-You lose an inch or two of vertical with sliding floor*

- The sliding floor is as heavy as a mo-fo..when you need to lift it up or out for battery service, spare tire, access to electronics



*I share a 20 gallon air compressor (horizontal tank on wheels) with a buddy to blow out sprinklers. It fits in the X5 without sliding rear and does not fit in the x5 with the sliding rear.
