Fitting a 40" tv box in back seat.

Is it possible. I am picking up a samsung 40" and was wonder would it fit in the back, or would I have to take out the bottom cushion.

Thanks alll.

phew..... i thought u wanted to "pimp your ride"...... i've fit a 32" tv in the back without taking the seat out and it just barely fit length and height wise. I think length is going to be your biggest factor.

This is of course assuming you are keeping it in the original box.

Yea I returned a 32" and it fit just fine. I looked online to find dimesions for the box and no luck. If all fails I would just have to borrow my buddies camry, and fold down the rear seat.

It wont fit 40" with the box. it fits perfectly with 32". If you have to use your car, without the box you can fit it in the back seat. The unable folded backseat is my worse disappointment. With all the horse power we are talking about, and it can't even ride a 40" lcd home.

What did they do with the box? I mean I would want to keep the box just in case I have a issue. I might have to spend$25 on a uhaul then if it does not fit in the camry.

For bulk transportation, they need the box to protect the tv. but you can take it out of the box and safely drive it home on the backseat. Just fold the box up and put it in the trunk if you need to save if for any reason. Have one guy from the store to help you loading the tv into the backseat. Our car is luxury sedan, but for me I have to utilize it for many things when my truck is not available.

You wont need the box if something happened to it. Take it out of the box and it will fit just fine

Even if the back seats folded down you would never fit the box thru the trunk opening.

Agree. With the box, it is still too big anyway.

Man I went to black friday thinking I could fit a 65" DLP in my car. Man was I wrong. That box is monsterous! Anyways, while I was waiting for my buddy to get his van, this guy next to me was trying to fit a 40" in his newer Altima with no luck so I dont think it will fit in ours with the box. It's up to you if you wanna take it out. I personally wouldn't.

I fit a 42 inch in the back of my 02 TL, but what I did was cut the top 1/4 of the box off and it fit right in.. Video Only requires a box for any returns.

Why is it that people on forums seem to have problems reading properly!

He said 40", not 46" !

I bought the same exact thing as he wants and it fit just fine.

Read the fine print first- don't always believe what the employee who is helping you load it says- some places may charge you a fee if you return something without the packaging.

Well I tried to fit a MATTRESS in my car and it definitely didn't fit so I had to have it delivered by IKEA.

Some people just don't get it...

Op, I'd recommend taking out the whole rear seat and obviously depending on the size of the box it could fit. Atleast you'll know you tried your best with your car.
