I've translated this page from a German site

3rd row removed.

 

I thought about removing it after seeing the non 3rd row version butthenafter really taking a good look at it and seeing there was so little room, I figured it would be a waste of time right now. What amI going to put in there a flashlight? I just cant see reason for converting yet. Well not until I have something I need to hide.

 

I think that guy wanted to save weight more than anything perhaps for better fuel economy. He claims to have dumped 30kg.

 

That is the lamest excuse to do this for, if he dint want the 3rd row, why get an XLS? unlesshe could notlive without the paddle shifters and 18" wheels I dont see the pointl. I dont think its a significant reduction anyways, my bud thats in the same unit that I'm in had bought an XLS, and after he saw what I did with my space(gun storage) he wanted to do the same, unless this is what you want, I dont think the labor to benefit factor is rewarding enough, there just inst enough practical space there.

 

Could be that because on the Euro model you don't get Nav andFosgate woofer unless you buy top model. You can have nav as an extra on the lesser models but not fosgate woofer system, only the standard 6 speaker setup. Who knows!

Wait a minute I'm on to him, drugs stash!
Oh! and by the way, there are no paddle shifters here in Europe, they're all stick Deisel manual.

 

Ooohh, gotcha Zontarh, I was thinking of US models.

 

I think theres more room under the drivers seat than what is in that trunk spot.

 

It would really be neat if the jump seat could be reversed (facing to the rear). That way you could back up to a Valleyview overlook, open up the hatch, pop up the seat, pop open a Bud, and take in the views with you feet hanging over the tailgate...

 

Looks like you just volunteered to post the next diy thread....

 

I bought the euro model EQUIPPE which is the basic model didnt need the extra seats, or leather seats. Then did say thou that it had 6 disk player they lied.
