Tow Vehicle w/ Best Back Seat for Passengers - Ram Mega Cab?

[fugawi]

Greetings!

We are looking to purchase a 1 ton tow vehicle (2021-2024). We are aiming toward a Ram 3500 SRW CTD Mega Cab because its rear seats recline and it appears to have more back seat room than the Ford or Chevrolet/GMC.

We would like something with the best rear seat passenger comfort we can get -- we are assuming all of the 1-tons are good for front passenger comfort and can adequately tow a 9,000 lb travel trailer.

Has anyone compared the back seat comfort of the 1 tons and found anything better than the Ram Mega Cab in this measure?

Thank you!

I believe the OP's intention is to tow a 9000lb travel trailer with a cab full of passengers. That does not require 2-1/2 tons of payload capacity or an 8ft bed.

Folks have been getting along fine with 6-1/2ft beds for decades now. I personally have not found anything that made me stop and say, "Gosh golly gee, I wish I had an 8ft bed." I've even hauled 16ft lumber in a 6-1/2ft bed. I'm not traveling from West Virginia to Colorado like that, but I sure can get home from Lowes.

Aside from losing bed space you also lose payload. Consider that.

Well said... If I were a betting man, I would bet Ram will no longer make a MegaCab on their next gen trucks.
