Which Jeeps Have Three Rows?
If you are looking for a Jeep that seats seven or has three rows your options are limited. From the Jeep Wrangler to the Renegade the entire Jeep lineup consists of vehicles that only seat 5. Even the Jeep Grand Cherokee the current premiere SUV in the lineup only has two rows of seats. So if you need 7 seats what options do you have?
The Jeep Commander was produced between 2005 to 2010 and came with three rows and seven seats. If you are looking to pickup a used Jeep at a solid price that has 7 seats we highly recommend the Commander with the 5.7L Hemi. The 4.7L engine V8 had a lot or problems so we suggest avoiding it. The only problem with the Commander is it is getting pretty long in the tooth. However good news is on the horizon. Jeep has been leaking pictures and details about the 2021 Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. The goal is to release a 7 seat SUV to compete with the other full-size SUVs on the market. Most of the details are still yet to be known however speculation is it will carry the same drive-train options currently running with the Ram 1500.
It will fill that crucial spot in the Jeep lineup for customers looking for three rows and 7 seats. The plan is to release a Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. The Grand Wagoneer is expected to be a premium offering competing with the likes of the Range Rover and Cadillac Escalade potentially fetching a $100,000 price tag.
Jump Seat To the Rescue
If you are willing to turn a wrench you can throw a jump seat in the back of a Jeep Wrangler and you will have those two extra seats. The main downside to a jump seat is it takes up the entire cargo space of the Jeep. You can make a custom setup if you have fabricating skills. However the most common setup is to use the Teraflex third row bracket that installs in the rear cargo area of your Jeep. It is designed to work with the rear seat of a two door Jeep Wrangler. This allows you to have a reliable setup that uses factory seats in a safe way.
Finding a set of rear seats can be tough but if you keep a keen eye on your local craigslist or Ebay you can pick a seat up between $250-$500.
Conclusion
Between being able to buy a Jeep Commander that seats seven, adding a jump seat to a 4 Door Jeep Wrangler or waiting until the Wagoneer is released you do have some options. Which one are you post interested in? Let us know in the comments below.
