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

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....

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
