6 seater Hilux mod

6 seater Hilux mod

Postby unique on Sat, 26 Sep 2015 9:42 +0000

Hi guys, sorry if this is in the wrong section but not sure where else to put it..

Has anyone put the single cab bench seat in the front of a dual cab legally?? The reason is for the growing family :D
I really want to keep the hilux if I can... and there aren't many option for a 6/7 seater ute unless you get a iveco daily 4x4 or something similar... I know that there appears to be a six seater hilux in the 4x4 but it the 2012 or around there??(not even sure if it was released in Aus)

Thanks guys
Jono

I have a 6 seat workmate. honestly the front middle seat is useless. it is like 20cm wide and the child will be sitting sideways to avoid the gear stick.

you also have to consider what age the child is to legally sit there without a booster seat. once they are that size/age it is only going to be a short trip scenario taking a bunch of kids to sport in the weekend or something.

I agree with landslide.. that middle seat is useless (even for a kid) unless you want to keep elbowing the middle passenger in the gut when you change gears.. :?

Luckily delicas can get to places away from people so you don't get spotted driving one!
