> I need to tow a 5000lb boat 300 miles without charging

That's a 4-5 hour trip and you don't want to stop to charge for thirty minutes? One bathroom break or stop for food and you've already spent probably half of those 30m stopped anyway.

> fit 6 passengers

This truck does? It has a third row.

But I'm curious what truck you think will comfortably fit six passengers for under $30k. If the second row fits three people and the front row fits two passengers (and frankly, having a person ride in the middle of the front row is ridiculous), you only seat five passengers. Even if you count the driver as a passenger, at best you've got one uncomfortable occupant.

- Ram 1500 starts at 40k

- F150 starts at 38k

- Silverado 1500 starts at 37k

- Ford Superduty starts above 40k

- Sierra 1500 starts at 38k

And most of these are just bench seats in the front, not a third row.
