Scrappy_TC

Hey All, Has anyone removed sections or the entire center console for easier back and forth access from the front seats? Asking mostly in context to a camper conversion. Swivel seats sure would be nice, but not happening. I figure the freedom movement and less crawling over could be good.

Don't know if I want/can go full size transit. Bigger than I'd like, out of my price range, and seat options for any of the larger class vans are terrible. Not to mention the mileage/creature comforts that I would get with a transit connect. Mostly want to know how much of a limitation others have felt with the transit connect. Never been limited by clearance in other vehicles.

Same, mainly want to be able to get the van into camping spots and down rough roads to more off the beaten path trailheads. All too aware of the connect's clearance, would maybe consider throwing some larger tires on for a minimal gain. As is(without any lifts/mods), any issues getting down rough roads and into more interesting camping spots?

I'm a potential Gen2 Transit Connect owner, definitely in the market. Would definitely be doing a modifiable camper conversion for climbing trips. Hope I'm not too far off topic, but wanted to bring back the ground clearance topic. I am not interested in taking the transit connect offroading, but I do spend a lot of driving time on forest roads and getting to fairly remote areas. My only concern that has me hesitating to pull the trigger on the transit connect is the ground clearance. Would any connect owners who regularly get out on high mountain/forest roads that can be bad to rutted out be willing to weigh in on their experiences? Have you ever felt limited or had to turn around because the road became too poor for the connect to handle? Thanks for any input, greatly appreciated.
