Seating options on the mini van
Hi, I am a new member. I have previously owned a Toyota Sienna and have been happy. Time for a new van. Toyota changed one feature of their van seating setup that makes me look elsewhere.

I am a very senior citizen, but, in spite of that I love to kayak. On my present 2007 Sienna, I can slide my 11.5 foot long Sit On Top kayak INSIDE completely.

This special ability (very important to me) is possible because the third row of seats folds flat; the second row of seats folds "at the waist" leaving a flat, table like appearance; and the front seat also "folds at the waist" leaving a similar flat table like arrangement.

I added a small home-built rack over the rear deck....I can lay the yak flat and I love having everything inside. I usually have to drive 70 or more miles to my fishing locations, so not having to tie things down on the roof is a very valuable and handy asset.

Does the new mini van have similar folding seats?

Any help or suggestions appreciated. thanks, Rich
