    Seats

    The rear seat in the crew cab version seats 3 across but has one 2 head rests. The 2 head rests that are there, are entirely too short to provide any protection. Since this is a crew cab with seating for 3 in the rear, there should be proper head protection for each passenger. The top of the rear head rest is only 28" from the seat bottom. Way too short for most passengers.
