Yup. We had to replace our extended cab pickup with a crew cab so we could fit two car seats (which is just criminally bad misdesign; the old cab certainly had enough volume to accommodate everyone).
To add insult to injury, the crew cab weighs more, reducing usable towing and bed capacity, so now, about a quarter of the time I need a truck, I end up borrowing or renting a smaller, but higher capacity one.
- paulryanrogers 3y agoOut of curiosity, why a pickup at all? I so rarely need to haul things with kids in the car that I've taken to just renting or borrowing as needed.
- hedora 3y agoWe live on a farm, so we end up using the bed multiple times a week. The main competitor would be a car with a nice cab and car seat, and then a second beater truck with a single row of seating. Alternatively, if someone made such a thing, but of course they don't, I'd like a little brick of an EV sedan that could tow as much as a large pickup (> 12,000 lbs), with no bed but a nice cab. The Rivian truck gets close to the towing requirement at 11,000 lbs, but for some reason their SUV only hits 7700. The BMW X5 hybrid is also close to what I'd be looking for, but still only hits 7700 lbs.
