A camry can work for you.

If you decide to keep looking, here is my thoughts: At 270 with kids, passat tdi. Everything will feel too small. Coming from a truck will magnify this effect. I'm somewhat lighter than you (but with kids also) and I've driven everything else suggested, all going to feel too small.

Ideal would be a low mile 1996-97, or figure out a way to swing the current generation. Another option is an escape or camry hybrid, but they'll get less mpg.
