i've brought home three Mills Pride C1 cabinets from Home Depot in the back, with the hatch closed! pull the headrest out of the passenger's seat, move the seat all the way forward, then drop the seatback all the way down! then lower the back seat-backs and pull the sliding cover out of its slots and drop them on the floor behind the front seats.

three C1 cabinets plus some other accessories: likely about 4-500 pounds, and the car wasn't noticeably slower than normal!

i love my Prius!
