In the market for one, new preferably over used. Got an insane cash offer for used CRV for 2k less than I bought it for in 2015. Any suggestions? Main requirement is it has to able to fit 2 car seats.

Probably the new Nissan Frontier. It's the latest redesign, and Nissan hasn't paused production yet due to microchip shortages.



Then there are all the others, which are old AF. They all serve their purpose, but the Ranger and Gladiator are probably the least reliable of the bunch while the Tacoma is probably the most reliable one available. Unfortunately the Tacoma has a very uncomfortable cab for taller drivers.

Front or rear facing? How tall is the driver?

A tall driver in a Tacoma or Ranger is going to leave very little room for a rear facing child seat. The Tacoma especially has a very cramped cab for taller drivers.

The Honda Ridgeline is probably the best if you are tall and need space in the back seat for rear facing child seats. A lot of people don't like the styling though, but it's a perfectly good truck for nearly all truck buyers if they were being honest with themselves. I think the Ridgeline has the best V6 engine available in that segment too.

If you have a rear facing car seat, forget it. That’s why I got rid of mine.

Major supply shortages with these, especially if you want the diesel.

I like my Tacoma a lot but if you need space for car seats you really need sometime with more space inside

I’m a Toyota guy myself but I must admit that new frontier looks clean

Why not a new CR-V? The new ones are nice.

I honestly can't think of a pickup truck except for the Ridgeline that will ride as good as the CR-V.

I like the style of the '22 GMC Canyon AT4 best of the mid-size trucks

Frontier. Mine was great, fit 2 car seats. Adding a third is the only reason I got rid of it.

The one that is on the lot that is not somd today’s market.

I got a 2018 Nissan Frontier and sold it and bought a 2022 Nissan Frontier.

I am really not 100% on them for comfort.
Nissan’s never been an ergonomically designed truck.
They been reliable, as far as ergonomics I would go to Ford.

I just picked one of these up a month ago and I really like it. Good size for me since i live in the city and have tight parking at my house.
