What is a regular cab vs crew cab vs extended cab trucks?
It seems like pickup trucks are everywhere. The times when pickups were built only for work are long gone. These days, pickups can be outfitted to be as luxurious as the most iconic names in luxury. There is a truck made for you, regardless of whether you require a workhorse or want the lap of luxury. Once you figure out if you require 4-Wheel Drive (or just Rear-Wheel Drive), the next big decision is to decide what cab size is best for you.
A regular cab truck has only one row of seats with a small amount of legroom and storage space, as the name implies. A regular cab used to be the single configuration available on pickup trucks. In nearly all regular cab pickups, the seats nearly touch the rear of the cab. This is the utilitarian version of a pickup truck and can usually be ordered with manual locks and windows. A regular cab is a work pickup, not for hauling your family and friends.
As you could probably assume, an Extended Cab pickup truck (sometimes called a Double Cab pickup) is basically a Regular Cab with more area behind the front seating. When they were first introduced, extended cab pickups were available as 2-door models and had small rear jump seats available. Occasionally known as a Double Cab pickup, these trucks now come with a second row of small doors for easy access to the cargo area. While there are 2 rows of seating, an Extended Cab truck wouldn’t be the ideal choice for road trips, even if it can haul more people.
While not as clear as the earlier types, a Crew Cab pickup truck features 4 normal-size doors and the space to carry your ‘crew.’ Crew Cab pickups are built to carry more of the driver’s stuff and-or passengers. For some folk, these kinds of pickups have replaced the 4-door sedan as the family vehicle. A Crew Cab pickup truck’s more powerful engines and bigger size are unavailable in the 4-door sedan market while still providing the rear-seat legroom and luxuries that families need.
