Holy Humongous Back Seat!

tmahanes · Aug 20, 2014

I knew the 2nd row in my Sequoia was big but holy cow I didn't realize it was that big!

I reinstalled B's RN tonight because he wants to ride "backwards" again and just put it in without taking the Frontier out.

There was tons of space. Just for fun I tried the Frontier on either side of the RN and at no time were they touching!

So you can three across Frontier (seat belt) - RN RF (with latch) - Frontier (seat belt).

Passengers Side

Space Between Seats

Drivers Side

Space between seats

My best friend has a Sequoia and we got three FR85's across that second row. If it weren't such a beast of a vehicle I'd consider one! (No way could I park that thing, but she makes it feel like a Civic)

my dad has an F350 dually that I have been driving since 16 so parking the Sequoia is nothing compared to that ;-)

Very cool! I have an e350 Ford 12 passenger van. One day I put 3 RFings MR 65 on 1 bench. It looked amazing. With I would have taken a pic I couldn't leave it like that because it blocked our way to the 3rd row. But still....I have a little thrill just knowing it could be done, lol.

That's awesome! I was thinking, what is it? I need one! But I don't need a Sequoia. Mainly it's just me in the car. Driving a Sequoia would be a waste. Oh, well!

When I bought it I was the only person it in mostly and it is really big for that. However it is so comfy and drives really well. I just love it.... It has 180000 miles and I am hoping it makes it to 300000.

But now even though B is my only little we often take our parents and my grandparents places and the cargo space is well used too!

I know this is your thread about your vehicle, so I'll make it quick. I find that the beastly comments about the big SUVs doesn't hold true for all of them. My Expy is more nimble and easier to park than our Altima. It's big, but I can still whip it in a space easier than the car.

Exactly!

Lol...I'm sure it seems tiny in comparison!

I've had to drive besties sequoia a few times and I'm always pleasantly surprised at how easily it handles and it's amazing turning radius. I still feel like I'm driving something beastly, but I'm just used to my smaller vehicles.

I had a 2 door sunfire before this.... Now in something that small I feel very claustrophobic... Which is very irrational!
