Is this correct? can't lay it forward to use for larger storage like a 8' 2x4?

FatBoyTrucker

if you mean the passenger seat, no. you cant lay it flat. the bench seats both lay flat though

eignub

that cant be! i was able to fit an 8 foot aluminum step ladder in my xa

you could always just fold it all the way back, and put whatever it is, in. it's almost flat

eignub

and just in case you thought i was kidding....




and thats with the seats up, and a baby seat. and yes, i was able to close the hatch no problem.

Mister_D

you could have remove the headrest and fold down the rear seats... imo

That looks like a 6 foot ladder to me.
(But still impressive.)

There's a child seat in the back middle, hence no laying down the back seat. Cramming in a ladder with the seat up is far easier than properly fastening a child seat! And I do think it's a 6 ft ladder (only 5 rungs), but a mighty accomplishment getting in there!

eignub

might be only 6, not sure now, but there was still a little bit of room, so im sure if the seats where folded down the guy would have room for his 2x4s. and yep kaneohekoa, you must have kids if you know about fighting with a child seat.

Actually eignub, I don't have any kids, but hauled enough of my friend's kids around to know that no has yet invented an easy to install child seat. Almost all of them require you to have the kids remain in the house with the windows and doors closed, as the language coming from the car as the owner tries to install the child seat is somewhat colorful and will make longshoremen blush.

Dear God that looks like a safety hazard! lol

That's a step toward a projectile! Ha ha, I slay myself sometimes

You kill me too...


j/k pyroman, good call with the personal slaying.

eignub

yeah, i couldnt see out of the entire passengers side, or rear.

pyroman131

Which is more of a hazard?

1. Having a ladder that can shoot through the front or rear windshield

or

2. Having a driver, passenger, the seats down, 5 airport bags, and 4 people crammed into the back.


Sure, it sounds like I'm trafficking people, but nope! I was just picking up some friends from the airport. lol

If the 4 people crammed in the back were not in seats with seat belts, then #2 is the more hazardous... and illegal.

pyroman131

Hey there wasn't a cop around, so it's not illegal! lol

At least you're not as bad as this Jetta driver was!

wtf! how is that much even possible?!

The couple must have been strung out on something, because they wanted to drive to Maryland! If I'm not mistaken, there are Home Depots in that state.

Is this the reason VW never got into truck sales?
