We're looking to get me a new SUV. I have a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it's gots to go. I need something newer, with AC in the back, and just something nicer. We've been looking at a newer Jeep GC like a 2015. I am concerned about room for extended RF-ing though. I'd like to hear your SUV's you'd recommend that can fit an extended RF-ing or better yet, if you have a GC, how does it fit?

ETA: Just realized GC = Grand Cherokee. I still know nothing about it. But I do know what size it is.

My 2 year old is RF in a Diono Radian RXT which while narrow still has a wicked recline. With the angle adjuster it fits very well. We have him on the passenger side and even though I have long legs I'm still very comfortable in the front seat.
I doubt it we will have a problem moving him over when we add the infant seat but may switch him FF at that time, I haven't tried it yet but I'll take a look at how far forward the passenger seat is compared to the drivers seat tonight. I don't think we would lose much drivers space with him TF behind the driver anyway.
We were just in the market for a new SUV before deciding on the Jeep and our runner up was the Toyota Highlander. The back was very spacious and car seat friendly.
ETA: we have a loaner Kia Sorrento while the Jeep is getting new tires and the space is okayish. It has the third row option but I have to crank the passenger seat much farther up to accommodate for the RF car seat than I do in the Jeep. I'm not a fan.
His last car was a Lexus RX 330 and also worked well with car seats.

My I was considering getting a Pilot for the third row, however our friends drive one with three kids and said that they have to keep the third row down to have enough room in the trunk. If/when we upgrade I will probably look at a Yukon or a Suburban.
