How to Make a Leveling Platform for the Toyota 4Runner Trunk Load

Model: Toyota 4runner N280 - Years 2010-2024

One thing that makes the Toyota 4Runner impractical is the rear overhang between the trunk and the cargo area. This clever YouTuber found a way to solve this problem by creating a mobile, pull-out wooden platform that levels the cargo area with the trunk. Here’s how he did it: He carefully took measurements, then found a particularly sturdy wooden shelf and shaped it according to his needs. It should be noted that he has highly professional equipment and demonstrates specific skills. To ensure there was a pull-out section, he had to build a platform from which it could extend, using additional wood, metal parts, and considerable skill. He then covered the top with black carpet, identical to the existing one. The bottom was appropriately shaped, with a ring to facilitate extraction. Truly a great job.
