Basically a giant Prius that can tow 5000 lbs and haul a few thousand pounds in the bed.

Narrow rear seats with less headroom? Sorry, no. Why have the back seats at all if they can't fit 3 full size adults across the width? Most people seeking the extra seat of a crew cab have a crew to put in them. Kids grow. Back seats need to accommodate full size adults in the full size pickup market because there really aren't any other options besides a closed off SUV or simply forgoing the passenger capacity altogether.
I don't buy for a second that anybody but little people are comfortable in the back of a Prius. Wasted seats IMO.
