grahamgrocho Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Soon renting a 2013 or 2014 TC (wagon) with rows of seats in the back. I'd like to use it to pick up and haul a motorcycle. Anyone know if: - Wagon version has the tie down hooks as seen on the floor of the van cargo version? - Are the wagon version door and cargo area dimensions the same as seen on the cargo van version?

103west43rd Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Hello grahamgrocho. The 2013 and 2014 are completly different vans. I have the 2010-2013 version. Yes, the cargo and wagon versions have the same two tie down hooks in the rear, plus a hook in the upper left side, also in the rear. The seats come out by removing the Torx bolts holding them down to the floor if you need the extra space to fit your motorcycle. With the seats folded forward (or removed), you have an additional two tie down hooks available on either side where the seat backs lock into place. Our forum members with 2014-2015 Transit Connects can help with details of their models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Don't forget that you can also use the high seat belt anchors as additional tie down spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamgrocho Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 Thanks, but I think we're going to go with a rental Chevy Express cargo van instead for this trip. There are just too many what-ifs involved with the TC wagon rental that the dealer can't seem to answer for me. At least I know the bike will fit inside of the Chevy Express, though tie-downs will probably need to be created. The TC wagon would have much better gas mileage for this ~2200 mile trip (Chicago to Orland and back again), and probably be a bit more comfy, but the dealer can't seem to verify the year of the TC model, etc etc. Pain in the butt and the dealer is 75 miles from here and I don't have time to go check it out myself (wish the dealer would please do some leg work for me, but I guess not!). Thanks for all the tips anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
