Well, it is in the system settings as an option.  Apparently it is not programmed properly.  An update should fix it.  My truck is not yet built so maybe it will work on mine.

 

I'll take rock rails tucked under the body any day over all the steps the factory offers.  But the AT4X is so tall, the power boards are a welcomed inclusion.

Yeah...I get it. Factory fixed running boards aren't the greatest either. I was 50/50 on getting them. Wasn't a cost issue at all. What's 1K when you are spending $80K+!

Our time lines are running real close.... maybe they ran the double cabs at the same time...?

Re: OPA winner's Banquet,... I wish, only in my wildest dreams. I'm just an offshore wanna be who's time has come and gone.  Again, congratulations to Team Saris on the stellar year, maybe see ya at 2024 Lake Race.

Double cab SLE, you betcha.

I'm dangerous enough backing at the boat ramp that I don't need the extra length of the mega monster crew cab. I can place the trailer tires w/ pinpoint accuracy, it's just the front of the truck swinging like a pendulum that gets me in trouble

i didnt want a land yacht! personally i like a truck with a certain cab to bed ratio.....i would need a long bed with a crew or they just look like toys lol

Long bed crew is like driving a school bus around. All depends on what you're doing with them and the look you want. I personally feel that the standard bed crews look far better, but they won't tow quite as well. The double-cabs look too stubby & are cramped in comparison to a crew. I was always a regular cab long box guy until I started buying crews in '07, and I'll never go back because I got used to the room. The best towing truck is the long box crew dually, but it's a behemoth if you're just driving around!

[TeamSaris]

there's pros and cons to it all. the crew/std bed looks good in a 3/4 but i cant stand crew/short bed in a half ton. soccer mom trucks....just get a tahoe. personally i think the double cab/std bed looks more "trucky" in the 3/4. plus a little shorter overall which I like. reminds me of the extended cab which i loved the look of. none of us can go wrong thats for sure. hell im not sitting back there lol

[453030]

What is the length difference between a double cab and crew with the same bed?  9"?  Don't see that mattering to anyone unless the garage is too small for a crew.

[TeamSaris]

i agree its not much but every little bit helps sometimes. i play in a band, gotta park in cities sometimes. i wanted the smallest "big truck" i could get other than a reg cab. and like i said...I prefer the less cab more bed look. looks tougher to me. its just a personal opinion....everybodies got one lol

No arguments on that point!

For me it was crew cab or bust. My seat needs to be back almost all the way and with three kids across the back, it was crew only. I still feel there is more box than cab length due to the nearly 7’ box. But that isn’t the case in a half ton. 
 

I would have liked the long bed but won’t  fit in the garage and the std box will. I prefer getting in the truck at 40deg vs below zero and scraping off ice and snow haha

Yeah, to be honest, after owning HD's ALL the 1/2 ton's (GM, RAM, Ford) look ridiculous to me. The rake of them just screams cheap to me. The HD's just look more "manly"!

[mtbadbob]

I haven't been able to find exactly what I'm looking for on the lengths, but it looks like a double-cab long box is very close to the same length as a crew standard bed.

I placed an order with my dealer on 3/31/2023 for a Crew Cab Long Bed 2500 L8T.  The dealer called me on 2/1/2024 with allocation.  Long Beds seem to have been so hard to come by in my area for the last year.  I'm not sure I believed it until I saw the Chevy.com chat bot list my order status as accepted by GM.

Not a ton of call vs the shorter bed plus they only build those in flint.
