i have to say it; the suv comes in pretty handy when you are hauling 5 or 6 buddies out to the lake to do some fishing (unless they want to sit in the box). and yes, adults can fit in the third row (at least in my explorer) comfortably. as for hauling camping gear; i find getting at stuff is easier than trying to lug it over the side of the box of the new 4x4 trucks that are about 4.5 feet high. with proper placement in an suv, everything you haul is within reach of a side door or the lift gate. can't take the quad and the boat at the same time, but finding stuff in the dark is pretty easy with interior lights and all of you stuff stays air conditioned lol.
cheers
