So...
An update on my reviews of the acceptable TVs out there in the half and three quarter category. It seems my choice is limited not by features or capabilities; but rather the ceiling liner of the vehicles.
In nearly all pickup trucks there is the standard ceiling liner which carries a dip about halfway back to run wires to the center lights, etc. time was the only pickup I could not fit into due to this dip was the Chevy - it was (and still is) too far forward. It seems Dodge (my former vehicle in this category) has joined the pack with a vengeance - its cab and a half and double cab models both carry a savage dip now in order to support not only lights, but ceiling speakers for the audio systems, etc.
I was hopeful that the F250 would do better. My late brothers widow's new husband has an 06 double cab 250 farm model with a good two inches of headroom left and no annoying ceiling dip - but alas ... The current year F250 actually has LESS headroom than the F150...
I've tried both electrical and manual adjust seats in all the four major brands now and the winners of the "still can fit a seven foot tall guy well" are the Ford F150 standard cab (and standard cab only with a manual adjust seat) and the ANY of the three cab lengths of the Toyota Tundra...
So finally I can start looking at the F150 (ecoboost) versus the Tundra in terms of capabilities, comfort in test driving and feature sets, reliabilities, etc...
