Regular cab vs double cab vs crew cab?

[Drewster2016]

For 2015 I can't decide which cab! I really like the fact that I can bring friends with me (6) compared to 3 with a regular cab. Is a double cab suitable for teens and adults? Or is it worth to spend the extra for the crew? Keep in mind that I'm 17 and this is a lot a lot of money in spending

Get crew. It costs more upfront but usually has a better resale value. Well that is if it is not abused like most teens do to vehicles

I won't be abusing a 50k dollar vehicle.. I'll be plowing and towing a trailer for landscaping. I'm just trying to decide crew or the double. I plan on keeping the truck at least 6 years

Double cab is kind of a happy medium...... I had an extended cab and it was a pain, had a Dodge Prior with the 4 door quad cab and although smaller than a crew cab there were no complaints..... I think the new GM double cab would be the same...

thats what im seeing double cabs are nice... i may just go with a full crew cab and suck it up.. wow 57k for full crew cab?!?!? double cab may be better then... how comfortable is the back for road trips??

If you are going to have people getting in and out of the back on a daily basis. Get the crew cab. I have a double cab and it's ok for occasional passenger use. I would get a crew cab if I had to use the back seats all the time. The doors on a double cab have a rather small opening to them.

For some, parking is also a consideration. Double cab with the standard box will fit in a lot of garages that the crew with standard box will not fit into. This issue is one of the reasons the short (5'8") version of the 1/2 ton was created.

 

(in the 1/2 ton world, the crew with the short (5'8") box is the same size as a double cab with the 6 1/2' box).

 

If you're going to plow, do you want an 8' box for a salter/sander? Maybe the 'plow truck' isn't the people hauling vehicle (at least not more than the 3 you can carry in a reg cab)

Get the regular cab, you only need room for one friend. That and women wont get any ideas their heathen spawn will fit.
