SUV but they cost about $38k CDN. I'd have to end my 7 month retirement
and go find a job to afford that baby.

I have the extended cab Tundra (4 doors, small back seat) with a
fitted cap over the cargo area, painted to match. From a distance it
looks like a large SUV and has many of the advantages at a much lower
price ( a bit over $30K USD plus $1700 for the cap). Those are three
year old prices of course. I can carry five people for short
distances, or longer distances if they are small or have a high pain
threshold :-)

I understand the double cab version is pretty comfortable. Even in my
Tacoma, my 6' son is comfortable in the back, with the front seat at its
rearmost position.
