  1. Hi all. I finally found the TCW I want and went to test drive it this weekend - 2016, 8 month old Titanium, 17k miles. I took my brother along because I just look at how 'nice' the features are and he is more practical (and mechanical). ;-) He noticed when test driving it, that there is a "clunk" on acceleration, said it feels like it's either the transmission, differential or front axle joint. Any one experience this? He doesn't think I should buy it if the dealer can't fix it first, foreseeing problems down the line. :-( Thoughts?
  2. Thanks all! I will try folding the seats down again, sounds like I may not have folded them properly. After thinking about it some more, I think I will just remove the third row, with 47" between the wheelhouse that should be sufficient space for the coolers most of the time. Plus the extra height from folded seats isn't going to be an easy in/out for the pooch. ;-) Don - when you removed the seats, do you cover the floor with a cargo mat?
  3. Hi all. I've been thinking about getting a TC for a while now but have been unable to decide between a van and wagon. I recently came across a used 2016 Titanium with an excellent price so I "think" that may be the one. I will use the vehicle for my business and need to be able to fit a couple large ice chests in there at times which is why I was thinking of the van. I also need something easier for my dog to get in and out of as she's getting too old to climb the ramp into my Xterra...yes, I am choosing a vehicle for my dog ;-). The van suits these two purposes perfectly, however, since it will also serve as my personal vehicle, having the extra seating in the Wagon is nice. My concern is I went to look at the Titanium yesterday and folded all the seats down and pulled the rear row cover flap over the bucket seats, it doesn't lay perfectly flat. There's a slight incline over the middle row seats, from what I had been reading I was expecting a perfectly flat surface when the seats were down. Is there a 'trick' to get it lay perfectly flat? if not, will putting in a cargo mat over the folded seats help? And do you think the folded seats could handle 150-250 pounds on top of it? My other thought was just to remove the rear seats and get a mat to cover the area behind the 2nd row. Does any one know the width of the cargo area behind the second row? Wondering if 42" coolers would fit width-wise.
