i'm trying to debate between something like an S-10 or the XB. obviously the XB is cooler, but question is - can i haul a dirt bike with it at all? i've searched and there doesnt appear to be any hitch receivers available (yet). can someone please tell me how tall the cargo area is from floor to roof, and how long from the back door to the back of the front seats? i've only peeked inside one very briefly and cant remember if it's big enough to roll a dirt bike in the back or not. thanks in advance for the info!

 

No towing with the xB. The owners manual says it's a no-no.
And, no, a bike won't fit inside.
Remember, it's like a Toyota Echo, only taller.

 

i understand "no towing" but there are "bike haulers" (not trailers) that fit in a receiver hitch, basically just adding 250lbs to the back of the vehicle. but anyway...thanks for the info!

 

Nothing that just bolts on. You'd have to fabricate something. But some people have done it...

 

I'm curious about the dimensions of the cargo bay as well. Could someone please measure the width of the widest point of the 'gate hole'. I imagine its not quite 4 feet wide, though I had hopes to somehow carry 4x8 sheets around occasionally with the lift left up. Sounds ghetto I know, so I'll probably get a rack instead.

Still, would be nice to know how wide the back is, and how tall while anyones at it!

THANKS!!!

 

Here are some measurements.

Rear opening at widest points: 45.75" wide x 35" high

Distance between rear strut towers: 38"

Distance from closed hatch to back of front seats with seats all the way forward: 63.5"

Distance from closed hatch to back of front seats with seats all the way back: 57"

Distance from roof to folded rear seats: 33"

Distance from closed hatch to the back of the passenger side dash cubby: 98"

Distance from closed hatch to the closest part of the dash: 93"

 

VERY helpful info. Thanks so much for taking the time to make those measurements!
