Here is the Walmart cooler with the front passenger seat pulled all the way forward (5” to spare):

Another thing that might be good to show with pictures is with the lid raised when it’s behind the seat. Some people would be ok with not accessing the cooler when it’s sitting there behind the seat, but other people might want to lift the lid, and would want to know how far the seat has to be moved forward to make that happen, etc.

Good pics on that Ozark cooler.

I have not taken those pics yet because the cooler is in the middle of an ice retention test. However, I will say the Ozark 26 qt cooler will definitely NOT work well if there is an average-size adult man/woman in the front passenger seat. The 24 qt Rubbermaid cooler I posted above will not even be good in that situation. If space for an adult passenger in the front is a requirement, then I recommend a soft shell cooler or a thinner hard shell cooler. I have not seen any soft shell cooler or thin hard shell cooler that fits my requirements.

I travel A LOT with my Outback, and I too wanted a compact cooler/fridge. I wanted one that I could put behind my passenger seat so I could easily access it while driving or if I pulled over to a rest area. I camp in my Outback so I have a variety of camping goodies--Jackery 500 Power station, 100 watts of solar, pressurized tube shower, and my little fridge. I bought a no name brand--JoyTutus off of Amazon and it's worked amazing for my needs.

@DesertRoads does the JoyTutus fit flush on the floor? Seems too wide.

I also have this cooler and use it in the same spot. Works great. I don’t think you can beat it for the money right now.

I move the passenger seat up a little, as it's just me. But it works for me and my liking.

I have 2015 Outback. I sometimes solo car camp and wanted a cooler to fit behind passenger seat and also act as a space filler for when I sleep in the back on a foam mattress. I tried a few options and found a couple solutions. For a cheap cooler, the Igloo 48QT marine cooler was cheap and will do the job if you don't need it cool very long. It doesn't have a drain or an insulated top so I filled the top with spray foam to help the insulation. Igloo48qt.

But I wanted a cooler that would keep cold longer so after a bunch of internet searching I ended up with Echosmile 35QT. It is well made, has a drain, 5 day cooler and fits the space.
