Toyota Highlander 3rd row seating and no RX 3rd row WHY???
hey im AJ and i heard on one of the Toyota Commericals and I went to the Charlotte Internation Auto Show Saturday and Sunday and I saw that the Toyota Highlander had an optional 3rd row seating. Just wondering how come that the RX is now larger and probably the same size of the Highlander and still doesnt have the option of the 7 passenger seating? I was just curious. By the way, the 04 LS is very nice. BMW 7 series is UGLY! to much goin on. Infinti FX saddle looking leather is like dirty. Infinti I35 has alot of cheap looking accents in the inside. just wanted yall to know

Actually
They added 3rd row seating to the 4Runner for 2004 as well. so now all the Toyota SUV's except the RAV4 come with a 3rd row available.
I'd say it's mostly that sloping rear roofline, along with lower roofline in general of the RX compared to the highlander.

You can't get it in AWD.
Take with a grain of salt.

The more perplexing question for me is why they put a third row in the Highlander. I didn't think it would fit! It must be small back there.

The 3rd seat can only handle 2 young kids. Normal size adults will have difficulty. Definitely not recommended for long trips for adults, short trips will be OK. Actually the seat cushion is fairly comfortable except there's hardly any leg room unless you are under 4 ft tall. There's about 14" of storage space behind the 3rd row seat. I personally don't think the RX330 can fit a 3rd seat in due to the sloping back window.
People will have to weigh how important it is to have a 3rd seat. It is convenient if you have extra passengers. If you have extra people all the time, you should really look at a mini van or larger SUV. Don't forget 3rd seat adds weight to the vehicle and it penalizes your gas mileage for carrying that extra weight around all the time. Just my opinion.
