But the second row has to tumble in order to reach the third row, where adults would be sitting if car seats are in the second row. But you can’t tumble with a car seat. Also, adults can’t fit in the third row. And there’s no storage space if the third row is up. I still like the sequoia, but how do you use it then?

That's the conundrum with any of the three row SUVs/Crossovers until you're in Suburban size territory. Only a couple have any usable space behind the third row and the seats back there are barely usable for adults. However, it's very nice to have when you need them for kids friends or that night you drew the short straw to carpool or play DD. Otherwise, our third row stays down on my wife's Atlas. I think the 3rd row has been used 5 times in the 3.5 years we've had it, but the cargo volume is amazing.

It's pretty crazy how much cargo volume the solid axle robs. Seats can't fold into the floor, suspension packaging, etc. Look at the new IRS Tahoe numbers compared to the previous gen. 95ft vs. 122ft now. Or the GX460 numbers at a horribly low 65ft. IRS and unibodies are the thing to buy if cargo space is your game. The Tahoe outsells Sequoias like crazy as it is. I think the new Sequoia will be great, but that's a lot of coin for something that big that's as packable as a 4Runner.
