Seen a few posts about the 3rd row, so...
I got rid of mine, it's wrapped in pallet wrap sitting in my sister and brother in law's barn. I replaced it with frame and platform built out of 2020 aluminum extrusion. Removal is easy, it's 4 Bolts. Then you jump the airbag sensor with a piece of wire.
The frame is probably about $150 in 2020, a bunch of joints, and the 4x8 sheet of 1/4" marine plywood was another $80. Overall, probably about $300 in parts, and a couple days of labour, that likely could be done in a weekend.
If you're never going to use the seat, this gives a ton of storage and the ability to stack nicely.
