SUVs with 3rd row seating

MissHell · 03-19-2010, 02:30 PM

Looking into getting an SUV with 3rd row seating or a minivan. Need room for 2 adults, 2 kids, 2 dogs + sports gear.

Right now we like the Nissan Pathfinder and Honda Pilot.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Does the pathfinder have a 3rd row option?

My Acadia has been good for the last 3 years. We like it but when the lease is up we are getting something else. It's way way way nicer that the Honda pilot.

my brother just made the switch from SUV to MV, and they could not be happier.

My first car was a Charade...

I liked the Pathfinder, tho I found it lacking in power for my tastes.

You can probably get into a minivan cheaper than an suv, with all the bells and whistles. My boss and his wife have one, and seriously considered a 2nd when it came time to replace his Expedition.

minivan will be much better for what you want to do. I dont honestly know of any SUV that offers 3 rows of seats nd isnt equipped with a minimum of a 350 smallblock V8. pretty much any minivan though will provide sufficient space, decent to great fuel economy and reasonably good power.

Acadia/Enclave/Outlook/Traverse 3 rows and a 275hp V-6
Highlander 3 rows V-6
Mazda CX-9 V-6
4Runner - V-6 but optional V-8
Freestyle 3 rows V-6
Explorer V-6 but optional V-8
Pilot V-6

There are a few others as well.
