Does an LT fit inside a Toyota Hiace van?
(LT board length = 365.6cm)

cheers,

The new model is shorter inside so u might need to specify year?

I feel your pain all manufacturers show a cargo area dimension but not dash to rear measurement

Current model, LWB load area length is 3180mm

Ford Transit, 350E, RWD,, Jumbo, 4256mm.

If that's true, he might get it in
I thought it was about 2350 or so for cargo area length?

EDIT - you mean SLWB ? If so, front seat forward will maybe add jusssttt enough

The LT wont fit inside a Toyota Hiace, but,
A Toyota Hiace will easily fit on top of an LT if you need to get the van across a river.
But you will find the Hiace to turn and handle a lot better than than a LT.
Hope this helps.

Probably needs to be an 80's car as that's when the LT was designed. (-;

just measured my Express ( knockoff Reanult trafic SWB ) 375cm , because there is a decent cavity under the passenger bench right to the firewall . 10G's cheaper than than a Hiace with 10 year warranty also.pwease considah

Thanks everyone for the measurements / advice etc.
Yeah, I had wondered if the SLWB might have been just long enough.

I'll keep reading the trolley thread for a while longer lol

PS: The express looks really great. I am a bit envious :) You should get yourself an LT to go with that, hotbodmon!

I used to be able to fit two 9'8" Bing Pintail Lightweight surfboards inside my Alfa Romeo 159 Ti Sedan as long as the fins were removed and with all seats laid down aside from the drivers seat and one rear passenger seat operating (split fold). I would expect fitting an LT (12'6") into a van would be child's play.I have seen the VW Transporter LWB used for the LT. Please report your findings when you test the van.

It's the size of a tree... you are lucky to fit onto the roof without having to attach a signal flag. I bet in years to come they will make shorter boards that are easier to transport... oh wait minute...

You would think by now , with space technology , they could make a long board in two parts . They did it with masts . And that was almost as cool as a clamp on boom .
I have to say , when I was 18 and my board and rolled up sail around the mast on the roof of my shaggin wagon , ( HQ station wagon , three on the tree , with paisley curtains that my mum made for me ) , was way cooler than all my gear now banging against my head inside my car .

Send me a longboard and I'll do it

Just bought roof bars for my car because it was getting to the point that it was either my gear or me in the car.

Yes a roof bar solution is the best, but will you ride 24/7 with a board on the roof?
