The supercab F150 has serviceable back seats. There is no need to gimp the bed with an oversized crew cab.

My selection of vehicles agrees with you but friends who are new parents were shocked to see that child seats don’t fit in the back of Tacoma or I presume f150 supercab

Child seats will fit in an F-series supercab. The Tacoma isn't a full size truck so not exactly comparable.

My friends Tacoma backseat didn’t seem much different from my f150 with suicide doors, so thank you for the confirmation i’m Good to go

Serviceable, sure. But the crew cab has a cavernous rear seat area. I used to drive a BMW 5 series and now drive an F-450 w/Crew Cab (my wife and live full-time in a Fifth Wheel RV, otherwise I'd never own such a large vehicle). I was astounded when I saw just how much more rear leg room the truck has compared to the 5 series.

If the airlines were in charge of the F150, they would squeeze in 3 rows of seats

I have a supercab and I am happy that I have the 6.5' bed to go with it, I can lay 4'x8' sheets flat with the tailgate down. Combined with a backrack/hitch extender I can get 16' long lumber.

The backseat is passable with my dog and kids, but barely. If they were able to take some room from the front where there is no engine and give me both a reasonable bed and a crew cab I would be happy.

A lockable frunk is pretty attractive though so that you don't have to worry about leaving tools in the bed.
