# 2023 Grand Cherokee L Cargo & Seating Guide 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Cargo Dimensions and Family Seating: What the Numbers Mean in Sioux Falls Families shopping for a three-row SUV at Frankman Motor Company in Sioux Falls, SD, often ask the same practical question: will the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L actually fit our stroller, luggage, and everyone we need to bring? This guide translates the official cargo and seating figures into real-world terms so you know what to expect before you open the tailgate. The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L offers 17.2 cu ft behind the third row, 46.9 cu ft with the third row folded, and 84.6 cu ft with both rear rows flat. Base models seat six via captain's chairs; an optional second-row bench bumps capacity to seven. Third-row space works comfortably for children but is tight for adults.

Actual usable space may vary based on trim and installed options. Confirm configuration on specific stock vehicles at Frankman Motor Company. ## What the Cargo Numbers Mean for Strollers and Luggage The 17.2 cubic feet available behind the third row—when all seats are occupied—is a relatively compact space for a full-size three-row SUV. To put that in perspective, a standard full-size travel suitcase (around 10–12 cu ft) would leave you with limited room for a folded stroller alongside it. Families traveling with both luggage and a stroller will likely need the third row folded. Dropping the third row opens the cargo area to 46.9 cubic feet, which is a meaningful jump. At that volume, a double stroller and two carry-on-sized bags can typically coexist, though you should bring your actual stroller to Frankman Motor Company to confirm fit in one of the three 2023 Grand Cherokee L units currently in stock (stock numbers 11143, 10957, and 10948). With both rear rows flat, the 84.6-cubic-foot load floor is cavernous—useful for costco runs, camping gear, or moving sports equipment—but it converts the vehicle to a two-passenger configuration only. At that point the long, relatively flat floor becomes the main practical advantage for bulky or oddly shaped cargo. ## Seating Capacity and Third-Row Fit Realities The standard 2023 Grand Cherokee L seats six passengers using second-row captain's chairs. Opting for the available second-row bench seat raises capacity to seven. This distinction matters when you're shopping: confirm which second-row configuration is installed on the specific stock vehicle you're considering, since it directly affects how many people can ride comfortably. The third row is accessible and reasonably easy to enter, but it is better sized for children and teenagers than for adults. For shorter school-run trips with kids, the third row works well; for longer interstate drives with adult passengers, the snugness becomes noticeable. Families who primarily need the third row for occasional child passengers will find this less of a concern than those who regularly carry adult guests. When evaluating any of the 4WD V6 units at Frankman Motor Company, have your older children actually sit in the third row during the test drive. This will confirm legroom adequacy for your specific family members far more reliably than measurements alone. ## What to Check on the Lot at Frankman Motor Company Before deciding on a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L, run through these steps on the actual stock vehicle to make sure the cargo and seating configuration matches your family's needs. - Confirm second-row seat configuration: Ask whether the specific unit has the standard captain's chairs (6-passenger) or the available bench seat (7-passenger). The choice affects both seating capacity and the cargo access path to the third row. - Bring your stroller and measure the opening: With 17.2 cu ft behind the third row, loading space is limited when all seats are up. Bring your actual stroller to test whether it fits with the third row in place or requires folding it flat. The cargo opening width and floor height matter as much as total volume. - Have third-row passengers sit in the row: Third-row comfort is adequate for children but can feel tight for adults. If teens or adults will regularly ride back there, have them physically occupy those seats during the visit to assess legroom and headroom firsthand. - Fold both rear rows and measure your longest cargo item: The 84.6-cu-ft configuration with both rows folded provides maximum load length. If you haul bikes, lumber, or sports gear, bring a tape measure and verify clearance with the tailgate closed on one of the stock units. - Verify drivetrain and engine on your preferred unit: All three current stock units at Frankman Motor Company are equipped with the 3.6L V6 and 4WD. Confirm this matches your South Dakota winter driving needs, and ask the sales team about any additional towing or off-road package details documented per VIN. ## 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Units at Frankman Motor Company Frankman Motor Company currently has three 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L units in stock, all equipped with the 3.6L V6 engine and 4WD drivetrain.
