I could never go with anything smaller than a crew cab for a full sized truck. Not for the people space, but for the fact that I can store so much shit in the back cab and have it shielded from the weather. I've got a decent bed cover that I bought for the truck for $289 shipped, but it's not really sealed. I can haul band gear for gigs and shit back there, but on the off chance we run through some rain it's nice to have the back cab. And when I pull the rear seat out it's space galore.
My double cab is pretty near what your crew cab is. It's huge inside.

Are we talking the small door ones? I forget what the cab configs are called.

If so, that is what my Silverado was. And it was tiny inside. Barely any leg room for even my kids and they had to sit straight up. No recline at all.

I still do not understand the love of small trucks here. Go big or go home. Only 1 full size has been posted in here this far. When I find a pic of mine it'll make two.

No, Crew Cab is usually the biggest. It's a full sized rear door.
Extended cab is just a deeper cab with either no rear doors or suicide doors.
Quad cab is usually rear doors with handles but less room.
Crew cab is probably an extra 8-12" of depth and I don't think I'd ever buy another truck without that space. It's kind of like a suburban with no 3rd row seat and a bed. But the crew cabs usually have the shorter beds. For me that's fine. I haul but it's really not that much.

When I was looking for a truck for the house I almost got one of those Fords with those LONGGGGG ass beds because if I was gonna get a truck, why not be able to haul the most shit possible. But the weak ass 4.8L or whatever was in it made me gag. Then my friend came along with his for sale so I jumped on it.

Better to have a neighbor with a truck, boat, pool, cabin in the woods, etc.

Though I do want a hot tub. Next house will have that and a big ass garage.

I love my MS truck because it's damn near perfect. It's the right size for the areas I drive, and even then it's really to big honestly. The only thing that I wish was different was a bigger motor. A FS truck is just too big for my needs at this time, and the MS truck does everything I need and will need for sometime without any issues at all. Eventually, I want a FS truck, but have no need for one for the foreseeable future right now. There's a truck for every need, and it seems that most of us really only need a MS truck at this time.

My issue besides money is space. I want it to be indoors for NFG year round use.

I've had S10s before, great little trucks for doing shit, but hauling? LOL. I had friends say "Oh you've got a truck, can you help me move my computer desk and shit?"
Get said desk in, it's tilted at an angle and the wheel wells sticking up completely eliminate all chance of throwing anything significantly sized back there. Useless unless you're hauling dinky shit in the back.

When we were looking for a truck for the house, my fiance kept linking me to dumb shit like step sides. I kept LOLing

The issue with the truck that I've got (1500 Silverado) is that it's got 3.23 gears in the rear. Great for highway, but trash for the city and hauling. I considered throwing a few parts at it like intake and shit, but when I'm bottle necked with 3.23 rears, nothing is going to make this truck fun. And then I got it for $3K, so should I spend 1K to regear it? Which means I'd have to replace the G80 posi in the back (200K miles, it'll need to go eventually)... So I'd be spending 50% of what a truck is worth just on rebuilding the rear. Not worth it for me.

I don't need to haul a trailer - just some occasional bulky cargo, a :doge:, and bikes. And car wheels and tires.

No need whatsoever for a fullsize or HD truck.
I could actually use a base 2wd v6 full size, but only because they're so fucking cheap. In theory I'd rather have a small cargo van like the promaster city but those cost WAY more than a pickup. (Ownership cost, not just MSRP)

What's the tow rating on the Bro-Forks?

Enough to tow a R53 places.

Or R56... perfect.

The new GM extended cab (2014+ double cab) has full rear doors and a surprising amount of space inside. The Volt has less rear space than my truck.

:bruh:

Did you not hear :neek: say that it was cramped?

:rolleyes:
I live with the thing every day and find the space ample. We regularly take 4 people in it and people in the back claim it's fine. We've even had 6 people in it before, and while cramped worked out.

Seeing if a Bro-Forks or similar would be a suitable addition to my fleet. Not asking you to tow the pumpkin around anywhere.

Honestly, I love this truck.

I was thinking about it this morning as I drove to work. The :manuel: makes it surprisingly fun - if you ever wanna take it for a spin lemme know.
Getting sideways in an intersection in the F250 was pretty fun. Thing is a beast when tuned.
