Are there any models of small pickups or small suvs without a center console? Family member who lost right leg can drive fine with left leg only but has to remove prosthetic. Need something that would give more room to scooch right

I searched for a small pickup truck couple months ago. I didn't see any with a bench seat.

amputeemom, Welcome to the Automotive Forums..
apologies; i had posted hours after you on same day, but it must've got bounced from my 'not-so'high speed internet..
to be concise; most ALL smaller trucks/suvs have the center console since about 2010.
full size from 97/98 to 2016 you could find from the big three a 40/20/40 type bench, with a center console that folded up when not needed; but not so in the downsized units..
another option was pulling a center console; which would give a little more leg room, but have possibly some exposed mounting brackets and possibly wire harness (if power or heated seats, and backseat accessories)
another option is to find; for instance, an S10 or Ranger (or import equal) with buckets, and then find a bench seat in a recycle yard to swap in..
some people who want the smaller vehicle, might decide to look at converted jeeps and subarus, as many are available as converted RHDrive vehicles; which puts you closer to the doorside; as opposed to center console..
hope this helps..
