Crew cab: rear bench 3 across seating

[raven_dt]

Anyone with 3 teenagers 3 across in the rear seat for long towing stints (4-6hrs)? Trying to see if anyone has issues with space with a full rear bench.

Not teenagers but myself and 4 friends took my truck to a hunting trip (I had to pull a trailer with our UTV's/ATV's). Three average sized adults in the backseat for 4ish hours roundtrip. Only complaint was the limited number of cup holders. Otherwise no one complained about being cramped.

The GNE4.5 back seats are pretty roomy.

The back seats in the ram hd crew cabs have not changed since 2010.

and a dog. Plenty of space back there.

Plenty of room in the back with a MegaCab. Seats recline and you can stretch out your legs. Heck, if you want you could fold down the seats and you have room for a couple of people to get a good nights sleep.

Yea, megacab is almost the same legroom as what I have now. A little leary of going down in cab size. Wondering about people's experience with a full rear bench in the CC.

If I am remembering correctly, the leg room is the same between CC and MC. It's behind the seat where MC wins.

I can see that, it would make sense from a manufacturing standpoint to keep everything in front of the cab stretch the same. Either way, there is a ton of legroom back there and 3 across on the rear seat is spacious by any standard.

The only thing to consider between a 4.5 gen CC and MC is the center rear seat. The CC has a cut out making the seat shorter. The MC is the same for all three rear sections. The 5th gen 1500 fixed this issue in the CC.

I believe the MC has about 2-3" additional legroom over the CC.

Yep, cc legroom: 40.2" v megacab: 43.1"

Great memories made in the back seat of the 2nd gen for me.

I sure hope the new trucks adopt the 1500 cab.. the back seat is massive compared to the 4.5 crew cab. I'm sure its very similar to a mega cab.

The 1500 DT CC is huge. It's actually larger, volume wise, than the megacab. The thing that I didn't understand was how much of a benefit that having a flat floor really is.

Thats the only thing i miss about my 1500. The back seat was amazing.
