Nice overview.
Has anyone seen a picture of the back doors open as well as a picture of the rear hatch open?

Interesting, that this 6' plus reviewer found the backseat ample and the other 6' plus reviewer found the back seat cramped, especially headroom.sebring96hbg said:
Honda Ridgeline? I just picked up a bulk load of pea gravel or mulch and I have a flat. The Honda Ridgeline needed to come with a shovel on the front fender line the military jeeps.MoparNorm said:. Imagine having that thing packed to the gills, then getting a flat... Where's my spare...
For all that having a spare tire mounted under the vehicle has problems, so does having it inside the vehicle. I like the inside the vehicle route because the wheel stays clean, and you can usually store small items along with it.MoparNorm said:Interesting, that this 6' plus reviewer found the backseat ample and the other 6' plus reviewer found the back seat cramped, especially headroom.
I'd imagine torso length has a great deal to do with it?
The rear cargo space is marginal, the rear cargo space floor, doesn't look too bad, albeit short, but the slope of the rear seat and rear hatch, make that space "A" shaped and really pinch in, a large ice chest or ARB Fridge-Freezer, would consume most of that space, leaving little room for the rest of your camping gear.

Even though the media would complain I still find the spare location on the XJ to be ideal. It really doesn't hurt visibility since it is right behind your left shoulder. And it doesn't take up much room in the cargo area.UN4GTBL said:For all that having a spare tire mounted under the vehicle has problems, so does having it inside the vehicle.

But, like you said, if the vehicle is packed to the gills, it's not going ot be fun to have to change a tire. Never mind find a spot to put the full size tire after the spare tire is on...
If there's anything that I've learned, it's that there's no such thing as a good spare tire placement. Period.MoparNorm said:Imagine having that thing packed to the gills, then getting a flat... Where's my spare...
