We rented an SUV last May from Alamo which a few days into the holiday had to be replaced. We ended up with a twin cab F150 from Enterprise which had satnav. It was a whole new experience driving it and I wanted to bring it home! The space inside was enormous, our carry on cases sat under the rear seat with no problem and there was still enough room to hold a party. The front seats had what appeared to be a small table between the seats which opened up into a third front seat. Very impressive. (Alamo and Enterprise are, I believe, the same rental group)

Always wanted to rent and f150 but have a question. Where do you put your cases? Does the load area have a cover?

We have had an F150... it had sat nav.

We have booked one for March because it was cheaper than a full size SUV...

The F150 we had in Summer '18 didn't have Sat Nav but to be honest it was a non-issue with google maps.

Bags went in the cab with one of the back seats up.

1 kid in the back and the other in the middle.

We had a Ford F-150 Platinum pick up in June this year. It didn't have sat nav but it did have CarPlay which I could link up to my iPhone. It did have heated and cooled, massaging seats though which were fab!

Enjoy!

No load cover but there was only the two of us with two cabin cases which fitted under the rear seat. Didn't really need to but they were out of sight there. The back of the cab is huge so unless there are more than three people with large cases I would think you'll have no problem. Great to drive.
