single cab, xtra cab, quad cab

which does everyone prefer? for my tastes, single cabs are the shiznit, and if coupled with a long bed, oh yeah! I think there is too little bed room on a quad cab and xtra cabs just mean more lost stuff back there. what does anyone think?

btw, if anyone had a single cab for sale...

eh,.....wrong section....unless you've got something to sell.

Personally I have a single cab, not enough room. Debating on swapping an Ext. cab onto my frame or cutting the back of the cab out, Ala Trekker style.

I currently drive a single cab. I'm not that tall (5'10") and I feel there is not alot of room. I can't wait until I get my 95 ext. cab on the road.

Probably the only single cabs I do like are the first gens (79 to 83).

I personally prefer extended cabs because I like having the ability to keep possessions inside of the vehicle without sacrificing space.

I also find my 81 is a tight fit for me and I'm no more that 5'9" tall.

personally, if its a full-size, I'll take a quad cab. And long bed.

For compact 4wd, reg short is best. For compact 2wd, I prefer reg long.

I've only ever ridden in my xtra cab... not a lot of Toyota trucks around here, especially pre-Tacos.

x2 - especially for a wheelin' truck. Nice to be able to have a cooler or whatnot in the cab where you can get to it.

Its nice being able to carry stuff inside the back of the cab. The only truck I would want to be reg cab would be a dedicated 1st gen trail truck.

my opinion, i would love an ext cab, i love the look.
Esp and EXT cab with a long bed, not sure if they made those.

I dont like single cabs with long beds, looks too unproportioned.

ive only ever owned and driven a single cab, yet i would love more room
its all up to you buddy

I love the look of the reg cab long bed but like shaw_j said I like storing stuff in the cab now if only there was a xtra cab long bed that would be sick
