With the power adjustable front seat, both myself (at just over 6 feet tall) and my wife (5 foot 5) can find plenty of leg room. The additional seat width is appreciated for me (over our past viechle) as I have long arms & need more elbow room than most. see full Dodge Durango review |

With a growing family, we needed 3 rows of seats that can actually haul people of normal size. It seems the 3rd row of some SUVs are made for 10 year olds. This viechle fits 8 people in a pinch, 7 comfortably. see full Dodge Durango review |

I bought this vehicle to be able to transport my grandchildren back and forth between New Jersey and Ohio. I have the 2LT version with four captains chairs and really enjoy the convienence of not having to move a middle row seat to allow one of them to get into the "way back". Having three kids jammed together in a middle seat for an 8 hour drive is courting disaster--that's why I needed that third seat. Everyone has plenty of space. Normally I find any drive over 4 hours a bit uncomfortable but the seat and driver's position was very relaxing and comfortable. This particular vehicle has the most room for storage behind the third seat than any in its class. It is only beat by minivans and they just aren't my kind of vehicle. see full Chevrolet Traverse review |
