I have two years of automotive/aerospace manufacturing experience and am looking for new opportunities. I recently applied to a Solution Engineer - Commercial Manufacturing, Automotive, Energy (MAE) role at Salesforce, and it sounds like a great fit. Is anyone willing to offer me a referral or advice on how to move forward in the hiring process? Salesforce

Of course you can tell them. Most think our travel lives suck/ are ridiculous and completely understand that you don't want to do it long term
Depends, are they offering something with less travel?
Depends on your wording. Nothing wrong with desiring a different lifestyle than when you were younger.
Not any better than telling them you want to leave consulting because you want an easier life. Focus instead on your excitement to operate and execute as part of an brand/exciting business.
I'd leave it out. Even if it's the only reason, come up with a different one and sell it until it's true. Even if there's no travel needed for the new role, don't complain about your current/previous roles because it says that you'll leave if you find something wrong at the new place. Focus on something like: looking for a different perspective/challenge, feel the diversity of your experience can have a big impact at XYZ Corp. and you want to be a part of that long term change, or anything else that turns the reason as an aspirational or positive future outcome that benefits both employer and you. If you're looking for info on travel, ask what a typical day or project looks like and where the stakeholders are to see what those expectations are in a subtle way.
I think it's ok. You should be able to communicate more important reasons for wanting to work at X company, however
As long as the position doesn't require travel (assuming that's the case, otherwise why are you considering?) I think it's way better than saying something like work life balance
Well, is it? You won't sound convincing if you have to pretend it is
Also if you tell them you're leaving because of travel they can leverage that to pay you less because it makes you sound like you'd take anything.
