Who is excited about maximizing cargo space/utility, far past JK/JKU, with Stow & Go® seating ?

FCA would make the lives of active Jeep owners all the more lovely!

1. Napping / making love -
Give us a good density flush cut, saline rinsed, memory foam mattress option with a comfy breathable Jeep® cover for $205, and lots of body-matched sheet-set colors to choose from.

2. Lugging gear -
Whether playing a gig, coaching the team, climbing mountains, going cross country, the more space the better.

3. Maybe even Stow&Go® FRONT seating and a pop up camper, while we're building an eco-motorhome?

Who else would be excited for this FCA feature to port its way over to the Jeep® Family ?

I don't think there's enough room between the front and rear seats unless they design the rear seats to be able to slide further back into the trunk. HOWEVER, I'd be all for rear seats that fold backwards like this (check from 1:15 mark):



It would also greatly increase storage, maybe even for a few smaller roof panels.

I would love to see a Fold Flat FRONT SEAT ; the Jeep Compass Latitude had this feature, and maybe the Grand Cherokee.
I used this a lot in my 2014 Compass, also the power Sunroof..
If the Transverse Muffler in the Wrangler was in line, a huge storage well could be located in the back.
Also, unused " dead space" in sides. Certainly there is plenty more storage space available, just need some imagination to create it.
Here's Hoping !

The problem with stow and go seats is that they have to go somewhere. If you "stow" them in favor of increasing interior room, then you lose ground clearance. Also, how do you stow a bench seat with the transmission/transfer case/rear driveshaft as well as any other items which are stored under the floorboards (e.g. gas tank) without dropping these? Everything is a trade-off and a rear seat removal is a much better option than the new stow and go concept, at least on this platform.

Now imagine, a remote road trip, having kids sleep in cargo area with rear seats stowed away, and memory foam mattress, and having a super light, slim, "slide lock" factory pop up camper, which locks into the two side roof gutters, for mom and dad to sleep in !

Make it happen Milous !

You need a Sprinter Van.

Same here. I really would be better off with a Sprinter .... but the cost is way too high. I would easily be over $80K on one when properly equipped.
