Please help me find what I’m looking for

So far, I’m leaning toward Highlander

Although, that third row seating isn’t my first choice.

What would you suggest?

Check out the Chevy Traverse/GMC Acadia/Buick Enclave. Third row seating and storage with the third row up is better than the Pilot and Highlander.

DH has an Enclave. Decent third-row, much better than the Highlander. Also look at the Ascent. We went with that over the Highlander recently partially because the third row was better than the Highlander (similar to the Buick's). I've sat in the third row in both (I'm 5'4'') with no issue.

We bought an Ascent because the 3rd row felt the largest of all the SUVs we looked at, but it's still not great. The Pilot was our second choice. They were the only 2 we looked at that I could comfortably sit in the 3rd row (5'7).

How do the the Ascent/Pilots compare to a minivan in terms of external dimensions?

Are you looking for a 3rd row or not? If not, try the Santa Fe.

I'm one of the Ascent PPs. I didn't look at the actual measurements, but I went from a Sienna (for 9 years) to the Ascent. The Ascent felt slightly larger in the front initially (the Sienna has a very short nose), but I adjusted quickly. It otherwise feels the same to drive and park.

Thanks!

I have a highlander and absolutely hate it, so many bugs, the dealership service is nonexistent, would not recommend

I chose the Hyundai Palisade due to roomy third row and an appreciation for the aesthetics in the Limited trim. I felt the third row in the Sante Fe and Highlander was not very functional.

If you need that many seats plus storage get a Suburban or suck it up and get a minivan or a wagon (not much available though). There is really only one true SUV and it doesn’t come in a 7 seater option.

I would also get an MDX. I’d buy used.
