Good stuff.  I appreciate you sharing first hand, with kids.  I love the idea of stowing a handgun in there.
You're welcome

You've answered your own question. You can source a rear seat without the storage compartments from an auto dismantler and swap them out if that is your only concern. You may have to get creative with

or bolt in the rear third row seat from a Suburban into the bed of the truck, and they can feel the breeze blowing thru their hair

It’s a wonder my kids come around to visit after being forced to lift forward the front seat to get in the back. Teenage kids complaining. Never heard of that. My growing up days my siblings and I spent time in the back of a pickup. Having a voice in determining what kind of ride my father was going to buy? Times have changed. My father’s favorite line if we were even a little noisy. Go out and play on the white line.

My money, my car. My kids have no say. They should consider themselves lucky that I spend a few coin for some convenience features for them. The moment they started making a mess in the backseat (dropped Legos, dropped french fry/chicken nugget) I bought a seat cover. It catches almost everything, and they're required to clean up the mess. Perhaps a seat cover would make the back seat more comfortable for the OP's teenage kids. I recommend this one. Also available in brown and gray. 6c81161934413e134ab19416cdc5e8c7.jpg

Kids in just a short time instead of being mini me’s tagging along and learning about life. As soon as they can speak have become the rulers of the castle. It’s a product of the two parents working for the extra 1000 sq ft and two brand new cars. Shipping kids off to day care. They conspire in day care learning to quilt trip the parents. Now we get to watch them on TV conspiring to turn us into a socialist country. Give me more free stuff! Really can’t be denied now can it?

Sounds like the Ram is a better fit for your needs. Seat comfort is incredibly important in a vehicle. You have to make the best choice for your family. Besides, in all honesty, there really isn't a bad HD truck on the market. They all have minor pros and cons, but the segment is hypercompetitive and they're all solid options.

This is a while other conversation that'll deal this thread. I'm not going to say much because of that, but due to being quoted I'll respond briefly.

My kids have never been called mini-me's. They are either crotch goblins or s**t-sticks. The title is dependant upon their current behavior. I raise my crotch goblins. Nobody is being paid to run them when I can do it for free. Disney Channel and Nickelodeon is where they learn to plot and manipulate, but it doesn't work on me. Mommy and daddy both served this country, and daddy knows what it means to bleed and be willing to die for our freedom. As such, that's how my kids are indoctrinated -- with liberty and justice for all. Getting a truck was part of the master plan. They learn how to be self-sufficient. For example, my oldest said he wants to learn how to fish for his birthday. I am seriously entertaining that idea. I've never fished, but it's not too late to learn.

Just wondering.....
Is the rear seat from a 2014-2018 fit?
They did not have the storage, but still had the center flip down armrest/ cupholders. Might be an option if the pinstripes are the same with the dark grey leather....

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
