Extra seating options? ?

Hey guys. Currently on a 2k+ road trip. I've gotta say that although 13 mpg isn't great it's not bad considering a big chunk of the miles have been mountains. However this is the first time I've felt that my Beast wasn't adequate.

My family only fit because everyone didn't come along. Are there options to add more seating or has anyone reconfigured the seats to allow more passengers? Or is my only option getting one of the custom 6 door excursions? Which I've seen in person and have liked.

I have seen a 4th seat added in the rear facing backward and there is a thread here for adding a center seat in place of the center console. I will try to post links when I can.

Thanks. I've tried searching but for some reason when I'm using my phone it searches the internet rather than a certain forum.

I've been getting together parts for a Cummins swap so I'd like to keep my current ex but the extra seating is a must. At times anyway

How many are you trying to carry and do you currently seat 7, 8 or 9?

Sorry about that. I currently have two captain chairs upfront and two benches. We have a family of 8 so we're unable to bring anyone else on trips with us. Ideally I'd like room for at least 10 or 11

Might be time for a e series. This is to be parked next to the excursion and used when extra seating is needed.

Sportsman 4×4 | The Evolution of Clydesdale

had two of these at work with v10's. really this is the answer for someone needing seats for 11.

You can fit 11 in excursion with the 4th seat, or buy a 6 door. But a 4x4 E series is going to be pretty sweet for more comfort. It fits 11 adults. oR MORE.
