Oh you turned it into captain chairs nice
XLs: do you keep max seating capacity, or ditch one of the seats for easy access?
Please discuss

Minus arm rests....so far so good.
Pax like, less hassle, and FAR more comfortable being able to see what's going on in the back

I think that's the right move, that's what I would do if I drove XL. Interesting that your 2nd row is 3 separate seats that can be removed rather than 40/60, but if I had a 40/60 I wouldn't hesitate to remove the 40. That'd be so much easier for everyone, even if you don't uber full time. Unless you NEED all those seats when not Ubering, there's no reason why you wouldn't just remove the 40 and keep it in the garage. It can be to difficult to remove and reinstall if needed.
I own a Dodge Grand Caravan and drive for uberXL on some weekends. I currently have seating for 6 however I "stow" one of the rear seats to allow for a booster seat that I carry all the time.
In my experience a family of 5 seats comfortably and as an added touch if a child is under 8 I insist in putting in the booster.
In the end the family is very happy with the booster and the driver received a small gratuity.... win win, not to mention a fantastic rating.

Families take XL????
So far my XL experience hasn't seen more then 3 pax , a few XL request have been for just one or two people . I only have about 7 XL / Plus rides under my belt but so far my being 1 seat short hasn't even come close to being an issue. I'm installing a cargo carrier on top of my vehicle too so if I do get a 5 pax ride with a lot of luggage I'll still be in good shape since I could probably only do 2 large suit cases and 3 carry ons if I had to sit 5 people
The majority of my XL rides have just been people with Skiis/Snowboards or just a ton of luggage

Sounds like the Denver XL market is really underdeveloped.
We have plenty of Lyft Plus and UberXL in OC & LA... mostly groups of 3-6, though I have seen 7 and even 8, but also the occasional 1 (extremely tall men; women concerned about safety during rainstorms and specifically saying they decided to order a 4x4 just in case) or 2 (generally, guys who hoped to pick up some chicks on their way home from a party but struck out; or couples with luggage on airport runs)
I should have said I've only done about 15 rides total since starting xl even split between xl and select and then 2 regular x rides. I only work part timeWow....sorry to hear that.

XL should be better than Select if you do nights... see if you can get a switchable account to lock you OUT of select pings at willI should have said I've only done about 15 rides total since starting xl even split between xl and select and then 2 regular x rides. I only work part time
Wouldn't want to do base rate select sitting in 4.0 surge
PS I'm assuming Colorado does it like California, where XL surges in tandem with X surge
Yes it does surge x and xl the same but only do mornings no nights. 90% of my rides are Airport rides. I usually 8am to about 11am a few days a weekXL should be better than Select if you do nights... see if you can get a switchable account to lock you OUT of select pings at will
