Only Sport trim comes without third row seat
Be aware that only the Sport model comes with the no third row option. I ought to know, I just bought my base model Highlander and went through the order process with Toyota corporate. Although they allowed me to special order my vehicle from Japan with different features, they would not budge on the third row seat and were emphatic that only the Sport trim was offered without the seat. Suffice it to say I was left with a seat I didn't need (no little kids to haul), and would like to have had the extra cargo room afforded with the seat removed...so I removed it myself. Wow, I'm happy with the seat gone! Got extra space to store camping gear in the back, including a "well" where the seat used to be that allows me to keep items in there that won't slide around during turns or climbing hills. The only bummer is I've got a seat that's stored in my garage and no place to sell it. Dealers don't want it, parts stores don't want it, and no one is asking for it on the Web. In the end, I'm happy with the seat removed, but that's a personal thing. Anyone with kids will appreciate that seat, and if anyone out there gets their seat ripped up by rambunctious kids you know where to get a new seat...wink...wink....
