Does the Chrysler Pacifica Have Stow ‘n Go Seating?

The Chrysler Pacifica is equipped with Stow ‘n Go seating, but the specifics will vary according to the row in question and the trim level selected. This system allows the seats to fold into the floor compartments rather than requiring them to be taken out, which distinguishes it from other three-row vehicles.

Key Considerations:

• What makes this seating system different from other minivan arrangements?
• How do the seats actually fold down into the floor?
• Which configurations include second-row stowage and which don’t?
• How much cargo room does the flat floor open up?
• What else do customers tend to ask about the system?

What Makes Stow ‘n Go Different From Other Minivan Seating?

With most three-row vehicles, you’re either able to fold the seats forward or have to remove them and put them somewhere else, but the Chrysler Pacifica simplifies the situation by having the seats drop into compartments in the floor with a panel then covering them, thus giving you a level surface with nothing getting in the way.

From the first row to the tailgate, the flat surface measures up to 99.5 inches in length, for it’s this dimension that usually determines whether longer objects will fit in.

• Maximum cargo volume: up to 140.5 cubic feet
• Cargo floor length: up to 99.5 inches
• Seating setups: up to 243

How Do the Seats Fold Into the Floor?

You should begin with the third row; the cushion moves forward, the seatback then sinks into the opening, and the floor panel lies flat on top. The second row functions in the same way and moves forward if necessary before being folded down. No tools are required, and there is no need to take anything out of the van.

To put the seats back, simply remove the seatbacks from the wells and lock them in place; this makes it easy to switch between carrying passengers and carrying cargo without needing any extra space or prior planning.

Which Configurations Include the Second Row?

Floor wells are included with the lower and middle trims in the second row, but not with the highest one. On the top variant, the second-row seats are built for comfort and do not fold down into the floor. Yet all the versions have a third row that folds away.

What Does the Flat Floor Actually Give You?

Folding in both rows gives you a total space of 140.5 cubic feet behind the first row, which is around four times the amount you have when all the seats are in position. This significant difference is a main reason why customers ask questions about the Stow ‘n Go system at an early stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the seating system available on every trim?

A: All the versions have the Stow ‘n Go feature in the third row, whereas the second-row storage covers the lower and middle trims but not the top one.

Q: How many passengers fit with the seats in place?

A: Seven is the standard number on most trims, but eight can be obtained according to how the second row is arranged. As many as 243 different seating combinations are possible, the number mainly depending on how many rows fold at a time and on whether the middle row consists of a bench or a pair of bucket seats.

Q: Can the seats be removed instead of stowed?

A: The third row is stored by folding it in rather than by detaching it, which means that it remains with the vehicle in all versions. In the case of the second row, which doesn’t fold down into the floor, those seats are either removable or can be moved forward to gain access to the row behind.
