Hello everyone,
I cannot thank everyone enough for all of the helpful information I’ve learned on this site. In June, we received our 2013 Limited with 2nd row bucket seats (absolutely love it). We wanted the bucket seats but didn’t want the console installed so it would be easy to get to the 3rd row with our kids car seats in the second row. We ordered it with the console because it’s only $100 with the idea to just remove it and could use it in the future. I also ordered the plastic plate to cover up the mount for the console.
However, this is where the warning comes in! When I removed the console, I was extremely surprised when the carpet was cut out under the console!! So, for now we’re going to have to keep it in and just learn to hop over it. Too bad, it would have been nice to have the option and I don't understand why they would have cut it out. I just wanted to warn everyone that if you don’t want the console in, DO NOT order it.
