Layflat front bench

[scouter39]

Since there is a flat bench seat across the front it would be neat if you could fold if flat that touches the back seats like a bed so you can sleep in it.

Plus if the rear seat could recline flat like an old van.
I remember some old Puegot vehicles the front seats would recline after you removed headrests then they would fill voids and be totally sleepable for couple or more

We have a 1997 Japanese imported rhd van. The front seats will slide forward a little, then recline to lay all the way down. All we have to do is remove the headrests, and the shoulder portion of the front seats lines up perfect with the back seat. And then the back seats recline all the way flat, so it make 2 twin sized beds.

With the option in the scout for a bench front seat, then seems very doable. And since the scout seats will be power, have it on a one touch button, like the Pacifica does to move the front seats up and out of the way so you can access the 2nd row stow and go seat storage.

I can see a fitted sheet, that is slightly padded, to be stretched over the scouts flat seat configuration, to keep small items from falling in the cracks and to level out the slight undulations. Where the seat bolsters or seams are. Not required, but to really have the car camping experience, that is what I would do. Imagine laying there, looking through the panoramic roof at the stars slide by, while the battery keeps the cabin toasty, and the harvester reange extender gives you peace of mind that you wont be stranded the next morning to get home. And cooking pancakes and sausage on an electric griddle you can plug into your mobile kitchen setup in the frunk.

Exactly, be it a rest stop or down by a lake.
I’ve done a lot of sleeping bags on ground but the old joints are starting to feel the ground more. Laying flat staring out cabana roof yes please

I hope the bench functions similar.
