This is something we were deciding before we bought another 130.
I liked the 110 Double-cab, as it was a little different to the Station Wagon, and it had more toys than a 130, but if you are using it as a touring vehicle then, there’s not much point to it, as having a secure rear section, like a station wagon makes more sense, of course you could fit a rear hard canopy, but this would then make it more expensive than the Station Wagon.
The small rear section, can be used for storing, fuel, and dirty things i suppose, but bear in mind the spare wheel also lives in there. If you have dogs then a station wagon would be better, as at least they would have some Air Con in the summer.
You can get a full length rack for the 110 Double cab ( Hannibal and Patriot ) do them
Its really down to if it suits your life style needs. A 130 is probably the ultimate choice for Expedition/Long Range Touring, but will not suit all peoples day to day requirements….

No offense Juddy but I think this is the funniest thing I have read on aulro ever!
If your hounds need aircon I would argue you need to get a real dog!

We chose to purchase a 110 C/C as we decided the 130 was just a tad too long. But, having said that, theres only two of us, and the dog, and she gets the whole back seat to herself.
Am in the process of making a hard back canopy at the moment that can be removed when needed. The spare wheel will go on the rear (swingaway, when I make it) and the RTT will be on the canopy, the fridge is in the ute back, which will also hold draws with recovery equipment etc, and another fuel cell. Extra water will go under the rear seat.
In my opinion, for two of us and our travelling needs, the 110 is ideal, however, as said previously, the rear has little room in it, but with only "little tackers", this may not be a real issue.
Good luck with your choice,,
Ps,, check if the rear seats in the wagon actually move back/forward to give more/less legroom (??) A hard canopy is a cheapish option to have the use of a "ute" (albeit small) throughout the year for rubbish runs etc,,

Mate.
Had same decision to make: went with 110wagon.
Mate had 110CC, and as mentioned the ute tray is tiny+ the wheel lives there- so another expenses to get it onto the back.
I have 2 small kids also, what I have already noticed us being able to fold the rear seats down, and with 60/40 rear seat split you can have both kids in car seats and still have one seat folded for longer stuff if needed. Btw this must be the best simplistic folding arrangement designed I have ever used. Just great.
The 110cab rear seats are not bolted in although looking at it, appears to be identical to 110 system so should be foldable with a tinker.
Finally we went with a full length rack and basically can carry way more than we need to camp, which always amazes(read=annoys) me how much we need/choose to take for just family of 4.
Yeah I reckon you might miss space with the kid stuff eyc because nothing will fit in the rear seats and ute tray is just so small.
