Do you normally drive with your 3rd row seats in or out? Have you noticed a difference in handling/mileage with seats installed?

I leave 'em out & have storage drawers/sleeping platform in the back. Never noticed any difference with the seats or drawers in or out.

3rd row out. Didn't notice any difference in mileage. When I had them in, I had the plastic OEM bumpers. With them out, I save around 80 lbs in weight, but took on a net gain of maybe 100 lbs with the kaymar rear bar, figuring the OEM bumper and tow hitch were about 50 lbs. They'll go in if I need the extra seating space. Right now, I need the extra cargo space.
