We have an older 2003 model Hilux as well as a newer 2009 model Hilux, our car seat fits just fine in both, but is a bugger to put it into the new ute!!! We have to put it in the passenger side with both utes. If there is an achor point in the middle then there should be no reason why you can't have it in the middle. It is really easy getting bub in and out when it's on the side though! Easy to get use to, rather than having to climb into the back of the commi (I have a commodore too)!
