Thanks everybody! I want the leather interior and premium amenities, still not sold on the sliding floor idea.
I looked in the dealerships and it seems like the Load 'N Go floor is actually HIGHER than the non moving... my other concern was the handle area is not very 'paw friendly'... Is this true? The sliding floor is actually HIGHER? It seemed like it would be harder to clean, i.e. more nooks and crannies for hair-- although the Warrierbob solution (carpet) would be something that would compensate for that. The folding 2nd row seatbacks look to be hard plastic, again not very dog friendly (Jeep uses carpet at least).
My first idea was to find a lower floor height-- so I ruled out the Jeep Commander with that dumb 3rd row that is actually HIGHER than the rear opening... and the new Grand Cherokee's cargo area is actually SMALLER than the original '01 vintage plus higher still (about the same as the Nitro)... so the Nitro fits the bill and it's less expensive and has the improved SelecTrac drive system anyhow.
