I received my FR85 and was trying it in every vehicle..Mine, my dad's and S/O's truck.
I got a rock solid install in my car and my dads, but S/O's truck it will NOT install. It hangs off the front to much, The only way I could make it work is if I removed the head rest, reclined the seat quite a bit and even then I just don't see it going in nicely - not that I'd want to try to recline it so much and install. So, if you have pics of a FR85 in these seats then please send them along and tell me how you did it! I tried the middle but it was even worse! I didn't take a ton of time to try, I set it in there, fiddled around with it some but didn't put a TON of effort into it but just don't see it....I had to leave to go pick up ds from daycare and S/O left, so.

These are the seats I'm working with, just for a "visual"..

I've never tried it in a regular cab. We have a 2004 Silverado 1500 Crew Cab and our Frontier 80 fits wonderfully in the back seat.
