SE vs. SXT. The rear seats and bench are comfortable for 5 people. The SXT is exactly the same, but leather is cooold in winter. Both have more room than other brands. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |

Stow-n-go seating is very uncomfortable. Rotating seats have no room to sit face to face with rear seat passengers. Base model forces one to get a center bench. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |
2014 Toyota 4Runner Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2014 | Both the Toyota and Jeep have roomy second-row seats that are high enough off the floor to provide thigh support for adults. Only the Toyota offers an optional third row seat, but it's too tight to be of much use. If you want a useful third row in this sort of vehicle, check out the Dodge Durango. The Durango is essentially an extended, less off-road-capable Grand Cherokee. Its third-row seat is about as comfortable as you'll find in this size SUV or crossover. see full Toyota 4Runner review |
