TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2018 Chrysler Pacifica

2018 Chrysler Pacifica Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Chrysler has revised its "Stow 'n Go" seats a few times to improve their comfort, and the latest ones are better. But they still feel smaller, firmer, and less comfortable than the conventional captain's chairs in competitors. This noted, unless you'll regularly carry adults in back, and they're picky about seat comfort, the Pacifica's seats should be good enough. A removable center seat for the second row has been added to the options list. With this seat the Pacifica can, like the Sienna and Odyssey, carry eight people in a pinch. But the same seat in the Sienna is much more comfortable. The Pacifica's third row is more competitive in terms of comfort. Roominess in both cases is better than in the Kia Sedona, perhaps about even with the Toyota Sienna, and less than in the Honda Odyssey, which is the roomiest of the bunch. If you're used to a crossover any of these minivans will seem very roomy. The third-row seats in most crossovers aren't in the same league. see full Chrysler Pacifica review

2017	4dr Minivan, ext. 287-horsepower 3.6L V6 9-speed automatic FWD	The seats are still more thinly padded than the competition - and the third row seat angle is merely adequate. My mother in law noted that our Ody 3rd row is really like a standard seat - not "3rd class" - but the Pacifica made her feel like she was "stuck in the back". see full Chrysler Pacifica review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Ford Expedition

2014 Ford Expedition Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	0	The driven Limited trim had black heated and cooled front seats. The cooling was necessary in the summertime Texas heat and perfomed well - I turned them on every time I got in the car (unlike the Lexus system, that you can leave on as it is a dial, you have to activate the cooling every single time you restart the car). These thrones were comfortable for a 4 hour drive - there was more room for someone who has more girth than I. Also, adjustable pedals are a great Ford innovation that I wish more manufacturers would include. My wife (who is 11 inches shorter than me) could easily drive this beast comfortably, without sitting too close to the steering wheel. see full Ford Expedition review
2014	0	Both the second and third rows have ample room, with and without kid's car seats, for three across. The third row isn't an afterthought like in other SUVs and even 5'11" adults are happy back there. Additionally, the vents provide adequate AC in 100+ degree heat. There are plenty of easily accessible LATCH anchors if you wish (although seatbelts are generally just as easy and have a higher weight rating with car seats than the LATCH anchors). Most minivans (except the Odyssey) do not have LATCH in the center of the second row - only on the outboard - and only have LATCH in the center of the third row. The Expedition (and Odyssey) is nice because they are flexible where you can put car seats comfortably. see full Ford Expedition review
