Gotta remember, this is the Proda many foreign markets, and they have 3rd row. Likely this is end result of keeping manufacturing costs down -- making only one version of this part of vehicle. More importantly, a 3 row LC may take away from 4Runner sales since 4R has 3rd row option in most trim levels. Also, if you were to camp/sleep inside, those features may come in handy.
Thinking the same thing here. You also forgot to mention the cut outs are there for the seat belts on the rear pillars. In any case if Toyota doesn’t end up offering it…they just left the perfect platform for the after market segment to start work on the option!
It absolutely needs a third row!
@@ribjones2654 I would love to see the option

you are not wrong
They do have a third row. Here in gcc spec the basic model starts with 3rd row. Only one model comes with out third row.
@@theonearif6346 none have a 3rd row in the US
FYI I do have inside information but I can't share it ..just kidding I want info on the 2026 Rav4
Try to put a stool or something and try if its spacious enough to actually seat in the 3rd row
love your channel, growing tired of my 2014 lexus is250, nothing fits even my golf clubs, am I crazy to want to swap it for a 2014 FJ Cruiser?
Those are hard to get
Toyota/lexus definitely sharing parts. It would cost more to switch parts/stamping
maybe, but to run the vents to the rear?
