Since you aren't apparently looking for a huge model like a Suburban, I'd throw out the Traversze LTZ/Buick Enclave. We have a Traverse LTZ (sticker mid 40s) and like it a lot. I didn't think I'd ever own a Chevy, but the value is pretty good. We are fully loaded with heated/ventilated seats, heated steering wheel, collission and lane alert, DVD system, etc. We have captains chairs in the second row for better access to the 3rd row seat, which is actually comfortable enough for adults. The Highlander 3rd row was a joke.

I had a 2013 Sequoia. Plenty of legroom but not the smoothest ride. My F150 drives much smoother and has about the same leg room in the back seat. It also got terrible gas mileage. My buddy just bought a Lincoln MDX. Smoothest riding SUV I've ever ridden in. And fully loaded. He's 6'5 and 2 kids and has plenty of leg room.

Did not know he was in the "too stupid to get your vehicle into park" group.

I don't think you'll get much more space unless you get one of the biggest SUV's. A friend has a Q7 and they're really nice but with 3 rows of seats you don't really get more legroom per row in the back.

All this Jeep talk and Google is banner ad'ing the crap out of me with Dodge ads. Greedy ass Mods is our premium subscriptions not enough for you?

Tell me more about why you don't like the Grand Cherokee. I was looking to upgrade my Cherokee to a Grand Cherokee.

I like it a lot. there's just not enough space for the two kid seats in the back seat. there's like a mile of cargo space behind those seats. I wish I could move them back into that.
Your issues with the vehicle in no way would be an issue of mine

you want to buy my jeep? it's in good shape and has like 65k miles on it. new tires in october. otherwise I'm just going to trade it in and almost certainly get ripped off.

Too many miles for me. I bet Slobber will jump all over it tho.

I would love that car sd. Would not enjoy paying for it tho

PM sent, but he'll just ignore this one, too.

Why can't you just move lil SD to the passenger side to fix that kicking issue (or teach your kid not to be an bad person, but that's none of my business)?

wetwillie · « **Reply #38 on:** June 20, 2016, 01:17:56 PM »

Why don't you pay someone to mod the back seats farther back on your current ride?

KCFDcat · « **Reply #39 on:** June 20, 2016, 01:31:18 PM »

Highlander. 3rd row configuration w bucket seats in the middle. It's a sweet ride.

gatoveintisiete · « **Reply #40 on:** June 20, 2016, 01:33:42 PM »

If you can't bring yourself to do the right thing and buy a Denali, the next best option for you is the Mercedes gl450 , would have to be gently used tho

gatoveintisiete · « **Reply #41 on:** June 20, 2016, 01:42:52 PM »

Alert, foreign docs drive these benzs and make them smell like a bad armpit, so be sure and turn on all the vents and test.

CNS · « **Reply #42 on:** June 20, 2016, 01:58:17 PM »

My mom just picked up a Nissan Pathfinder. The back seat can adjust forward and back. It has a bunch of cool tech stuff too. I think they run in the $45k range. I am 6'5" and can sit comfortably in the back. Both of my kids are tall too, and they can sit in the back with me in the front, no prob.

Its pretty great. You should check that out, SD.

are sport utility vehicles supposed to have smooth rides? seems weird. if that's what you're after, just by a minivan.

we just bought a macan, that thing is a beast.

steve dave · « **Reply #44 on:** June 20, 2016, 02:11:11 PM »

I read that the sequoia and armadas are going to be all new for 2017 so if I was going to buy one of those I'd have to wait awhile which will suck. the armadas are going to look exactly like the giant infinitis.

pissclams · « **Reply #45 on:** June 20, 2016, 02:15:36 PM »

lexus gx? personally i hate the look of those giant infinitis and mock the soccer moms that i see driving them.

I'm not going to buy a gmc, chevy, ford, dodge, or chrysler. should have included that in the initial FAQ.

There are really not many good options, most are going to be too small, that leaves you with sequoia, the Infiniti, Mercedes, Lexus gx, the Toyota and Infiniti do not ride well, the gx is a little mommyish, so that leaves you doing armpit checks on the GL450.

i was gonna say move the children's seats to the cargo area if there's so much room there, but this seems easier.
