I carry a tool belt behind the passenger seat (in that space) plus have room between the seat and that "shelf" for an emergency kit that includes jumper cables, etc...).
Found a stock photo from a 5500, but my 1500 has the same thing:
The reason you like four doors, is the reason I like two doors. I am never called upon to shuttle people---I keep the center console DOWN, and pretend I do not know that 3rd seat is there :)
