trunkloads
Cargo compartment capacities
Trunkloads is the plural of trunkload—the amount that fills or could fill a trunk, whether a car's storage compartment or a large chest.
The word typically emphasizes quantity rather than precise measurement: They hauled trunkloads of old clothes to the donation center.
Like similar formations (carloads, boatloads), it often suggests abundance or excess.
