I'm eventually gonna need a car/truck/SUV bigger than my truck now, without getting rid of it! I really love the 09 and newer F-150 XTR supercabs, 6.5ft box, but $$$ will play a factor. If anyone could answer a few questions with their experiences, that would be great:

How is space for a supercab 04 and newer with 2 baby seats? I'm tall so factor that too.

Anyone have thoughts on any of these choices:

2005 and newer Grand Prix GXP V-8
2003/04/05 Mercury Maurader
2008 and newer Mustang
Dodge Magnum R/T

Any other suggestions? Nothing Japanese or European, no mini-van. Bare in mind this could be a once in a while driven car/truck and the old lady has an 06 Explorer already. I'm not crazy about non-Ford products but we'll see. Actually, I even thought about a Bronco.

My biggest thing is knowing how a supercab works in terms of child seats in the back, is there a good amount of space. Before anyone says it, no, I really don't want a supercrew cab unless it's a F-350

 

I'd get the Marauder.

 

Out of the cars you posted, the Marauder.

 

def the marauder, those things are sweet!

 

Raptor!

Isn't that the answer for everything on the forum?

 

Honestly I dont think theres enough room for car seats in an '04+ Supercab.

Id look into a Marauder or Crown Vic Sport for a car.


A Mustang wont fit car seats well at all.

 

marauders are so awesome, but good luck finding one, much less one under 18-20k

 

There's enough room in the back seat for car seats in the 04-08 Scabs. I usually have 2 in the back of mine 3 or 4 days a week. One kid's 5 and other one is 1 and they have room back there. Granite it's not tons of room but enough to be comfortable.

 

Marauder

 

why buy a cool car, when all the kids are going to do is make the thing a mess?

 

if you're talking about a 09 G8 GXP in stick shift then that would be my choice.

Power, handling and 4 doors.

 

impreza wrx-sti!

 

You want a real dad's cool car. Cadillac CTS-V nuff said. But from the list you've got I'd go with a marauder

 

From your list I'd lean towards the Magnum -- I've always thought those were kind of cool little rides if you still need a "family truckster" type of a vehicle!

 

Wow, might just be a Maurader then! They are around here, and not bad priced. Yes, he CTS/V and G8 GT or GXP would be nice but pricey. I don't agree the car should be a heap because kids will make it a mess, me and my bro and sis were raised differently. My parents cars were not expensive but were kept mint just the same. My bro just bought a 2000 Grand prix GTP for $100, after parts, $800 invested for a nice car. Maybe I'll buy it off him. I've also thaught about a Trailblazer SS, Impala SS and a Flex. When I'm ready to buy something, some of the models mentioned will be cheaper.

Oh ya, no on the Subaru!

I'm still kinda leaning for a supercab 2009/10/11+ or older F-150. The Maurader is gaining ground with me though. We'll see, still a ways away from needing one unless a good deal comes up. The Raptor IS the answer
