Here's how my 3 yr old's booster looks in the back of my double cab.  I put an infant carrier in the center with the seat belt most mornings also without issue.

 

 Our rear facing seat is doable in the center (the near term plan) but behind the driver/pax seat is too tight for a rear facer.

 

In general though I think the T1 double cabs are significantly more usable than the K2s for kids.

Does it have the latch system back there, I read with our new seat that the "latch" system was only good to 40lbs?

 

We have a little while till we hit that weight, and was surprised to read that with our seat.

 

Will just have to figure out the seatbelt thing at that time.

The outboard seats have latch but I'm not a fan of latch for booster/harness seats.

That frontier click tight in the picture uses the reg seat belt.

We just went forward facing with ours last Sunday only made 2 rides with it so far, so have some catching up to do.

 

Our daughter enjoys the front facing so far.

 

Will try out the seatbelt set up.

Thanks for posting. This is the reason I joined the forum. I have a 2015 Colorado LT Ex Cab and just tried to install a new seat for my 18 mo granddaughter. The only legal location in the Colorado is behind the passenger seat and that only works with the passenger seat full forward and tilted so far as to render the seat useless. Can't believe GM didn't allow for this. This basically means Only the driver and baby can travel together. Ridiculous. Thinking about trading for a 19 custom with the double cab and now I know I will have room for everyone.

Cool.  I still recommed taking your prefered seat and trying it at the dealership in the config you like.

 

What I show in the picture is a Britax frontier click tight booster/harness seat which fit much better than typical car seats in my opinion.  Highly recommended when your little one is old enough.  Best part is it doesnt rattle or sound like and empty styrofoam color when unoccupied. Good luck!

      Oil Consumption

      By KARNUT · Posted

      No I didn’t watch a video of a person who analyzes oil for a living explain general oil usage. For clarity I did ask my brothers one who runs our equipment business. The other who runs our old ROW business about oil usage. Nothing has changed since I retired. Their personal vehicles or work vehicles use no oil. Not enough to see on the oil checking device. Then I pondered. I like to ponder. In this extended oil changing world with oil change countdowns or lights. If engines used say a qt every 2500 miles or up to even 4000 miles. With oil changes reaching as high as 15000 miles. Normal for most people is eight to ten. Vehicles should potentially be seizing up all over the place. Especially in hilly terrain. Just how many people actually check their oil? Maybe 10 percent. Those are the people that probably change their oil early. I like to research used car listings. I have five favorite dealers I check. They all list carfax with their listing. It’s rare to see vehicles with anything but extended oil changes. Transmission service, forget about it. I’ve seen Honda and Toyota certified vehicles up to 100K miles and ten years old. With nothing but normal maintenance. Isn’t nice we all have different experiences and believe our way is the best. You certainly get backup for whatever you believe. Life would be boring otherwise.

      RUMOR / INSIDER: 2027 Silverado Dealer Reveal NEXT WEEK

      By RobbertClaus · Posted

      Interesting rumor. Dealers near me have been tight-lipped so far, but if this reveal actually happens next week, I'm really hoping they finally give the HD a proper interior overhaul. The competition has been eating their lunch in the cabin department for a while now.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are a few good takeaways in that video that pertain to this thread, certainly the possibility of the oil control rings having buildup, the fuel injectors and how clean or not that they are ending up affecting the pistons rings carbon buildup, and the fact that its normal up to a point for a given engine to use some oil, and that the oil quality that is being utilized is part of that ring clogging up issue as well.   I was talking with a neighbor yesterday who has a baby LZ0 duramax and he had bought it slightly used but it does consume some oil and he has switched over to 5W-30 Euro spec oil and in this case that never made a difference in consumption over the factory 0W-20 recommendation. He finds it uses a quart in about 3500 miles and as he goes a ways over that distance he adds oil to full and goes another 1000 miles or so and then changes oil and is typically at 40% or so left on the oil monitor at that point with his use case of quite a lot of highway miles and more limited in short run use. I don't know what other LZ0 engines are doing for oil consumption but that is what his is doing.

      Ok well I guess Lake disagrees with me on a few points. I call oil consumption pretty basic. Rudimentary. He calls it "really complicated." I think 1qt consumed in 3k miles is a lot. He says that's normal. In 22 minutes, he'll use his natural talent to explain oil consumption to anyone watching this video. He covers everything from obvious engine damage to how normally functioning healthy engines consume oil by design. Lake explicitly states how you drive will impact oil consumption.   Shut up and watch:
