<p>I am late to this, but just our data point–the only vehicle we have that would fit everything is a 4Runner with 230,000 miles on it. Because of that we’ve always rented an SUV for move out and move back in the spring. Only one parent goes with the kid. And I assume someone else has given the age-old CC advice that if it doesn’t fit in one large vehicle, it stays at home? (And I’m a big fan of packing in sturdy lawn-and-leaf bags. They can be smushed into any shape.)</p>
