What is claimed is: 1. A vehicle seating arrangement adapted for use in connection with a vehicle having an increased cargo and/or passenger carrying capacity, the vehicle seating arrangement comprising: at least one front or first row seat assembly coupled to a vehicle body; at least one second row seat assembly, the at least one second row seat assembly including a seat cushion for supporting a seat occupant, the seat cushion being pivotally coupled to the vehicle body, and a seat back pivotally coupled to the seat cushion; at least one rear or third row seat assembly coupled to the vehicle body; and a high latch assembly operatively associated with the at least one second row seat assembly, the high latch assembly including a housing having a dual-arc guide including a first guide portion and a second guide portion, wherein the first guide portion is concentric about a seat pivot at a front portion of the seat cushion allowing the second row seat assembly to tip or tilt for ingress and egress to and from the third row seat assembly. 2. The vehicle seating arrangement of claim 1, wherein the dual-arc guide is located on the seat back, and further including a striker affixed to a vehicle wall, the striker being operatively received within the dual-arc guide. 3. The vehicle seating arrangement of claim 1, wherein the second guide portion is concentric about a recliner center point of the second row seat assembly allowing for recliner adjustment of the seat back. 4. The vehicle seating arrangement of claim 1, wherein the high latch assembly comprises a latching mechanism, the latching mechanism operable to selectively lock the striker in a first latched position within the second guide portion wherein the seat back is in a first angular position relative to the seat cushion, and selectively lock the striker in a second latched position within the second guide portion wherein the seat back is in a second angular position relative to the seat cushion. 5. The vehicle seating arrangement of claim 4, wherein the latching mechanism includes a first locking device and a second locking device, the striker being located between the first and second locking devices in the first latched position, the striker being located between the housing and the second locking device in the second latched position. 6. The vehicle seating arrangement of claim 5, wherein the first locking device is operatively located between the first guide portion and the second guide portion. 7. The vehicle seating arrangement of claim 4, wherein the high latch assembly further includes a lever operatively connected to the latching mechanism for moving the latching mechanism from a closed condition to an open condition, the lever being located on the seat back. 8. A vehicle seat comprising: a seat cushion; a pivoting mechanism for pivotally coupling the seat cushion to an associated vehicle floor; a seat back pivotally coupled to the seat cushion; a high latch assembly including a housing secured to the seat back adjacent an upper end portion of the seat back, the housing including a slot being a dual-arc guide including a first guide portion and a second guide portion, the first guide portion being concentric about a seat pivot defined by the pivoting mechanism. 9. The vehicle seat of claim 8, wherein the second guide portion is concentric about a recliner center point. 10. The vehicle seat of claim 9, wherein seat back pivots with respect to the seat cushion about the recliner center point. 11. The vehicle seat of claim 8, further comprising a seat latch for releasably securing to an associated floor mounted striker, wherein actuation of the seat latch allows for pivotable movement of the vehicle seat about the pivoting mechanism. 12. The vehicle seat of claim 11, wherein the pivoting mechanism is located adjacent a front portion of the seat cushion. 13. The vehicle seat of claim 8, wherein the high latch assembly includes a latching mechanism operable to selectively lock an associated striker in a first latched position and a second latched position. 14. The vehicle seat of claim 13, wherein in the first latched position the seat back is in a first angular position relative to the seat cushion and in the second latched position the seat back is in a second angular position relative to the seat cushion. 15. A vehicle seat comprising: a seat cushion; a pivoting mechanism for pivotally coupling the seat cushion to an associated vehicle floor; a seat back pivotally coupled to the seat cushion and moveable between an upright position and a folded position; a high latch assembly including a housing secured to the seat back adjacent an upper end portion of the seat back and a latching mechanism operable to selectively lock an associated striker in a latched position, the housing including a slot being a dual-arc guide configured to receive the associated striker and including a first guide portion and a second guide portion, the first guide portion being configured to allow the vehicle seat to tip or tilt about the pivoting mechanism while the seat back is in the upright position and the latching mechanism in an open condition. 16. The vehicle seat of claim 15, further comprising a seat latch for releasably securing to an associated floor mounted striker, wherein actuation of the seat latch allows for pivotable movement of the vehicle seat about the pivoting mechanism. 17. The vehicle seat of claim 16, wherein the pivoting mechanism is located adjacent a front portion of the seat cushion. 18. The vehicle seat of claim 17, wherein the latching mechanism is operable to selectively lock the associated striker in a first latched position and a second latched position. 19. The vehicle seat of claim 18, wherein in the first latched position the seat back is in a first angular position relative to the seat cushion and in the second latched position the seat back is in a second angular position relative to the seat cushion. 20. The vehicle seat of claim 19, wherein the second guide portion is concentric about a recliner center point, and the seat back pivots with respect to the seat cushion about the recliner center point.
