Thanks heaps for the comparison. Visually it gives me something to work with.yes but mostly no
The front passenger side is pushed back, with the passenger back flipped up, but the driver’s seat is pushed forward with the back passenger flipped down. And both front seats are in fairly upright positions
now, if someone is looking at this photo and saying “the back seat is small” without considering what should be the obvious fact the front seats move, then I’m with you.
but when I look at this photo I’m saying it is small only after accounting for the fact the front seats move.
in contrast, here’s an F150 SeperCrew with both front seats set 3/4 the way back (further than I have them back, at 6’3”, and both seats reclined considerably:
And here’s the F150 with the back seats flipped up, and front seats 3/4 bac
these things and comparisons all considered is why I say it looks much smaller than the larger 1/2 ton trucks
I completely agree the CT rear seat legroom is more compact than the Lightning, probably by about 4-6inches. That's a shame, but it's still going to be bigger than a MY. I'm a little concerned with the rear headroom as well (being 6'6) but I think the extra width and gabled roof line will still make it a comfortable long range tourer with 4-5 adults.
I think the Supercrew rear seat is borderline excessive in size (although limousine level space comfy and like it), but in regards to the CT main market, (cost conscious and practicle size)and the fact that it poses a safety risk as the rear passengers are only retained by the seatbelts, and theres lots of room for things and people to move about in the rear, so they are not in a ideal position for the safety systems to work properly in a crash.
Overall, so long you are comfortable in a natural seating position, without being boxed in, it doesn't really help if you have too much legroom, in particular if you don't have legrests to keep you legs up and extended.
Another thing I noticed in the comparison, is that the front seats seen to be quite high off the ground, so you're feet can easily fit under them. This might add some extra legroom without needing a longer cab. That could be like another 4", that the Supercrew doesn't seem to have, but also doesn't need.
Although I was hoping for more space in the rear, I think what it offers will suffice.
