Really cool how you are doing so much to get the look you want.

CMax in a nice car. 4 or 5 years ago had a rental we drove to Yellowstone. Not bad, extra kick from electric was nice in higher elevation, I was able to pass without too much difficulty. We had a fun game between my wife, son and I to see who could get the highest speed before the gas engine kicked in. My TC is certainly not fast but is good enough, I have wanted more power many times but it does OK. My other car is a Chevy Volt which is pretty good up to about 50. I have ridden sport bikes for years, now that's acceleration! I find the interior room in the TC to be fantastic. Biggest issue I have is the rear opening (I have the lift gate) is lower than the inside height. I sometimes carry one of my scooters (not that's not fast) inside. Both will fit with the seats folded flat but it is easier if I take the rear seats out. I have the big WeatherTech mat that is supposed to go on top of the folded seats. With the rear seats out it is not flat but is good enough. For scooter hauling I put a 3x3 piece of MDF board on top of the mat for the center stand to rest on. the front wheel goes between the two middle seats. Note I have the Titanium with 6 passenger configuration. I have hauled all kinds of stuff in the van including, a scooter, wood, grandkids, 65" TV, furniture when my son moved out, dishwasher, double ovens, and my mother-in-law. The TC is a great vehicle for older folks as it's not a sit down and have to climb out or a climb up to get in and then need a ladder to get down, its just slide right into the seat. I did not set out to buy a Titanium, was looking for a good deal on a new one with leather, 6 passenger, upgraded sound system, and a towing package. I bought a 2016 in late November of 2017. The dealer came off a little over $7,000 so I was happy. I have the Ford MyTouch instead of the newer Sync 3 but it works well for me. The Navigation system is nice. I really like the larger backup camera screen and the backup sensors. I have the towing package and the driving lights. Most of the time the driving lights are off but the corning light function is nice. It had the towing package which is good for me and I like that it is integrated in the wiring without having to do a lot of extra work. Like the lift gate, nice to stand under when loading grandkids and groceries at Costco. The Titanium has folding mirrors which are good for me as my garage is tight and I fold them to make it easier to get out. Also for the cool factor when parked next to an expensive German car. :-) I am super happy with my TC Wagon and have done everything I wanted it for except camping in it - took my motorcycle camping instead.

+1 on the wrap. If you get a fairly new one, the wrap actually protects the paint. So when it's resale time, it looks better. And you can have anything you want on it.

Seems to me a lot depends on the van length as to how easy it is to remove the seats? Short wheel base, they pop right out, but the longer models are all bolted down. Even then not so bad, unless the bolts have corroded into the floor. There's also some locator pegs that can put up a fight after you get the bolts out. This looks like a decent writeup on floor mods you might need to make on the newer models ...
