I hate to say this but 3rd row on the 4runner is useless in a way because it is only good for little kids as far as I can see (on 4th gen 4Runner). I have two boys 8 and 9 and we saw a 4runner with third tow when we were on a camping trip last year and asked the owner if I can take a look at it , he saw we also have a 4runner and have my boys sit on it and boy, I am glad I did not get it when I bought the truck new 2005......
On a 5th gen, it's okay. It would function in a pinch for adults, but is pretty decent for my kids. Any of the younger three (7 to 11) are comfortable on a long trip. I got it because we need 6 seats, but the oldest is 16 and won't be with us much.
Actually, I think the third row is pretty well though out, but the second row should be changed. It doesn't fold flat, which can be a big help for some things.
