2013 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 |
