The typical Chevy SUV cargo space is generous, but if you’ve got a lot to pack in, you need to adopt a strategic approach. By using the right cargo management accessories to suit your needs, it’s possible to maximize the space to fit even more.
Adopt a Methodical Approach
If you have a lot of cargo that you want to fit in your Chevy, it’s advisable to plan how you will use the space before you start. If you place the heavier items in first, it creates a stable base and helps with weight distribution. You can then pack smaller items in the available space to take full advantage of the cargo area.
Fold Down the Rear Seats
If you don’t need the rear seats for passengers, you can fold them down for extra cargo space. Many Chevy SUVs have folding split bench seats in the back that can fold down independently. Folding one or both of the rear seats down creates a large, wide cargo area that’s perfect for large or long items such as bikes or furniture.
Use Hidden Compartments
Some models have additional compartments that are hidden in the floor or side pockets. These can often be found toward the back of the vehicle, close to the rear liftgate area for convenient access. Lockable storage containers make it possible to use these spaces to hold more valuable items out of sight without any clutter in the cabin.
Consider Roof Storage
Extra-large items such as kayaks or camping gear might not easily fit inside the car, especially if you have other bulky items like luggage. Many Chevy SUVs have integrated roof rails that make it easy to attach a roof rack. Items stored on the roof free up space inside the vehicle and keeps dirty or messy equipment outside.
Explore Available Accessories
There are a number of Chevrolet accessories that make the cargo space even more functional. Options include cargo nets, liners, trays, and organizers that make it possible to divide the cargo space in different ways. Other available accessories include cargo shelves with dividers, storage bags, and cargo shades that protect the items from direct sunlight.
Secure Cargo Properly
The final step is to ensure that all the items are properly secured. This allows the full space to be used while also ensuring that nothing gets crushed or damaged. Additional straps, tie-down hooks, or storage containers prevent items from sliding around and allow tall items to be carried without toppling over.
