Lots of room in the backs seat, and actually decent 3rd row seating for the kids. Kills the cargo area though. see full Toyota 4Runner review |

This is a vehicle designed for people 5 fett 11 inches and under - no two ways about it. If you are 5 feel 11 or over you will not enjoy this truck. see full Toyota 4Runner review |

The consequence of reducing overall height while maintaining trail worthy obstacle clearance is a relatively low to floor seating position more attune to sedans. Seats are comfortable though even for a big framed person. see full Toyota 4Runner review |

Seat position low to floor leaves you sitting with a knee high position. Seats itself are comfortable, but there is no space for your feet under the front seats. All floor surfaces are almost flat though considering it truck roots. see full Toyota 4Runner review |

The best thing is the flexibility of the cabin configuration. I have tall in-laws and my wife and I are both tall, so the adjustments you can make to the cabin configuration depending on the use are important. see full Chevrolet Equinox review |

See above. When we are alone, we put the back seats all the way forward and the front seats all the way back, maximizing hauling space. When accompanied, we change it to maximize rear passenger spce. see full Chevrolet Equinox review |

Seat is okay on the interstate, but on a twisty road - forget it! Good thing it has a drivers door and a console, otherwise you would fall out or wind up in the passenger seat. Speaking of the console, what a joke!!! Idiot that designed that should be see full Chevrolet Equinox review |
