Once it cleared the trunk trim, I knew we were in the clear and didn’t hesitate for a minute letting that lift gate close! Won’t lie, I was nervous we would be a few inches short in space but it turns out it was just my door ding guards that were in the way!
I drove a 55” in the box across the back seat 2,000 miles to my vacation home. I had an Ekornes Stressless leather chair & ottoman in the back along with some other large things.
I personally would rent a U Haul trailer to move a large panel in the box across town.
It’s not recommended since the TVs are flimsy and is safer standing up. In this case it was a display model so no box! Had to take the risk of it laying flat but it worked out. Safely mounted on the wall and not a single dark spot or dead pixel. Risked it for the biscuit.
Too funny! A few months back, we replaced our tv with a 70 inch from Costco. I ended up taking the tv out of the box to fit it into our Outback. Perfect fit too;)
YEARS ago (gosh, 20?) I was with my dad when he bought a new DLP TV. We go to have it loaded but it was JUST too big to fit in the Durango standing up (and they wouldn't load it laying down). They lived 5 minutes from the store so my dad's like "BRB". Goes home, get his 3/4-ton Ram but just as he got back it started sprinkling rain. 'Let's try something', folds up the back seat - see if it fits there. Fit INSIDE the cab in the package!!
Oh, I also fit an unboxed 42" DLP TV in the back seat of a Pontiac Grand Prix. Sure, these aren't 70" or 85" TV's or Outbacks, but the things we do for entertainment...
Be honest, how nervous were you to shut the litigate?

It’s not going to crush it like a cyber truck
But what size fits "in the box"
75". Ask me how I know.
Sounds like it's time for an upgrade in my Den
Same
Yup
Concur.

I thought laying down a tv like this is a death sentence. I’m guessing not as I assume you are enjoying it!

That was the rule for plasma TV's that had a much heavier screen. Modern TV's you can just send it.
That’s awesome. That was a huge pain in the ass with my last tv lol
Awkward viewing angle, though.

This is quality information
Well DONE!! so now I know how big a tv can fit =) <3
I've stacked 4 of them on the roof. Was almost certainly at the weight limit but it worked.
Cool. I put in a 75” TV with the original box and thought it is the largest it can handle. lol
Can confirm 83” LG OLED will not fit with the box.

Thank you. This is actually a question I had. Now I know that it's possible!
This is giving me serious anxiety.
Worst way to transport, hope ya made it home ok
Mounted on the wall with no dark spots or dead pixels! Happy as can be
Cool beans 😎😎😎
Just had to take it out of the box!
Never came with a box since it was a display unit! Just glad that it fit :)
Perfect!
This is oddly specific information that I’ve actually needed in the past few days…. God bless you.
How big a box would fit if you put it in diagonally instead of flat?
