5-Seat SUV conversion kit? Or sticking to pickup only?

[<3 Crank Windows]

Curious how many here are planning to get the 5-seat SUV flat-pack conversion kit, or will you only be using your Slate in pickup form? Barring a high price tag, I'm planning to get it the SUV kit and run that most of the time since I've got a kid.

Fact that we can even ask this question is pretty damn cool!

I agree. I think this conversion is something lots of small families have been looking for.

I'll take the roof but not the seats. Lots of room for tools and keep them dry. Maybe opening windows in the back like a truck topper.

Will go with a blank slate pickup only as much as possible since 90% of my driving is local. Usually just me and sometimes my dog. Wish a bench seat was available.

It will be interesting if it is reasonably easy to convert back and forth, with similar effort to taking the top off a jeep or bronco. I also like the idea of having the SUV shell but no seat, so you have a nice enclosed but accessible bed. Perfect for my dogs.

I put in a reservation. If I follow through it will be for the pickup even though I have a res for the Scout Terra with the range extender. Different use case and vehicle class, I know.

In this TFL video they turned a stock gray pickup into a blue wrapped SUV in 1 hour. So that includes the SUV top / cap install, seats install and the wrap. They had 10 guys working on it, but still this probably signals that converting from pickup to SUV and back isn't that hard a process.
