Will a 65 inch TV fit in the back of a car?

I managed to get a 65-inch TV in the back of my car after folding down the seats. Just thought I’d share if anyone was curious.

Well, I tried with my 2-door… no luck! Learned the hard way a 65” just doesn’t fit.

Funny, I managed to fit a 60” in my 2-door last week. Maybe it’s a tight squeeze, but it worked for me!

I got a 75” TV to fit in my 4-door recently. But I checked a video first to be sure it would work!

I worked at an electronics store for six years, and just a heads-up: don’t lay down any TV larger than 43”. It can bend under its own weight, especially when driving over bumps, and that’ll void your warranty.

If you’re worried, most stores offer free box truck delivery. It takes a bit longer, but at least you’ll be covered if something happens.

Now I’m curious how big a TV would fit if I kept it upright with the roof off. Maybe I can use this as an excuse to buy a new one!

I’d guess around 55 inches with a 2-door, but for a 65, even upright, it might be tricky. Those crossbeams on the 4-door could get in the way.

I remember back when I was 17, I’d get little crowds around me at work while I explained the TVs and sound systems. The store was always short-staffed, so folks would just gather and listen in.

I fit a 75-inch TV in my car once. Barely, but it worked.

Just a tip, it’s really not a good idea to lay a TV down flat. Best to keep it upright.

I’ve got to pick up a 65-inch this weekend, and I was just wondering if it would fit. Thanks for sharing!

I was actually wondering about this too!

I’ve done crazier things. Had a 72” butcher block sticking out of the back window once. And an 86” TV in the bed of a pickup truck.

Wow, you setting up a mobile kitchen or something? :joy:

@Tory
Nah, it was for a reloading bench. Turned out pretty good.

Wait, are we talking 2-door or 4-door cars?

4-door, at least for my experience.

Same here… tried to fit a 65-inch in a Wrangler, and it just wasn’t happening.

Good to know, especially since I was thinking of picking one up soon.
