I'm trying to choose between the XL and XLT Transit passenger vans, but I can't find a dealer nearby to see them in person. Is the dashboard and seating in the XLT really that much nicer than the XL? How do the second-row seats stack up? Do they adjust or recline, and are they easier to take out? I'm also considering vinyl flooring since I live near the beach. Any tips or personal experiences would be great! Thanks!
 
If you're all about that better tech and a nicer interior feel, the XLT is generally the way to go. it's definitely got that upgraded vibe. But hey, if vinyl flooring and just getting the job done are top of your list, that XL with its standard vinyl might just be for you
 
One concern with going XL is the super basic interior, it's durable but feels pretty bare, the XLT does have nicer trim and more comfort, especially if passengers matter
 
What matters more to you, comfort or easy cleanup? XLT does have nicer seats and more features, but vinyl in the XL is super practical for sandy, wet beach life, so it depends on how you'll use it
