The Magic of Stow 'n Go: How Chrysler's Seating System Maximizes Your Family's Cargo Space

Finding enough space for everything your family needs can feel like solving a puzzle. The 2025 Chrysler Pacifica eliminates this challenge with its Stow 'n Go seating and storage system – a feature that changes how New Brunswick families think about cargo space. This system has been helping families for 20 years, and the current generation offers more versatility than ever before.

Stow 'n Go works by allowing second and third-row seats to fold completely into the floor, creating a flat cargo surface throughout the vehicle. Unlike traditional fold-down seats that leave bumps and obstacles, Stow 'n Go seats disappear entirely, giving you uninterrupted cargo space from the dashboard to the rear doors.

How Stow 'n Go Creates Instant Cargo Space

The Pacifica's Stow 'n Go system starts with specially designed floor compartments built into the vehicle's structure. Second-row bucket seats fold forward and drop into these compartments with minimal effort. The third-row bench seat follows the same process, tucking neatly into its own floor storage area.

With both rows stowed, the Pacifica offers 3,978 litres of cargo space – more than many full-size pickup trucks. This creates enough room for appliances, furniture pieces, or complete camping setups. The flat loading floor sits at a comfortable height, making it easy to slide heavy items without lifting them over seat backs or obstacles.

Even with just the third row stowed, you maintain seating for five while gaining 2,477 litres of cargo space. This configuration works well for weekly shopping trips, sports equipment transport, or moving teenage belongings between homes.

Built-in Storage Bins for Daily Organization

The Stow 'n Go system includes more than just disappearing seats. Floor storage bins built into the second-row seat wells provide secure storage for valuable items, emergency supplies, or things you want to keep out of sight. These weatherproof compartments remain accessible even when the seats are in use, giving you hidden storage that thieves can't see through windows.

The bins include drain plugs, making them suitable for wet or messy items like sports gear, fishing equipment, or muddy boots. A 115-volt power outlet integrated into the storage area lets you power devices or tools directly from your vehicle.

Six Creative Ways to Use Your Stow 'n Go Space

Moving Day Partner: Transform your Pacifica into a moving truck for apartment moves or helping friends relocate. The flat floor and wide rear opening accommodate boxes, furniture, and appliances that won't fit in traditional SUVs.

Mobile Workshop: Contractors and DIY enthusiasts can carry tools, lumber, and supplies safely inside the vehicle. The enclosed space protects equipment from weather while the power outlet runs tools at job sites.

Sports Equipment Hub: Hockey bags, golf clubs, camping gear, and bikes fit easily with both rows stowed. The enclosed space keeps expensive equipment secure while multiple floor storage bins organize smaller items like cleats, helmets, or maintenance supplies.

Family Road Trip Command Center: Create sleeping space for camping trips or long-distance moves. The flat surface accommodates air mattresses while built-in storage holds clothes, food, and travel necessities.

Event Planning Assistant: Caterers, event planners, and party organizers can transport table linens, decorations, and serving equipment in clean, enclosed space. Temperature-controlled interior protects sensitive items better than pickup truck beds.

Emergency Preparedness Station: Store emergency supplies, winter gear, or disaster preparedness equipment in the floor bins. The hidden storage keeps important items available but out of sight during daily driving.

Practical Benefits for New Brunswick Families

The Stow 'n Go system adapts to seasonal needs without requiring roof racks or trailer hitches. Winter storage needs like salt bags, snow removal equipment, and emergency supplies fit easily in the floor storage. Summer camping gear, sports equipment, and beach supplies stow securely for family adventures.

The weatherproof design handles wet Maritime conditions better than truck beds or roof cargo. Items stay dry and clean while remaining secure during transport. The interior location also prevents theft of valuable equipment left in the vehicle.

Maintenance and Operation

Stow 'n Go seats operate manually using clearly marked handles and guides. The system requires no electrical power or complicated adjustments. Seats click into place when properly positioned, and floor panels sit flush when everything is correctly installed.

Regular cleaning keeps the floor storage bins functioning properly. The drain plugs allow easy cleaning after messy cargo loads, while the smooth surfaces resist staining and odor retention.
