3rd Row Seat Options?

We're expanding the family and looking into 3rd row seat options. Currently our list consists of the Toyota Grand Highlander, Land Cruiser, Buick Enclave, and Tesla Model Y. I'd love the new 4runner, but who knows when that's coming out. While creature comforts are nice, we really only care about reliability and getting us where we're going on road trips. Trying to avoid the larger gas guzzlers if we can. Any recommendations for or against these models?

If 3-rows are necessary, then you honestly cannot beat a minivan for comfort and versatility. If you just can't possibly stomach driving a minivan, then consider the Mazda CX-90.

3rd row on the cx-90 is small. We have a Pilot and it is has a bigger 3rd row. It is a shame because we really liked the Mazda.

The VW Atlas as nice too.

If OP really cared about 3rd row passengers, instead of driving something widely seen as stylish, then they'd be considering a minivan, since they said they'd rather not buy a larger, gas guzzling SUV like a Sequoia, Expedition, Tahoe, Yukon, etc.

It's kids as passengers in 3rd row. It'll be okay. I'm not worried about style at all. I even said that idc about creature comforts 😂 i just asked for reviews and yall have gotten in your feelings over minivans for some reason.

I also suggested Mazda CX-90, but you said 3rd row seats were too small...Even for kids apparently.

I don't see where I said that about the Mazda. Wrong person
