2006 GMC Yukon Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr SUV, ext. 320-horsepower 5.3L V8
4-speed automatic RWD
The standard power seat offers unlimited seating positions. see full GMC Yukon review
2006 4dr SUV 335-horsepower 6.0L V8
4-speed automatic AWD
The seats are big, have a good amount of padding, and still provide some side lubar support to help keep you in the seat during hard cornering. see full GMC Yukon review
2005 4dr SUV 335-horsepower 6.0L V8
4-speed automatic AWD
Plenty of room for driver to stretch legs. Makes long trips easier see full GMC Yukon review
2005 4dr SUV 335-horsepower 6.0L V8
4-speed automatic AWD
Seat is very configurable. Easy to find a comfortable position. see full GMC Yukon review
2005 4dr SUV 335-horsepower 6.0L V8

Captains chairs might be more comfortable than front seats. 3rd row is essentially useless. Remove the seats for extra storage space see full GMC Yukon review
 

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2021 Toyota Highlander

2021 Toyota Highlander Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
With each redesign (for 2008, 2014, and 2020) Toyota has enlarged the Highlander, yet the crossover's third-row seat remains uncomforably low and tight. For adults to be even passably comfortable in the way-back the second row must be slid forward, rendering legroom there also marginal. Some three-row crossovers have much roomier and more comfortable third-row seats. But if you want to be able to squeeze in eight people, Highlanders with a second-row bench can do this. Because they have significantly narrower third-row seats, the Ford Explorer and Kia Sorento cannot fit three people back there even in a pinch, so in hybrid form the former has a maximum capacity of seven people and the latter only six. (The Sorento PHEV will be able to seat seven.) This noted, if you want your adult passengers to have plenty of room, the practical capacity of each is four people. see full Toyota Highlander review

The 3rd row seating is just not for adults at all, and I'm not certain that children would be easy to fit back there as well. I'm not sure what Toyota was thinking, even making the 2020 longer didn't make any difference at all. My one complaint is it is just TOO SMALL! see full Toyota Highlander review
