Might be able to go with a slim powered sub behind the seat. I'm not sure what kind of room there is.

Powered Sub Crutchfiled

I'm now looking into a single 10" in a flat box under the single side of the rear seat. I figure I can simply detach the box when I need the whole floor, but having the 60% side free should be more than enough for 96% of the time.

All it takes is some air turbulence, likely while driving, to push those drops into the cabin space. The hose extension or sealing around that existing stubby hose protrusion, nearly flush with the firewall, are good ideas.
Although, I would still inspect the interior for other leak points.
It wouldn't take long to saturate the interior in this heat and humidity around here.
The drain length and shape are designed to prevent air pushing it back into the HVAC box. If the interior is getting wet, it's likely coming in from somewhere else, or the drain is partially clogged, not allowing enough flow so the condensate is "overflowing" into the cabin
I'll update everyone after a few days of driving. This is just my simple fix to hopefully cure the issue. If the issue persists, then I'll explore other options / causes. I just wish the factory design was a little better thought out. I get that more material equals more money, but I would like to have seen a further stick out, and possibly an elbow pointing downward.

Most vehicles have a very similar drain for the HVAC.

Replaced the 3/4” LED’s in my toolbox with a dual function model. In addition to the amber running light function, these also switch to white when triggered by the cargo lights.

Sacrificed a foot of my garden hose so my wife could keep her feet dry. The short a/c drain has been running down my firewall into the cabin. Found a soaked floor when I was doing a weekend interior clean out. Well done ram engineers.

So dumb how they did this. Most vehicles have a tube that runs down near the frame rail.

Since you have the hose in place hook-up a wet dry vac on the hose, it will clear any debris that may be blocking drain.

Just keep it hooked up to a key on power source to suck the water out as you drive.

Update:

My mid and top end are beautifully clear and bright now, but I have lost some bass, which is forcing me to expedite the installation of a subwoofer.

My only contention is that I love (and often need) that bit of extra space under the back seats. Any ideas or suggestion for other mounting spots for a single 10" SW?
Net audio I think it was makes a single sub solution that mounts behind the rear seats

I bought this same one from HD. It works pretty well for what it is. No complaints.
I got mine from Amazon. No need spending a lot of money on onez and Amazon was cheapest. I have the stackable totes from Home Depot in the bed though.

What most cars? I've never seen more than an elbow turned down. My girlfriends Edge did have a tube, but it ran inside the car, and dumped in the trans tunnel. They all clog.
