We sat in a 2004 4Runner the other day and I was a little disappointed in the creature comforts. The front seats sat low in relation to the floor--it was like sitting in a sports car. I know I've been spoiled by sitting in actual chairs in my Sienna! Even our RAV4 has more leg dangling space than the new 4Runner.
Also, the optional 3rd row seats sit right against the back tailgate. What kind of a safety issue is this? Dh compared it to a side impact--with the door being so close to the seats. Would that be accurate?
Is the Pilot similar to the 4Runner in this regard? Is the 3rd row in the Pilot optional or included? We don't need the 3rd row. Does the tailgate window on the pilot open?
Thanks!
