much truth to that, however . .

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 part is unrealistic for many. While we ended up selling our supercrew for the forementioned reasons, we had legitimate need for the number and size of the seating area. We weren't silly enough to forego the middle front seat either - which I believe is still available in the new F-150. (But we have obviously found the same number of seats in our Mazda 5.) The fact remains however, that the extra cost of a supercrew vs. a regular or extra cab in the same class and size pickup is miniscule in terms of economy - and neither of the latter would have worked for us at all without the extra expense of a third vehicle.
