SUVs with a 3rd Row

I am looking into a Chevy Tahoe. Anyone have any opinions on those? Or if you have a truck that you love with a 3rd row please recommend it! Thanks :)

Re: SUVs with a 3rd Row

I have a Tahoe. We Love it! We don't use the 3rd row too often but when we do we still have plenty of room for our belongings and a double stroller
Rides nice and looks good too :)

I have the volvo xc90 and I like it but with two car seats you really cant access the 3rd row.

Re: SUVs with a 3rd Row

I have a Honda piolt and i cant complain.
I have had 2 adults and a carseat in the middle and two adults with room for a 3rd person in the 2nd row all at once and there was still room in the trunk for the stroller n some bags.

SUVs with a 3rd Row

I have the Tahoe and for now we have the third row out but once we start driving around with the baby and traveling we will throw the third row back in b/c that will be where the dog has to go and there is still a lot of room back there when the third row is up. Love my truck it is very comfortable DH says it feels like he is driving on a couch it's so comfy

If you need to access the 3rd row regularly then I would get a truck with second row captains. It is a lot easier to access the 3rd row and easier to fit the kids in.

I have 3 kids, I drive a Yukon Denali XL. It's a big truck but I LOVE it. I have captains in the middle and it works out great.

A lot of the crossovers offer a 3rd row but they aren't true seats.

We have a Suburban, which is just an extended Tahoe. We love it. At first the size intimidated me, but now I can't imagine anything else.

I agree. Captain's chairs in second row is a must if you need access to 3rd row and you have car seats in the second row. I have 3 kids, so my oldest is in 3rd row, and the two other kids are in captains seats and the 3rd row is easily accessible.

I have a CUV (Buick Enclave) and it's one of the true full 3rd row seats. Plenty of leg room for adults.

I love my Pilot but, I do find it difficult to access the third row with 2 carseats. We don't use it often so it's not a huge deal.

I saw a commercial for an Infinity SUV and they are making it easier to access the third row, even with carseats - so I'm hoping down the road it will cross to other models!

I originally wanted captain's chairs for the second row, but we went with one that didn't have it b/c of availability. It's so easy to access the 3rd row with the bench. And I'm glad to have the extra seat, b/c I have had 8 people in the car.

Re: SUVs with a 3rd Row

We have the Mercedes GL450. We love it and the 3rd row is very comfortable. My Dad, who is 60, has no problem climbing back there. The only thing is that with 2 car seats, we need to always take one out to let people climb into the back and there is not a ton of trunk space when the 3rd row is up. I like the idea of the two captain seats in the middle, but those cars are just too big for me right now. Baby steps Chat Icon

LOVE my Acadia. I have the captains seating in the second row so the 3rd is easily accessible. It's so roomy and drives nicely. I really like the Tahoes too though.

Re: SUVs with a 3rd Row

i wanted the tahoe but ended up going with the acadia denali, when the third row is being used theres almost double the trunk space then the tahoe, that made the decision for us.
