Looking for a new tow vehicle? Consider the 2017 Toyota Tundra.

The double cab seems to be pretty much the same size a crew cab was 10-15 years ago anyways. My dad's '15 Tundra has the crew cab and it is freaking HUUUUUUGE. I'm 6'3 and have probably a foot or more of room in front of my knees sitting in the backseat, feels like riding in a limo. The bed definitely limits utility, as it's not even 6' IIRC, but at the same time I don't know if I'd want to try to park anything much larger. I think your comment on viewing these more like SUVs is spot on.
