AI-assisted review
Allows transport, not a fully enclosed fit: recommends a protruding load and open hatch despite folded rear seats and a fully reclined, headrest-free passenger seat. Calls hatch closure a coin flip or bonus, so its affirmative transport claim does not affirm fitting fully inside.
Literal evidence from this attempt
**Short answer: you can get it home in a 2016 Fit, but not with the tailgate closed — at best it's a coin flip, so plan for the hatch-open method.**
Exact final answer
**Short answer: you can get it home in a 2016 Fit, but not with the tailgate closed — at best it's a coin flip, so plan for the hatch-open method.**
**The numbers**
- With the rear Magic Seats folded, the Fit gives you roughly **57 inches of flat load floor** — nowhere near 98".
- The only viable trick is the long diagonal: front end down in the **passenger footwell** (front seat reclined, headrest removed), board rising over the folded rear seats, rear end up near the top corner of the hatch opening. That diagonal is right around **8 feet (~96–100")** in a 3rd-gen Fit — which is why owners routinely haul 8-ft 2x4s this way.
- Your countertop is **98" (8'2")** and, unlike a skinny board, its **25 5/8" width** means it can't be threaded between the front seats or through narrow gaps — it has to pass *over* the front passenger seat. Add the headrest, trim, headliner taper, and the hatch weatherstrip, and you'll likely be 1–3" short of latching the tailgate. The hatch will either rest on the countertop or stay cracked open — not something to drive around with unsecured.
**What actually works: hatch open, board sticking out slightly**
1. Remove the front passenger headrest, slide that seat back and recline it fully; fold the rear seats.
2. Slide the countertop in front-end first (it's around 60 lb — bring a helper) so the front end rests against the dash/footwell area. Pad the dash and the veneer with a blanket or cardboard.
3. Let the last ~6–12" hang out the open tailgate — roughly even with the rear bumper.
4. Strap it down solidly: ratchet straps from the hatch to the cargo tie-down loops, and let the hatch rest closed on the load if geometry allows. Flag the end if it protrudes meaningfully past the bumper, and drive gently.
**Alternatives worth considering**
- The **74" KARLBY** fits inside a Fit diagonally with the hatch closed — a much easier day.
- A **roof rack** with two crossbars handles the 98" fine (25⅝" deep board, straps front and rear).
- IKEA delivery/TaskRabbit, or borrowing a pickup/van, removes all the stress.
So: technically possible to transport, but treat "hatch closed" as a bonus, not the plan.
