It's a L shaped couch.. and the XJ cabin height with the seats down isn't all that tall to begin with let alone to fit a couch..

lol, I don't know, the weight of the couch will probably be just inside the XJ's wheel house for towing capacity. We'll also have to take into account aerodynamics of the couch for fuel saving purposes. :thumbup:

You don't get much in terms of "aerodynamics" when you're driving a box down the highway at 70mph..
