What SUV's have a 3rd seat option???

[Kevin Palmer]

Looking to get my wife a replacement vehicle. Presently she has a 2003 Explorer with the 3rd seat option. That is the only thing we must have, the rest we can get, like leather, power roof and what not...



I am familiar with the Lexus options, but looking for input on what is out there.



Thanks in advance...

I will be checking out all suggestions today. I can not put her into anything too small as she had a REALLY BAD accident, since then, pretty much full size SUV's.



I guy crossed the medium, launched in the air, landed on her car, (Custom build Trans Am SE) and crushed her inside for 3 hours. Ended up life flighting her to the hospital, end result, she is fine, but,,,, the damage is done mentally.

We've got a Honda Pilot. 3rd row seat is standard (folds flat) and it got GREAT crash test ratings.

I had a Durango......3rd seat option.



Was great if I could have kept it running.......

How about the new expedition?

Just bought my wife a RAV4 a few months ago. Although we did not get the 3rd seat option, it's available. We got rid of an Expedition. Didn't require a big gas hog anymore. Nice to have something that's fun to drive.

My daughter bought a Suburban because of the 3rd seat which the Tahoe does not have. Also, the Dodge Durango has a 3rd seat.

Nissan Pathfinder has one. Not something you want to use for really long trips though. New Explorer has a 3rd row seat that folds down real nice.

How about a good, used import? It will cost about the same as a new domestic, but you are more likely to get 100K miles out of it (in addition to whatever it already has) without having to make an major repairs.



The Volvos, BMWs and Mercedes are nice. I have linked a local guy near me that specializes in such import resales:

expedition has $5000 rebate or 0% for 72 months i priced on the other day $32000 loaded

 

[Victor Garret]

my fiance is wanting this too, she likes the new Nissan Pathfinder, but i think the Toyota highlander also has a 3rd row seat as well.

 

[Kevin Palmer]

I know the Highlander does as an option.



Still doing the research.



I appreciate your input on the vehicles...

Jeep Commander has one as well. Not too huge a vehicle either, as compared to Expy, Suburban. Hemi sucks the gas tho.

 

[Donal Cahill]

Volvo XC90. Also easy on gas

What about a crossover? Ford Freestyle has three rows. It gets good mileage from what I hear.

>> What about a crossover? Ford Freestyle has three rows.



Yeah, that would be cheaper than a used XC90, but you will need that saved money to rent something when the Ford's in the shop and for the costly repairs that will happen after 60K miles and off warranty...all of which are much less likely with an import!

We are looking for a decently loaded vehicle, needs to be leather, 4 wheel or all wheel drive, with the third seat option. Although money is not a huge factor. I am anticipating spending 30,000 to 33,000 for a used vehicle if it is worth it. Less it if is less of a vehicle..



Looking for a 2004 or newer.

Chrysler Pacifica and the new Chrysler Aspen also options

We had a Lexus GX470 w/ 3rd row seats, but they were the side facing cubby seats and pretty useless in my opinion.
