Toyota Truck Tips needed! Britax, Diono.

We are about to trade in three older cars for a new Toyota Truck. Tacoma vs Tundra in terms of car seat installation please!!! I currently have a Diono Radian and a Britax Advocate 70. The Radian will be rear-facing. The Britax Advocate FF. Will the Radian fit RF? Is there LATCH in the back seat? Can the AirBag be turned off in the front seat to allow for an additional spot to install a car seat? We live in a small town and don't have a Toyota dealer. Henceforth, we will be deciding upon our purchase at home and then DH will be driving to the big city to pick it up alone. I want to ensure that the children will be safe and the car seats will install easily without much trouble. Also, i'm considering selling the Britax Advocate and purchasing the Click-Tight Britax FF seat instead.
Thanks in advance. :):):)

We had a 2009 Tacoma crew cab and it sucked for car seats. I don't believe there have been major changes in it since then. I would definitely look at the Tundra. And no, the airbag won't have a key-off switch unless you get a 2 door model.

Both Tacomas and Tundras have different cab options that will have more or less space. We have a Tundra Crewmax (4-door, full backseat) and even the largest carseats we've had have fit RFing with no issues. The backseat is far bigger than most sedans and SUVs (we fit 3 across or 2 carseats with an adult in the middle easily) and has LATCH in the 2 outboard positions. HTH!
