Why would you need to take the rear seats out?
We fit a family of 5 in one and still went touring.
Buy a single cab?

My mate just used to take out the seat and put a piece on ply on the floor.
This gave him a level area for his fridge etc - easy to put back to standard for the wife and kids after the trip

This x 2

I did this with my lux when I had it. Had some tie downs which I could screw in and out when needed and a couple of good ratchet straps for the 80lt engel and voila ya in business. If you have the time and means I'm sure you could make something up thats easy to remove and practical. Back seat takes about 5 mins to pull out so easy as!

Pretty sure a bright blue Hilux in a 4WD Monthly mag in the last 12-18 months had that setup.
