I’ve decided that my next vehicle is gonna be a 2500 work truck with a 6.0 (transfer case lever for the win) however I can’t decide between the crew cab or the extra cab.  Can actual adults fit in the rear seats of an extra cab?  Won’t be for long rides but I don’t want it to be something that only a contortionist could fit in.

It's pretty darn tight back there for adults. If they were about 5 foot 5 then it would be easier but anyone taller is going to be sitting sideways.

Yeah, for a 1-off thing and a relatively short trip, a full size adult can be back there, but regularly or for a long trip, it would suck.

My preference is for the extended cab if rear seat passengers would not be a regular occurrence.  Great looking truck!

My crew cab is a real blessing. There's a huge amount of space in the rear area when the seats are folded down. I have two large dogs, so I got a large piece of carpet from Home Depot that goes from the front headrests to the rear window and they're happy as can be. For a work truck, either rear seat can be folded and valuables stored there.

The crew cab short bed (6.5 ft, CCSB) is actually longer than a standard cab long bed (SCLB). This makes the CCSB a great platform for towing, my '03 CCSB 2500HS 6.0 4x4 has a gooseneck hitch in the bed.

Huh?

 

Short beds are 60 inches or so.  Regular beds are 78 inches or so and long beds are about 96 inches.  Been that way for as long as I can remember.

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
