Love my third row and has been amazing when I need to carry a few more bodies. It also saved me from having to get a Sienna! I have a Yakima Skybox 16 that stores the strollers and Osprey Child Carriers leaving the rear empty almost 90% of the time. They can also be removed in the event that you don't need them or need the extra space.

Lol. No Bob strollers for me. I have a 2013 Mag Grey SR5. The premium was not offered as a trim package when I first purchased the truck.

For what it's worth, the old Limited I had had the sliding cargo tray which was worthless in my opinion. If I was in your situation where I was not seeking out the 3rd row, don't let it stop you. As others have mentioned, they can be removed......I just personally like the concept of rolling with a reinforced fire team. :twitch:

I just noticed your sig. I have a 2013 SR5 4runner 4wd Mag Grey w/3rd row. Soon to install Drabbits Roof Rack, Yakima Sky Box 16, Weathertech Mats and ARB Breather Mod. It looks like I found my twin on the other side of the country. Lol. I did however just order my SSS Rear Bumper and Shrockworks Front bumper on the most recent group buy so this should be coming in the next couple months.

Ive got the same truck, super white, 3rd row SR5...and i wanted it for our needs.
i own a pickup, so hauling isnt a factor. with them folded down, they have the hook mounts, so a cargo net solves any sliding issues. Road tripping with the fam, my 14yr old has the middle row to herself, then my 8yr old has the 3rd row to himself. Plus we always seem to be riding the 4 of us, +1 or 2. That third row means everyone is comfy, nobody is squished. As folks get older, taller, then maybe it wont mean as much. but for now, and the next 5-7 years, it serves its purpose.
I have sat back there before also (only 5-8). you slide the middle row up a bit, and there is enough room to sit and ride for an hour or so before you start to complain.
Add to that, you can split the two seats in the 3rd row, and cargo one side, kid-sit the other...its a nice option to have. My wife just road tripped 6, plus luggage, for a weekend from Wash DC to the Delaware Beaches...and all rode in comfort.

:iagree: Another helpful setup for those with car seats is to remove the 2nd row headrest above the car seats. This really opens up the space/clostrophobia for those in the 3rd row. Also when available putting down the "20" section of the 40-20-40 2nd row almost makes it feel more like captains chairs.

i 2nd that...
we just took a road trip, DC to Ct, and dropped the passenger side seatback of the 2nd row...my daughter in the 2nd row used it as a table top of sorts...and it opened up the 3rd row where my son was quite content, ipad plugged into the outlet next to him, yet had his own space..
and as stated, it took away the walled-off feeling as well...not that he minded.

We love our 3rd row and the slope definitely is completely unnoticeable when they are folded down. I did learn that you cannot get a 4runner 3rd floor mat but you can get a GX460 3rd row mat and it fits perfect!!! Still don't understand why the "black" floor mats are like a slate color

I wouldn't say the slope is unnoticeable, I regularly have to roll down the rear window and push cargo away from the hatch so I can open it without everything flying out. That said I do still like having the option of the third row when I need it and with a cargo mat over it most of the time no one else needs to know it's there.

Yes but it'll take some effort to locate a set and the 3rd row seatbelts will be missing if safety is a concern.
