Cargo Capacity: which has more space?

Standard and largest cargo capacity

Due to the differing VDA vs SAE measurement methods, a direct comparison for cargo space isn't possible, but the 2024 Ford F‑150 SuperCrew 6.5ft bed 4x2’s 1,764 L is way above average for its class. Comparing maximum cargo space is a challenge here as 2024 Ford F‑150 SuperCrew 6.5ft bed 4x2 is measured at 1,764 L (SAE) while 2021 Volkswagen Polo uses the VDA standard. That said, the 2024 Ford F‑150 SuperCrew 6.5ft bed 4x2 is typical for the pickup segment.
