search all over for them.
