I love supercabs, I very rarely use my rear seat for anything but random junk. The problem is resale, around here the resale on a super cab is just terrible. When I ordered my 13, it was a 800 dollar upgrade for crew cab. The difference on resale can be 3-4 grand in newer trucks.

That's pretty neat 360 view.
However they had the large half of the rear seat up so not confirmed it's 3 full seats yet. Looks promising as not much different in design from current model.
A picture thru an open rear door showing the seat and floor would be the best evidence for now.

That looks very promising.
Appears to be a flat floor and 3 equal seats from that view.
I am encouraged by Ford's common sense in truck design. I shopped hard for a replacement when my 2011 got totalled and I left them all shaking my head after owning my first Ford.
I sure know what features to look for now, all the bling is useless if the truck is uncomfortable...

Honestly the Tundra has had the most comfortable and roomy back seat out of all the trucks. I am curious if the new f150 reclines more as it is a bit more vertical than the tundra.

Why did I go with the same when I've been a life long GMC truck owner?
Because no other truck on the market has a comparable rear seat, adult headrests and flat floor like this F150. I looked at Ram and GMC and left disgusted with many features but none as bad as the rear accommodations.
The competition has made their trucks into 4 seaters with the center seat turned into a joke. Loading tools and gear into the flat floor is so much better than the hump in the middle option.
When 5 big men go on a road trip the F150 is the only one that makes all 3 rear passengers feel like they aren't getting shafted by being in the back. And safety in case of rear end accident the Ford is the only one with real headrests in each position. And I just had a trip in the back of a new Ram 3500 and my head was tapping the roof?? WTF? My friends wouldn't even fit back there!
So please someone who has seen interior pics of the Ford rear seating please tell us these great features haven't been lost on the 2015.

I heard my friends comment the Tundra was comfy and roomy in the largest cab configuration with a recent trip they took without me, but only 4 of them in cab. If there was 5 six foot plus men would it be as good as the Ford?
I will have to go sit in the back of one and check out the center seat.

While I don't care for the tundra it wins hands down with the backseat.

Is the Ram the only one that makes you bend over and grab your coffee cup from between your friends ankles? You have to invite a small woman to ride in the center on a trip or bad rumors will spread.
Nothing like placing cup holders in the right locations instead of an after thought.

Agree 100%, horrible placement in the RAM
