WalterWhiteJourney Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Hello all! I did a search for this topic, and I found nothing related to this question. If I missed a previous post on this, please forgive me. I am having a 'discussion' with someone regarding the number of passengers a DJ can hold. Of course, I am on the '7 passengers, dammit' side, while this other person is stating a DJ is a '5 passenger' vehicle. Granted, with the 3rd row in use, there isn't much space for luggage, but still, if you are carrying 7 passengers, with no requirement for luggage, wouldn't the DJ still qualify as a 7 passenger vehicle? dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalterWhiteJourney Posted January 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 I am 6'1" tall, and weigh 220. I adjusted the middle row, and front seats to accommodate me in the 3rd row. I felt comfortable in all 3 rows, once the seats had been adjusted. I had no issues with the adjusted drivers position either. It's not like there is only enough room for small grownups in the back. Someone needs to do their research, and it ain't me. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 It is not like a suburban or expedition. But you can fit 7 people. 3rd row is tight. But find me another 7 passenger vehicle in the price range that has a cavernous 3rd row area. QuarterSwede and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digimuzik Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Well, my old Ford Freestyle seemed to have a lot more room in the 3rd row and way more storage behind it. But the vehicle also had numerous other problems... dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfurth Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Not the least of which is that the manufacturer is listed as Ford... (I kid, of course.) As for 5 versus 7 - it depends on installed options. Some are 5, some are 7. As for a vehicle with a larger 3rd row in the price range as the Journey, look no further than it's brother, the Grand Caravan. A new Grand Caravan SE (AVP doesn't have stow-n-go seating, so no one should ever buy it) can be had for about $20k, give or take a thousand or two. A Journey SE is around the same price point, but you get more out of a Journey SE than you do out of a Grand Caravan SE (aside from sheer cavernous interior volume). Oh, you wanted a CUV/SUV with a larger 3rd row than the Journey for the same price? Such a beast does not exist. Sorry, be ready to shell out an additional $10k to get another brand of vehicle with similar trim level and larger interior dimensions. jkeaton and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
