Just curious. Your signature lists the inflatable spare tire kit as an option. Are you listing what you will have after adding it? If your build sheet shows the inflatable spare tire kit, it should be there. FYI it is not the same option as the emergency tire inflator that came with my Pac.

 

Welcome @ahartnet! I've had my 2020 for two days and my head is spinning looking addons.

If you're loading: the rear bumper protector is something you should look into: https://www.amazon.com/Dawn-Enterprises-Protector-Compatible-Chrysler/dp/B079NNBBCB

Here are some other liners (non-mopar): Amazon.com : pacifica rear liner

On my old Odyssey, I used a tarp solution which did the job. Got if from Costco, it was a tarp that had the ability to protect up the sides of the cargo area. something like this: CarGo Apron: Full Coverage Cargo Liner

Yah, mine didn't come with a spare either, kinda bummed.

 

I have Cargo Area Liner and I like it a lot. I fold every seat and this tucks in nicely in the back and on the sides. Removed easily too when I want to clean it or use the van for cargo.

I use a RevTime 5x8 yoga mat - $149 on Amazon. Lay it in place and cut two small notches by side door so it lays flat

 

Hi all,

What are the two square-shaped metal pieces for? The ones just behind the yoga mat towards the edges of the picture? I'm in the market for a Pacifica and nobody at the dealership knew. Thanks.

 

You can roll it up easily and take it out, flip over sections to expose seats, or section it if you want. Here’s the notches:

 

Oh yea - it won’t discolor the carpet and it’s waterproof

 

Weathertech window covers if your camping or want privacy, or want to keep interior cooler

 

If you’re driving cross country, worried about bathrooms and the virus, and you have the window screens:

 

Do you have links for this?

 

Yes it’s a portable toilet grin

 

I admit I like the look of the bumper protector, I have a different solution to the other things mentioned here including the camping part and they are just not feasible for mentioning here. However the couple of times I have wanted to get into the back of the Pacifica I have been concerned about the bumper paint.

 

Best idea I saw for protection while hauling was a bagster:

Hauling junk in the brand new expensive van.

To get going with the spring clean up I purchased a Bagster. Its 8x4 footprint matches the interior dimension of the van with all seats folded. I cut the rear wall for loading and bumper protection and used the hanger hooks to keep the Bagster upright.

Seems like a great idea.

 

Got a new 2020 Pacifica Touring L. I had an '06 Prius that I LOVED! But after 250k miles, I decided to provide it to another family that needed it and get a new vehicle to fit some of my needs.

I got this vehicle largely due to it being one of the few (or only) vehicles that I could:

• fit a full 4x8 sheet of plywood in it
• tow 3000 lb
• have android auto
• can fit 40" tall machines and tools in it

I didn't realize that by taking a car that had the compressor option I was giving up the spare tire. I also didn't realize it didn't come with some removable mat that I could put over the whole area with the seats down - as I will normally be transporting cargo and not people.

So I am looking for suggestions! I'd hate to just shove in a tarp because that'd be pretty ugly, and don't really want to custom cut some garage mat tiles to fit in the cargo space. A quick look around and I'm only finding this as an option: Chrysler Pacifica Cargo Area Liner (Part No: 82214535AB) - any other suggestions?

I'm going to be looking into doing the swap for the compressor to the spare tire. It'll stink to lose the shelving, but I want to leave all the seats stowed most of the time. I see lots of forum posts referencing the swap out, but am having trouble finding where to buy the spare tire kits and/or a youtube video of the swap. It's be great if anyone has advice.

Any other QoL purchases I would want to consider? Besides transporting full sheets of plywood and tools, I may occasionally be transporting my dog on cross country drives =)

There are a few spare tire threads if you use the search feature. I ordered my inflatable spare and trim piece through the dealer to save on shipping costs. You will still need the compressor to inflate the spare tire if you ever have to use it. The spare can fit in a stow n go well (in gas Pacificas) if you want to put it there instead of getting rid of the shelf. If you put it where the shelf is, you will need a trim piece to cover the spare. Check to see if it is included when pricing.

Would spare tire fit in Stow-N-Go well?

Hi All. I'm planning to get a Limited with the Vacuum, which means it won't come with a spare tire. I see the inflatable spare tire kit is available to purchase separately, but it obviously can't be mounted in its intended spot because the vacuum is there. Does anyone know if it would fit in...

No, I’ve had no issues with parts being damaged. The mat is a good protector. Obviously the output vents under the mat can’t be used, unless you make cutouts for them. The way I have it covering the sides in back, the input vent for the rear HVAC unit is covered, but a simple cutout on the flap on the passenger side, near the rearmost seatbelt, would solve that issue. I wouldn’t run the rear AC with that vent covered. I suspect it might damage the unit. We just never use it...

 

Awesome! Thank you so much for your reply! I would never use the rear AC either as my stuff in the back doesn't need climate control right? haha. I was just concerned that if I accidentally turned it on something would explode/burn/melt. Thanks again! I'll look for that mat on Amazon.

PS: I like all your ideas for making the back into your private restroom hehe.

 

Since two people use the sleeping area, a divider between my head and the van seems desirable...

 

I only had to make two cuts to make it lay flat - has planned to trim the edges in back, but left them as they offered protection to the panels, and helped contain any water spills Here’s one cut near the drivers door - same cut on the other side

 

I've used Canvas Back cargo liners in my last four vehicles and absolutely love them. They velcro into place and are designed for each vehicle so fit perfectly. Being made of canvas, they are easy to clean (wipe down or throw in the washer)but are a bit slippery for pets so I have a big blanket I put over mine. Here are a few pics from my previous X5.





This was in my wife's VW wagon with pups in the pic and blanket over the cargo liner.

 

Don't worry, you'll be making additional purchases after its out of warranty.

 

When I needed to move a bunch of moving boxes I placed a 4x8 sheet of 1/8" hardboard with the rough side up. Worked great and was under $10.
