Choosing the right truck configuration can be daunting. You may find yourself caught in the “Crew Cab vs. Extended Cab” debate, weighing the pros and cons of each. Fear not! We’re here to highlight the difference and help you make the right choice for your needs.

 

 

Crew Cab vs. Extended Cab: What’s the Difference?

First and foremost, when we discuss Crew Cab vs. Extended Cab, we’re talking about the size and space of a truck’s cab area — primarily how many doors and how much seating room it has.

Crew Cab Trucks

  • Four full-sized doors: Easier access for passengers.
  • Spacious backseat area: More comfort for backseat passengers; ideal for families or those who often drive with friends or colleagues.
  • Larger overall size: This often means less bed length unless you opt for a longer bed option.

Extended Cabs

  • Two full-sized front doors and two half-sized rear-hinged doors: Access to the back is still possible, though slightly more restrictive.
  • Smaller backseat area: Not as much legroom, but can still comfortably fit passengers for shorter Houston rides.
  • Compact size: Typically, you get more bed length for cargo without increasing the overall length of the truck.

Now, you might ask, “What is a crew cab’s advantage over an extended cab, or vice versa?” Let’s delve deeper into the extended cab vs. crew cab discussion.

Extended Cab vs. Crew Cab: Which is Right for Me?

Choosing between an extended cab and a crew cab boils down to your personal Porter needs and how you plan to use your truck. If comfort and passenger space are your priorities, crew cab trucks are likely the better choice. This is especially true if you often have backseat passengers. When people ask, “What is a crew cab?” We often describe it as the SUV of the truck world – roomy and comfortable.

On the other hand, if you don’t often have multiple passengers and need more bed space for cargo without extending the overall length of the truck, an extended cab might be the more practical option.
