So what i guess i am really wondering are the old regular bucket seats easy to take out, and can the stow-n-go last.
thanks for your help

Are they worth it? Depends on what you use your van for. They sure are worth it to me. I traded my Dodge Dakota in for the stow and go seats. It's seems like I'm always going to Lowes or someplace and hawling things. The truck was great for that, but hated that I had no room to put things besides the floor or seats. On my 2005 DGC, I stow one seat and keep the other up most of the time. That gives me room in one bin to put my tools, battery cables, furniture pad, umbrella, flash light and etc. all stowed out of sight.
When I want to put something big in the van, it's a snap to stow the seats. My brother's van, you had to take them out when putting something big in and it was a pain. With Stow & Go, your always ready. No need to go home, take the seats out and then go back and load up.
The stow and go seats are a little smaller and a little firmer, but they are not uncomfortable to set in. You have arm rests, the back will tilt and the seat will move forwards and back. I have had several people sit in them and they didn't complain.
Another reason I stow one and leave the other up. It's easy to load up the three grandkids and dog. With that one seat down, the kids can run in the van and get seated and the dog has plenty of room on the floor.
If it hadn't been for the stow-n-go feature and all that storage room, I would have kept my 2001 truck.
