How to get more C10 trunk space: remove the spare tire well!

Hello all C10 owners!

I wanted to share a simple trick for those who need more height in the boot of the C10.

The situation:
I had to transport a large item (a comfy armchair) and it wouldn’t fit in the boot with the standard configuration. But then I discovered a solution!

The solution: remove the plastic tray!

The boot tray can be easily removed, and this significantly increases the cargo space, both in height and total volume.

How to do it:

  1. Unscrew the plastic screws - Use a standard screwdriver
  2. The pin detaches from the screw easily
  3. Remove the tray

Voilà! Much more space!

Advantages:

  • More loading height (without the raised tray)
  • More total volume
  • Easy to do and to put back

Acoustic considerations:
Some might worry about noises without the tray. In my case, I haven’t noticed any additional noises while driving. The tray can also be reinstalled without screwing it in - it holds perfectly well anyway!

When it’s useful:

  • Occasional transport of large items
  • Holidays with lots of luggage
  • Alternatives to renting a van!

In my case, I avoided having to rent a small transporter. The C10 is truly versatile!

Has anyone else tried this solution? What kind of items have you transported?
