3rd Row Seats for 4Runner

Have you thought about asking the Toyota dealer you bought it from this question?

Adding the third row seat is a fairly expensive proposition. The seat assembly (if they even come in an assembly and not as individual parts - frames, latches, hinges, springs, upholstery, etc) and seat belts will probably cost over $2,000, and replacing the middle seat with one that folds forward will probably cost another $1,500. It would have been less expensive to get a vehicle with the third row seats installed at the factory.

Thanks for the response, Ray.

Getting the 4Runner with the third row seat was my first choice, but, they didn't have any at the dealership. The guys said they are very rare.

Yes, I did. I just don't believe everything they tell me. This forum seems a lot more credible to me.

Thanks.

They couldn't order it in?

I have a "rare" loaded TRD Off road 4x4 Tacoma, with a stick shift (the rare part), that nobody had in stock. Six weeks later, it was all mine. Exactly like I wanted it, in my choice of color.

If I can't get a new car exactly like I want, I might as well save the "new depreciation" cash and buy a used car.

You're welcome! The other thing I didn't mention is that the 3rd row seating in the 4Runner is very tight, with very little leg room. I guess I'm spoiled by the 3rd row seats in our Sequoia, which are more comfortable and roomy than many minivans.
