Just read Thai's Inside Line article linked above and there must be a mis-print here:
Quote:
With the seats folded down, the load floor is completely flat, but there's no under-floor storage, as the seat bottoms slide rearward when the seatbacks flip forward. It's also worth noting that overall cargo capacity is down considerably. In the GX 470, the third-row seats could be taken out, leaving up to 49.7 cubic feet of space. Fold the GX 460's third-row seats and it only opens up 17 cubic feet of space. Space behind the third row is down from 13.2 cubic feet to 4.2 cubic feet.

Only 17 cubic feet behind the 2nd row with 3rd row folded compared to 49.7 in the 1st gen with seats removed? And only 4.2 behind the 3rd row? I'm sorry but that is way too much space to give up for the fold-flat convenience, especially since most folks I know with the 3rd row T4R/GX are like me and use it sparingly.
