So after over a month insurance finally decided to total out our truck. It was a Toyota tundra with the smaller backseat. (back doors open the wrong way)
Looking for replacement suggestions for truck and seats
9yo ~ 50 lbs needs to be harnessed & needs her seat replaced
almost 4yo ~30lbs needs a replacement seat rf in our van but was flipped in truck because my husband found it too hard to get her in. I'd prefer to keep her rf in truck too since she's been complaining a bit about rf since she was flipped in truck
15mo old in key fit 30 won't outgrow it anytime soon and wasn't in the truck so it stays. At some point it will need to be replaced with a convertable so they'll need to be room

The seats we had in the tundra were a generations 65, a pria and the keyfit

Well, it really depends on how much truck you're looking for - do you haul anything regularly, or just like the convenience of having a truck. We have an '07 GMC Sierra crew cab and it's good, but honestly the new F150s are hard to beat for cab size, and they have a huge amount of leg room that would make ERF a breeze. Also, the current crew cab Tundras are huge as well. Could always go way, way overboard and get a used Dodge with the MegaCab!

My neighbors have a f150 supercrew and can get 3 Nautis across. Just sayin...
We have a Silverado crew cab. If we were replacing it, I'd totally want one of the new Fords. Such spacious cabins! The Dodge Mega Cab would be my second choice.

We loved our MegaCab, but if we had to do it again, we'd get the Crew instead. The extra space you get in the Mega is mainly behind the seats for "handy" storage. The problem is that with car seats installed, it's not so handy. We rarely used that feature.

You can fit anything three-across with room to spare, though that aspect is the same for the Crew.
