When the balance between passenger capacity and cargo space is at the top of your priority list, the full-size SUV is often the best choice. With seating for up to nine passengers and plenty of room for luggage, camping equipment, sports gear, and more—these vehicles offer a great solution to those with larger families or who frequently travel. Here are eight of the best full-size SUVs with the most cargo space.

1. Chevrolet Suburban

According to Chevrolet, the Suburban has been a stalwart of the full-size SUV class for over 80 years, and with good reason. The body-on-frame design offers a spacious three-row seating layout that accommodates up to eight passengers. The rear cargo space is enormous, with 41.5 cu-ft behind the third row and up to 93.8 cu-ft when the second row is down. Its maximum cargo capacity is a remarkable 144.7 cu-ft.

Towing capacity is also impressive, with the 355 hp 5.3-liter V8 capable of hauling up to 8,300 pounds when properly equipped.

Under the Jeep brand sits the new Grand Wagoneer, a large luxury SUV with a spacious interior, a cabin loaded with elegant finishes, customizable ambient interior lighting, and plenty of cargo space. The Grand Wagoneer is a three-row vehicle with seating for up to seven or eight passengers, depending on the configuration.

The Grand Wagoneer rear cargo area can handle up to 17.2 cu-ft behind the third row and up to 38.9 cu-ft with the second-row seats folded down. According to Car and Driver, it has a maximum tow rating of 9860 pounds, making it an excellent choice for those who need to haul large boats or trailers.

3. Jeep Wagoneer

The Jeep Wagoneer is a great option if you have more towing capacity and rugged off-road capability. This large truck-based SUV offers more than enough space for up to eight passengers and comes with a standard 5.7-liter V8 engine that produces 360 hp. That’s enough power to tow a maximum of 10,000 pounds on either rear- or four-wheel-drive variants.

The Wagoneer is also an exceptional choice for those who require a lot of cargo space, as it offers up to 27.4 cu-ft behind the third row and an impressive maximum cargo capacity of 116.7 cu-ft with the second row and back seat folded down.

4. Cadillac Escalade

The Cadillac Escalade is a huge, modern American SUV that has long served as the flagship for the luxury brand. It has sharp styling, an extensive list of advanced driver assistance technologies, and a powerful 6.2-liter V8 engine that produces 420 hp.

According to Cadillac, the Escalade is segment-leading in cargo space, with a maximum of 142.8 cu-ft behind the first row and up to 72.9 cu-ft in the second row folded down. With all seats in place, the Escalade still has plenty of room with 25.5 cu-ft available.

5. Toyota Land Cruiser two-row

Despite the Land Cruiser having three-row family-oriented configurations, the two-row adventure-focused model offers the most cargo space. The two-row Land Cruiser has a maximum of 53.5 cu-ft behind the second row, in contrast to the three-row model, which has a maximum of 41.4 cu-ft behind the third row. The SUV can tow up to 8,100 pounds, which is substantial for a vehicle of its size.

6. GMC Yukon

Like the slightly longer Chevrolet Suburban, the GMC Yukon is an excellent choice for those who need to transport a lot of cargo and tow large loads. It has more than enough space for up to nine passengers and comes with an impressive 6.2-liter V8 engine that produces 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque.

Behind the third row, the Yukon offers 25.5 cu-ft of cargo space and a maximum cargo capacity of 122.9 cu-ft when the second row is folded. For those who need to tow, the Yukon can pull up to 8,000 pounds when equipped with a 4WD and the 6.2-liter V8 engine.

7. Chevrolet Tahoe

The Chevrolet Tahoe is the smaller sibling of the Suburban but still offers a lot in terms of cargo capacity and towing power. It has three rows of seating for up to eight passengers and an optional, powerful, 6.2-liter V8 engine that produces 420 hp.

With a similar cargo capacity to the GMC Yukon, the Tahoe offers 25.5 cu-ft of cargo space behind the third row and 122.9 cu-ft with the second row folded down. The Tahoe can also tow up to 8,400 pounds when properly equipped and is an excellent choice for larger families who need to haul a lot of cargo.

8. Nissan Armada

The Nissan Armada is another great truck-based SUV that offers both luxury and practicality. It has a powerful 5.6-liter V8 engine that produces 390 hp and can tow up to 8,500 pounds when properly equipped.

The interior offers spacious room for up to eight passengers and provides a maximum cargo capacity of 92.6 cu-ft when the second and third rows are down. Behind the third row, the Armada still has up to 16.5 cu-ft of cargo space available.
