Howdy folks... I am new here and planning to purchase a Transit Connect in the next few months. I am looking at Cargo TC's! One main requirement is that it has to be RED! There seems to be a plethora of WHITE TC's and a very few RED! I have found a RED one in a passenger TC tho.... Which leads me to this question.
If I purchased a passenger TC... are the seats easy to remove... AND if removed... will the deck be as flat as the Cargo van?
The reason why... I have this requirement and the questions...
I am a professional Santa and intend to make this my SLEIGH... therefor the RED. As for the cargo van... I often bring a small sound system and from time to time, a magic stage table or two. I also perform Magic and Balloon shows during the summer. I am concerned that if I bought the passenger TC, the folded seats would make it 8 inches or so, higher than the cargo van deck, to load my magic equipment into it, possibly straining my back. For the most part, during the summer months I carry several large bags of inflated balloons to parties making the cargo van perfect and it has the lower floor for lifting heavier items into.
So... since I can't seem to find a RED XLT Cargo van easily... I might have to settle for the RED XLT passenger TC and remove the seats for the lower loading deck. I would not need the seats for any reason.
Enjoy your awesome day today!
