From my understanding, both the low-roof 12 and 15-pass vans are the same length @ 148". We require significant storage space in the rear of the van, more than what comes in either the 12 or 15-pass configurations. My question then is, can we order 15-pass vans with the last row deleted. Better yet, ordering a 12 passenger in the 15 passenger configuration, so the last row would have the four seats?

What we are currently doing is ordering the 15-pass and removing the rear seats ourselves, which creates an 11-pass van with a wasted $940 seat.

Thank you and appreciate the help.

thicks31,

You are doing it the easiest way. When You get your wagon, put a post in the Thread "Parts Needed / Available", to sell your seats and recover some of your money.

My 12 seater, the last row was two, 2 seaters for a row of 4. Don't know if the 15 seater is the same, if it is, you could leave one set of 2 and have 13 seats.

Unless you have small children to sit in the last row with 4 seats, those seats are pretty small for a normal size adult. The other seats leftover after removing the rear seats are a little wider than those rear seats. When you order the 148" WB wagon, it comes standard with the 12 passenger seating. To get additional room in taking out the rear seat, you have 8 seats left. To make the same room in the 15 passenger wagon, you would have to take out the rear 4 passenger and the 2/1 passenger seats in the next row, so you would still have 8 available seats.

It's late, so I must be missing something. Removing the $940 rear seat of a 148wb 15-passenger yields the same storage space as a 12-passenger, so why wouldn't you just get that? That is a 15 passenger with rear seat delete. Do you need exactly 11 seats? Most days, I have 2 of my rear seats out which leaves us with seats for 10 and more space than a 15 passenger with rear seats removed. On the days when I need all 12 seats, I just put the extra seats back in. If I need more space, I remove more seats.

Looking at the 2015 layout, it appears there is more room by removing the last 4 in a 15 seater than there is behind the 12 seater. But my vision could be off.

Only with the extended wb 15 seater. On the 148" wb, the 2+1 4th row of a 15 passenger is in the same position as the 2+2 4th row of a 12 passenger.

Those drawings on that child seat anchor page are not accurate except on the location of anchor points. The images show the 12 passenger seats in a 130" wb, a configuration not available as far as I know, and the wrong rear seats in the extended 15 passenger.

The rear of a 148" 12 passenger looks just like the rear of the extended 15 passenger, even using the same 2+2 rearmost row (not 1+2+1).
