The 3.7 paired with the six speed is a nice set up that's fuel efficient and has good power. My friends dad has one and pulls a 4000 pound trailer everyday for work with it and has no complaints. As far as seating room goes, I love the space in my 12's front seat space and the back is more roomier than my dad's 08 f150. Good luck

Batteries Not Included
I need a crew cab with 6 seat belts and enough room in back seat for car seats. The truck must be 4X4 (between the canadian winters and camping this actually is a must). For the most part the truck will be a city run around and transportation to work for the wife. Ride comfort, cab space and fuel mileledge would be the most important things in the truck for us. We are not set on anything except truck meeting needs that I stated already. So what my question is could anyone offer advise on what drivetrains/model/year would best suit my needs as well as are there any particular drivetrain/model/year that I should steer clear of regardless of the seemingly good deal

I have the super crew and the 6.5 ' box
it is more difficult to park at the mall but i use my box regularly and the 5.5' won't work for me at all, i know some guys with them and they hate the short box but to each their own. If you are camping alot won't you need the extra cargo room if the back seat is full of kids?

This is my rig. 2012 XLT with the XTR package. It's like an SUV without the permanent topper. It has the 5.0 with the 6 speed auto trans, and it is very good on fuel. Mind you, I drive very conservatively. It has the 5.5' box and the 145" wheelbase. Comfortable, easy to park. Great vehicle.
