Does the 5 seat have an extra battery, otherwise the rear is flat and I can't imagine the foot well from the 7 seater is just wasted space in the 5 seater

No extra battery modules. It probably just becomes extra cargo space?

Correct. You just get to use both the flat space and the stowage space for cargo.

With the third row you get to use the flat space behind the third row *and* the stowage space, or if the seats are stowed, then you get the full flat area of the seats and behind them.

This is my reason for preferring a 2-row configuration. I currently drive a 3-row SUV, and since I bought it in 2018, I've pulled the 3rd row up from the stowed position exactly twice. But cargo capacity? I've regularly decided that I didn't have room for something. Of course, I'm in a two person, two dog household. If I was in a four person household, wanting the third row for a guest might become a frequent enough occurrence to merit the 3-row configuration. That said, it is something I want to see in person before finalizing which configuration I want. If the extra storage from 2 rows seems minimally useful, the 3 row might still make sense. If nothing else, it might retain better resale value.

. . . the 3 row might still make sense. If nothing else, it might retain better resale value.

A real consideration. A lot of people who opt for a full-size SUV need it because of the third row.

Same thing with the towing package. I will never need it, but a subsequent buyer might.

All fair points, but I would definitely look at one first; there is much more storage even with the third row stowed than you'd expect.
