Have a S-Crew and three teens. Two of the three are small'ish twins. They all fit but not alot of room to play with. They could run laps in the back of my F-150 S-Crew but I like the Ranger size better and they aren't in there That Often.
Was kinda in your same boat...
Needed to be able to tow
Needed better MPG
Had a F150(2.7) son needed a truck, bought a Tundra(5.7) towed good but horrific mpgs. Had two Tacoma’s and liked the size but was able to get the Ranger with better towing and mileage new for what an equivalent used Taco...
Only thing I found was that the material is a good insulator so may not transfer the heat as fast.
I am really impressed with how they fit. Pretty tight in all the right spots. Tested them out today with this dang Texas humidity!! Was sweating profusely by 9am. ??‍♂️
