Matt, 'glad you are enjoying yours! I only put lumber inside my vehicle when it's just a few sticks that are less than 8-9' long right up the center. Shorts can go in the back like I did yesterday. Otherwise, I use the trailer. While I was waiting for the factory to do it's thing, I was using Professor Dr. SWMBO's Outback Limited with Eyesight and had to make multiple runs for lumber required for a commission because I never put a hitch receiver on the Outback. That was a pain!!
Ken, when I bought my 2012 Grand Cherokee Overland Summit on the last day of July 2012, the next day I left on a 1000 mile round trip for business...this time around I don't anticipate a long trip until June when I'm going to head to Florida to visit my mother and see a few new-to-me relatives discovered via DNA and Ancestry.com. We may try to do a vacation trip later in the summer...it's been a few years. I'm not doing the miles I was doing any more and most of it now is taxi service for my older daughter and picking up stuff at the home center or more worthy material suppliers.
Jon, lots of cup and bottle holders, for sure, But the two in the front center console are a bit too big for the typical drink cups from S'bucks, etc., so I need to get a sleeve to fix that problem. The most common fix for that right now is to get the sleeve that's used with the ash tray in the "smoker's kit". The sleeve is available separately for a few bucks and they are apparently selling like hot cakes. The same cup holders in our 2016 Outback Limited with Eyesight are slightly smaller, but still a "little" loose. Only our 2011 Outback Limited has spring-loaded cup grips.
