I use an old rolled up sleeping bag on the floor between the second row bucket seats to fill the void. The hammock bridges right over it perfectly and attaches to the front and second row head rests to suspend itself. It really works great and now I can haul my cargo in the rear again with easier access than pilling stuff on second and third row seats. Oh and FYI for those who like to carry tools,rags,tow strap, etc.....like I do, those black ammo cans I bought at tractor supply hold a good bit of stuff. They also are wedged behind those plastic side brackets that hold the flip up rear shelf. They fit there tight and never move or slide when the third row seats are upright of course. This probably only works with EL models I presume.
