I like to keep an eye on things though so as to be an informed consumer when the time comes. My truck config. of choice is a SuperCab short box 4x4. Lately it seems nearly every lot I drive by, all I see is crew cabs. This is just a non-scientific observation, and when my time comes I know I can order if I have to. I was just curious if any others had noticed it. Have the manufacturers done some kind of market study and learned this is what 90% of people want? To those of you who don't have kids etc. and have a crew cab; any regrets? I've had my SuperCab 6 1/2' box truck now for nine years and love it for the easier maneuverability etc. I just kinda wish there were more like that to kick the tires on so to speak. Any thoughts?

That's why the dealers stock them, because most people want them.

The supercab on the Ford is just to uncomfortable for rear seating of adult passengers. I love the interior space that you get with the crew cab and since I have a TT the short bed works well for me. 09 SuperDuty Crew Cab 6.8L/4.10(The Black Pearl) 06 Keystone Hornet 29 RLS/(The Cracker Cabana) Camping Photos blackeyed1 • View posts Michigan Full Member Joined: 04/25/2010 View Profile Offline Posted: 02/06/12 08:03am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I have a crew cab and long bed. Had a supercab but couldn't fit family back there or dog carriers. I can now carry 4 people in the backseat comfortably. And loads of groceries. goodcruisin • View posts Greenwood, IN Senior Member Joined: 04/17/2007 View Profile Offline Posted: 02/06/12 08:08am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Much more useful. The back seat provides alot more room. I've had regular cabs, extended cabs and now a four door. I don't figure I'll ever have another non-four door truck. It has come in handy way too many times.

My short bed extended cab will barely fit in the spaces in the Walmart parking lot in town. 2012 Jay Flight 19RD TT/W thermal package R19 walls, R22 roof, R24 floor 2008 F-250 Ford FX4 6.8L V10/4.10 rear axle Curt class V hitch Reese Trunion WD with dual cam AC6CV/7 ex-W8RUR since 1954 jalichty • View posts Lander, Wyoming 82520 Senior Member Joined: 09/18/2003 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 02/06/12 08:17am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I had an extended cab back in 1987 but when it came time to get rid of it, went with the crew cab configuration because of the comfort in the second seat. There is more room for either gear or people than there ever was in our extended cab. I just think the rest of the American car-buying public is finally finding that out. John A.

By far the most comfortable in the back when I do need the ability to move people. Plus it has the easiest access and most storage when I need to move things, which is more frequent. As a business owner, with wife and two kids, it is perfect for us. My family fits and is comfy when we all go, and during the work week I have my laptop, jacket, and toolbox in the back seat with easy access. My F-350 has the load floor thingie that folds out from under the seats to give a solid steel load floor. I've used it several times.
