Buck capacity of Hilux MK4 single cab

[Acer Forestry]

Does anyone know offhand what the answer is to the above? With firewood I usually just sell in bulk bags, so 0.6 cube roughly - but would like to know what my pickup actually holds in a level load.

Whats the internal dimensions, then we can work it out

Length x width x height will give you the overall capacity. You'll then need to do a rough measure up of the arches ( again length,width and height) and just minus it from the top figure

From memory, LxWxH between the arches is 1 cubic metre, and the area around the arches accounts for roughly 0.3 cube.

1.2 level, less the wheel arches. I have the same truck and sell my firewood in 1.2 cube loads

Agree

Ok, cheers people. I think possibly some log sellers round my way are getting confused, showing images like a pic of a double cab L200 with a level load buck and saying "1.2 / 1.4 cube load"

[Woodworks]

Yes there are log sellers up and down the land that get "confused" with load size.

 

Got a mate who runs a double cab Ranger reckons he can get 2m3 in it when loaded right up to the top of the canopy.

I just had a measure of my double cab ranger and came to 0.85 cube minus the arches. Less than I was thinking, a heaped load should be about a cube though right?

[nepia]

Comparing different makes and models is fraught with danger but my Kingcab Navara has a buck capacity of almost exactly 1m³ allowing for the arches. By selling a slightly heaped load I'm sure not to short sell.

So .85m³ in a double cab buck would sound OK.

 

Shape makes a difference; a cube in the pickup is more than a cube in an IBC cage!
