Car Trunk Organizers: Five Listings Compared by Capacity, Dimensions and Fold Style
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
A trunk organizer keeps groceries, sports gear and tools from sliding around, and most of the listings in this group are collapsible bins with a fabric body. They differ in capacity, in how they stand in the trunk, and in whether they have a non-slip base or hook-and-loop fasteners. The stated dimensions decide whether the bin fits your trunk, so this guide reads each listing by its size and capacity first, then by how it mounts.
Quick answer
Measure your trunk before comparing capacities. The listings here range from about 45 liters to 52 liters, and their depths run from about 10 to 11 inches. Then check how the organizer stays in place. A free-standing bin can slide on a sloped floor, while one with non-slip feet or hook-and-loop strips grips the carpet. Finally, check the folding style, since a bin that folds flat is easier to store when the trunk is needed for cargo.
How we chose
Each entry uses the product details saved for the listing: dimensions, capacity, material, color, mounting type, item weight and included components. The guide reports these as the listing gives them. It does not describe how sturdy any bin is when loaded, how well it stays put on a hill, or how it handles heavy items.
What we could not verify
Load strength is not tested. Capacity figures are the sellers’ numbers, and some are given in liters, others in cubic feet or gallons. The guide reports each unit as listed and does not convert them into one figure. Some listings name a mounting style that the seller describes in its own words, and the guide does not confirm how well it works.
The five listings
Femuar: collapsible trunk organizer, 52 liters, oxford cloth, black
The Femuar organizer is a black oxford cloth bin measuring 22.5 by 13 by 10.8 inches, with a capacity of 52 liters. The mounting type is listed as a tabletop mount, which means the bin stands on the floor rather than hooking to the trunk. The item weight is 1.3 pounds. The listing is one of the lighter bins in the group and is easy to lift in and out. View the Femuar organizer on Amazon.
FORTEM: foldable trunk organizer, 45 liters, polyester, floor standing
The FORTEM organizer is a foldable polyester bin measuring 21 by 13 by 10.5 inches, with a capacity of 45 liters. The mounting type is floor standing and the item weight is 0.9 kilograms. The lightest of the FORTEM listings, it suits a trunk where the bin needs to be lifted out often. A smaller capacity means it fits into a compact trunk more easily.

FORTEM: foldable trunk organizer, 50 liters, polyester, free standing
The second FORTEM listing is a foldable polyester bin measuring 20.49 by 14.5 by 10.51 inches, with a capacity of 50 liters. The mounting type is free standing and the item weight is 3 pounds. The wider base gives more footprint on the trunk floor, which can help it stay put. The 50-liter capacity is close to the 52-liter Femuar bin, so compare the dimensions to decide.

GORILLA GRIP: large trunk organizer, 2.08 cubic feet, nonskid feet and hook-and-loop fasteners
The GORILLA GRIP organizer is a large polyester bin measuring 24 by 15 by 10 inches, with a capacity of 2.08 cubic feet. The mounting type combines nonskid feet with hook-and-loop fasteners, which grip the trunk floor and the walls. The item weight is 1.42 kilograms. The fasteners are the feature to look for if you carry the bin on a sloped trunk. View the GORILLA GRIP organizer on Amazon.
Amazon Basics: foldable trunk organizer, 13.5 gallons, Oxford, buckle closure
The Amazon Basics organizer is a foldable Oxford bin with a capacity of 13.5 gallons. It is black, has a buckle closure and weighs 938 grams. The listing describes a multi-compartment design, which keeps small items separate from larger cargo. The dimensions are not stated in the fields used here, so check the size on the product page before ordering. View the Amazon Basics organizer on Amazon.
A comparison by capacity and size
| Organizer | Capacity as listed | Dimensions as listed | Mounting | Weight as listed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Femuar | 52 L | 22.5 × 13 × 10.8 in | Tabletop mount | 1.3 lb |
| FORTEM (45 L) | 45 L | 21 × 13 × 10.5 in | Floor standing | 0.9 kg |
| FORTEM (50 L) | 50 L | 20.49 × 14.5 × 10.51 in | Free standing | 3 lb |
| GORILLA GRIP | 2.08 cu ft | 24 × 15 × 10 in | Nonskid feet and hook-and-loop | 1.42 kg |

Capacity and dimensions are the two columns to compare first. The units differ, so convert before comparing. The GORILLA GRIP bin is the largest by listed capacity.
Fitting the trunk
Measure the trunk width, depth and the height under the parcel shelf. A bin that is 24 inches wide needs at least that width, and the depth must leave room for the rear seat to fold. The listings here run about 20 to 24 inches long and 13 to 15 inches wide.
Staying in place
A bin that slides on the trunk floor can crush items or shift in a turn. The GORILLA GRIP listing names nonskid feet and hook-and-loop fasteners. The FORTEM 50-liter bin stands freely, so the weight and base size decide how stable it is.
Folding and storage
A collapsible bin folds flat when the trunk is needed for cargo. The Femuar, FORTEM and Amazon Basics listings are foldable. Check how the bin folds and whether it fits in your garage or closet when empty.
Checks to make before you order
Measure your trunk, including the rear seat folding space, and compare it with the dimensions.
Check the unit system when comparing capacities. The listings use liters, cubic feet and gallons.
Confirm the mounting style for your trunk floor.
Which organizer suits which trunk
For a compact trunk, the 45-liter FORTEM bin is the smallest option. For a large SUV, the GORILLA GRIP bin gives the most capacity. For a bin with separate compartments, the Amazon Basics listing describes a multi-compartment design.
Loading and unloading
A bin with a lid or a wide opening makes it easy to load groceries, while a narrow bin is better for tools and small items. The Femuar bin weighs 1.3 pounds when empty, so it is light to lift in and out. The GORILLA GRIP bin weighs 1.42 kilograms and is the largest, so it is best for a trunk where you load it once and leave it in place.
Frequently asked questions
Can a trunk organizer stop cargo from sliding?
A bin keeps small items together, but it does not hold cargo in place during a hard stop. Use straps for heavy loads.
Is a collapsible organizer strong enough for heavy items?
The listings do not state a load limit. Check the product page and keep heavy items low and secured.
Which capacity do I need?
Choose by what you carry. A 45 to 52 liter bin suits groceries and sports gear for a family.
