    Rear storage

    I love having all the room in my wagon but dont like the lack of storage. So I had a plan to build a platform and drawer combo. The top is 43" wide and 36" deep with 250lb drawer slides, there are 2 storage totes on the drivers side and their messurements are 25" x 17-9/16" x 9". the platform is about 2" lower than the second row folded down as in the pictures, i will be building a small box to bridge the gap between the starge and seat then having a 2" foam cussion made so my dogs have room to lay back there.

  2. I love the RAM mounts! I initially got the same no-drill seat mount for my last vehicle. https://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-316-1AUAnd once I got my TC and moved the mount over found the rod to be too short so also bought a longer one. In the end, since I am planning to keep my TC until it's worn out, I decided to use some RAM parts and some DIY parts to make a custom mount that's more permanent. I remounted the old long riser to a new bulkhead mount attached to the platform I added. I still have the original no-drill mount in case I find another spot I need a mount. I also used RAM parts to make a magnetic mount for my 12v spotlight for easier use in the event of a night tire change being needed. I keep an assortment of extra mounting balls and arms around for whatever comes up unexpectedly. I even used RAM parts to mount a mirror above my computer to be able to see parking area and the walkway to the front door while I am surfing in the den. Much cheaper than a security camera. Coupling the RAM parts with photo tripods and mounts lets you do almost anything that needs mounting and positioning. I just wish RAM offered an assortment of smaller ball sizes so you could fit other existing mounts, like the one on my dash cam, to the RAM ball system. I got lucky with my Tylt wireless charger and was able to use a RAM-to-Garmin ball adapter.

  3. I assume you have the XL package with the standard vinyl seats. Cloth seats are a $100 upgrade if ordering but I think it's still a 4-way seat. Before ordering, I tried the vinyl 4-way seats in the XL and the 6-way cloth seat in the XLT and I much preferred the cloth seats in the XLT. My wife thought they were both okay but she's a lot smaller and less picky than me. So far I'm pretty happy with the cloth seats. They are slightly molded in the seat and back like a sport seat but has a bench seat feel in that you're sitting pretty upright compared to most sedans. Something to consider if changing seats is that there is an air bag in the side of the seat back and the passenger seat has a sensor that disables the airbags when no one is sitting there. Good luck!
