Now that we know the issue is ping pong balls measuring
40mm in diameter, the answer is 24,552. Approximately.
Of course, that's with the crossbar removed, no mat, and
the spare and its cover removed.
Subtract two if the windows have been tinted.
And, if it's ok to flatten them you can carry about six
times as many. That would be about 150,000 balls, each
weighing about 1/10 of an ounce. So 15,000 ounces or not
far from 1000 pounds.
Put some air in the tires...

And be sure to use the external mirrors.
