    Good Afternoon All,

    Has anyone done an OEM 3rd Row to OEM Non-3rd Row conversion? My search efforts here did not provide any results. Please redirect me if this has been covered previously.

    I have a '16 Limited with OEM 3rd row seating and was debating the conversion noted above. I'm looking to get a flat/flatter transition between the cargo area and the folded 2nd row seating. Also, pictures of an OEM Non-3rd row with the 2nd row seating folded would be appreciated as well, to see if there are any notable differences.

    Thanks,
    Keith

    We have a 2 row and a 3 row. The second row in the 2 folds by pulling the seat bottoms up and then folding the seat backs down. Where are you located?

    The second row folds differently on non 3rd row models. I think if you converted the 3rd row out to the non-3rd row, you would have a height difference, unless you traded out the second row as well, which might be difficult as one set slides and the other set is mounted solid.

    If you do some searching on here, there has been a few members that have done it.

    I have looked into this before but it is a lot of work. See link;

    Thanks for answering a question that I'd yet to ask concerning the 2nd row seating stowage. My 2000 SR5 rear seats folded by that method.

    I'm in Eastern North Carolina.

    Can you post images, from the rear of the vehicle, of your non-3rd row model with the 2nd row seating folded?

    Thanks,
    Keith

    Ah. NC is a bit far for me. Was going to offer a straight trade. I can post pictures but it’s not stock (and dark right now). I have a shallow storage system in it to make it level
