Hey everyone! I'm considering a Honda Passport, but I'd like to know the length of the cargo area from the back of the front seats to the tailgate. I'm 6'2" and sometimes sleep in my vehicle when I'm on long solo road trips, and I just want to know if I could comfortably sleep back there. I'm surprised I can't find the information online, I can't be the only one who does this sort of thing lol ?

I haven’t measured it but one of my test during my car shopping was laying down in the back. I’m 5’9” and fit. At your height you would either need to pull the back seat all they way forward and fill in the canyon it creates, or make an extension. There’s a guy on YouTube that has his PP setup for over landing and he shows what he did. Essentially, a piece of plywood he secures to the passenger seat headrest with rope. I’ll post a link later if I can find the video.

Nice! Thanks for the info. I guess I would fit if I slept diagonally, and curl up my legs a bit if necessary. I wish I could get out to a dealer and just check for myself, but I live in a very rural area.

Hope that link works. Believe he said he is 6’1”. Maybe it was another guy that posted the board mod. It’s just plywood with 2 holes in it. A rope is placed through each hole forming a loop secured by knots on the underside. Loop is measured so when resting on the edge of the back seat it is supported on the other side by putting the loop around the headrest metal bars. Hope that makes sense. Some good videos of the PP off-roading albeit with a lift and aftermarket wheel and tires.

Room to sleep in the back was a key reason I chose the Passport. See this thread for more info on my setup for sleeping in the back. Bottom line is that there should be enough room for you (I fit a 77 inch pad with a few inches to spare).

Interesting camping box on the roof!

Has anyone tried this option?

I measured 66” from the rear lift gate to the edge of the top of the back seat when folded. That doesn’t include 2-3” for the headrest that stick up. I’m sure sliding the back seat toward the front by an inch or two wouldn’t be that noticeable. I think you would definitely need an extension. An easy one like a box in the rear seat floorboard or similar would be easy. Beer cooler with a few folded blankets on top.

I’m 6’1” (or 2”), and I have camped comfortably in my Passport a few times. The first time, just stacked my bags in the gap between the top of the back seat and the back of the front seat, and then I laid my air mattress (78” REI Camp Dreamer XL) over the bags. That worked out really well.

After that and seeing JonDZ’s videos, I ordered the Luno Life mattress, and that really is nice. I think you’ll want something to boost the “gap fillers” up two inches or so, but they are really handy and don’t take up a lot of space.

But my experience suggests that you can be really comfortable at your height.

At 6'2" you will fit if you lay in a slanted pattern, for example with your head on the passenger seat side and your feet near the rear lid on the drivers side. As others have said, you will need to move the passenger seat forward and stuff something in the foot-well to bring it up to the folded seat height.

I slept great in mine with a sleeping pad and sleeping bag...
