How bad would it be to have a front bench that seats three adults, and a rear bench that seats either two adults or three children?

But pickup truck should not be used to transport children. That's what cars are for.
That's why I use the 1ton STANDARD cab to tow my 14000 trailer and haul people in the Saturn.
15mpg is not for hauling 200lb people around !!!
Drives me nuts when i see 1 person in business dress clothes in an empty full-size pick-up commuting.
