Three-Row SUVs Built for Treasure Valley Families
A third row changes what a family vehicle can do. It's the difference between two trips to a Saturday tournament and one, or between leaving grandparents at home and bringing everyone to McCall. Driven sells used vehicles with third-row seating from our lot at 12393 W Fairview Ave in Boise, and the selection covers every size and budget: midsize SUVs like the Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, Hyundai Palisade, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia, full-size SUVs like the Toyota Sequoia and Chevrolet Suburban, luxury SUVs like the Volvo XC90 and Audi Q7, the all-electric Kia EV9, and minivans like the Toyota Sienna.
The three-row SUVs on our lot tend to be all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, which matters when a February morning on Bogus Basin Road follows a school run down Fairview. Check each listing for drivetrain, seating and towing equipment, and bring the whole family for a test drive. Car seats and all.
Midsize or Full-Size: Choosing the Right Three-Row
Most families start with a midsize three-row crossover. The Toyota Highlander has a long reputation for durability and drives like a smaller vehicle than it is, so it's easy to park downtown and easy to see out of. The Honda Pilot is a roomy, practical alternative, and many EX-L models seat eight. The Hyundai Palisade, sold since the 2020 model year, packs upscale features into a mainstream price, while the Buick Enclave in Avenir trim and the GMC Acadia in Denali trim lean toward near-luxury comfort. In these midsize SUVs, the third row is best for kids and shorter trips.
If adults will ride in the third row regularly, or you tow a camper or boat, a body-on-frame full-size SUV is the better fit. The Chevrolet Suburban offers enormous passenger and cargo room, and the generation introduced for 2021 added an independent rear suspension and more third-row space. The Toyota Sequoia is built on Toyota's full-size truck platform. Second-generation Sequoias, sold through 2022, use a V8, and the current generation that arrived for 2023 uses Toyota's i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain. For a trailer headed up Highway 55 or to Lucky Peak, this is the class to compare. Towing capacity depends on the specific engine, drivetrain and equipment, so check the listing or ask us about the vehicle you're considering.
Luxury, Electric and Minivan Options
Three-row luxury SUVs lose a lot of value in their first years, which works in your favor when you buy used. A Volvo XC90 or Audi Q7 that cost far more new can land closer to a mainstream SUV budget, with premium interiors and technology intact. Before you buy any European luxury SUV, ask about maintenance and repair costs so there are no surprises later, and consider an independent pre-purchase inspection, which Driven welcomes at the buyer's expense.
The Kia EV9 brings a full third row to an electric SUV, with all-wheel drive available and fast-charging capability for road trips. See our used electric cars page for more on owning an EV in the Treasure Valley. And don't overlook minivans: a Toyota Sienna offers sliding doors, easy third-row access and room for car seats, and every Sienna from the 2021 model year on is a hybrid.

Seven Seats or Eight?
Seven-seat SUVs use two captain's chairs in the second row, while eight-seat SUVs use a bench. The bench wins on capacity. Captain's chairs win nearly everywhere else: kids can walk between them to reach the third row, car seats install without a middle-seat struggle, and siblings get their own space. West Ada is the largest school district in Idaho, and carpool rotations in Meridian, Eagle and Kuna can mean four extra kids on any given day.
A simple rule: if you regularly carry eight people, get the bench. If you carry six or seven and value easy access to the back, get the captain's chairs. Check how many LATCH anchors are in each row, fold the third row yourself and look at the cargo space left behind it, because that's where the stroller, cooler or hockey bags go. Coming to sit in both layouts takes five minutes and usually settles the question.

Used Third-Row SUV FAQs in Boise, ID
The Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot both have strong reputations for durability, and full-size SUVs like the Toyota Sequoia are known for long service lives. Reliability still depends on the individual vehicle, so review its history report and maintenance records, and consider an independent pre-purchase inspection, which Driven welcomes.
Which three-row SUV has the best third row?
Full-size, body-on-frame SUVs like the Chevrolet Suburban and Toyota Sequoia generally offer the most third-row space for adults. Minivans like the Toyota Sienna also have roomy, easy-to-reach third rows. In most midsize three-row SUVs, the third row is best suited to kids.
What's the best 7-seater SUV to buy used?
It depends on how you'll use it. A Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot or Hyundai Palisade suits most families, a Suburban or Sequoia suits towing and adult passengers, and a Volvo XC90 or Audi Q7 suits shoppers who want luxury for less than new. Seven-seat versions have second-row captain's chairs.
Should I get captain's chairs or a bench seat?
Choose a bench if you regularly carry eight people. Choose captain's chairs if you carry six or seven and want easier third-row access and simpler car seat installs.
