Besides used car lot hustling, where have you found the most useful interior cargo measurements? Like this with numbers

I've been hunting the net for a while attempting to track down Pre 2005 Mazda MPV and Pre 2000 Honda Odyssey cargo lengths & widths. Base of driver seat to rear hatch and narrowest width.  Going to check out some online owners clubs...

Any current owners with that info? Thank you and be safe out there!
 
Seems to be a tough one to uncover in Google search. I tried to order a cargo mat and see if it gave dimensions, but it didn't...
 
Proprietary Info. "We designed this vehicle and don't want others to know".

I think it has to do with all the curves and bends. If the manufacturer gave Dimension X as 60", and that is at a wide point, but the actual usable width or length was closer to 50" due to wheel arches and panel curves, folks would be irate.
Throw in the varied floor contours and roof undulations, and its tough to give hard numbers.
 
Here is a partial listing of the vast majority of vehicles currently in production and SOME of their dimensions and the cursed Cargo Volume... 

CJ SPITZ must have worked with S'baru in some capacity because he has the BEST I've come across...

The forums are extremely spotty as most people aren't using the vehicles in the capacity we're interested in.  However even in some forums like Schooly basic interior length and width measurements seem to be power secrets that people fear sharing...

Oh well...  It seems the GAS GUZZLING Expedition has the most randomized cargo volume...

See spreadsheet attachment I sorted by volume...

I was on a similar quest with another type of vehicle. They're really hard to find on the web. I measured someone's vehicle.
