SUVs with 3rd row seating
 

Looking into getting an SUV with 3rd row seating or a minivan. Need room for 2 adults, 2 kids, 2 dogs + sports gear.

Right now we like the Nissan Pathfinder and Honda Pilot.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

you get a minivan and we will have ot ban you :lol:

Does the pathfinder have a 3rd row option?

My Acadia has been good for the last 3 years. We like it but when the lease is up we are getting something else. It's way way way nicer that the Honda pilot.

Ford Flex.
Arcadia.
Diahatsu Charade.

Mini-van owns the wannabe SUV's.

this is true, unfortunately.

my brother just made the switch from SUV to MV, and they could not be happier.

:lol: My first car was a Charade...

I liked the Pathfinder, tho I found it lacking in power for my tastes.

You can probably get into a minivan cheaper than an suv, with all the bells and whistles. My boss and his wife have one, and seriously considered a 2nd when it came time to replace his Expedition.

minivan will be much better for what you want to do. I dont honestly know of any SUV that offers 3 rows of seats nd isnt equipped with a minimum of a 350 smallblock V8. pretty much any minivan though will provide sufficient space, decent to great fuel economy and reasonably good power.

Acadia/Enclave/Outlook/Traverse 3 rows and a 275hp V-6
Highlander 3 rows V-6
Mazda CX-9 V-6
4Runner - V-6 but optional V-8
Freestyle 3 rows V-6
Explorer V-6 but optional V-8
Pilot V-6

There are a few others as well.
