Possible to remove middle seat in 2nd row?

[kabert]

Does anyone know whether it is possible to remove the middle seat in the second row when the 2nd row is the bench seat? I searched all prior threads and didn't find the answer. I'd like to have the flexibility to do this so I can have a pass-through to the third row (it appears that the ONLY model that allows this by design in the Limited that comes with the (rare) captains chairs option).

I was thinking the same thing. I did not get a close look at the mounts buy I suspect it is possible since all three seats slide individually. I would guess that you would have to plug the four holes that would be there after removing the seats and put a mat over the area which would be done anyway. I'll have to look into it with more detail, but like the idea.

Yes, it is possible as I do it on mine. It is fairly easy to do, but you have to be very careful not to tear the seat covers on the other seats. There are only 4 bolts that hold it in. The flanges on the back that hold the plastic floor cover on are what can cut the side seats. I cut a piece of the storage area carpet to run down the center. Works and looks great.
