single cab, xtra cab, quad cab

slisdexia · 05-11-2008, 09:27 AM

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...

EWAYota · 05-11-2008, 09:36 AM

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).

How did you post this in the classifieds section?

yeah, my mistake. I don't know if a moderator can move it or not but oops

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.

rowdy235 · 05-11-2008, 08:18 PM

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 also like the reg cab long box rarities that exist. My best friend happend apon one last year, HOWEVER, I can bearly drive his truck @6'2" so I was forced to the extended cab really.

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.

Bwilson52 · 05-12-2008, 10:36 PM

I would have to pick an xtra cab because of the space my reg cab seems so small

norcalsvx · 05-12-2008, 10:41 PM

xtra cab all the way i can lean my seat back room for tools and i can seat 4-5 people in a pinch

Jay351 · 05-12-2008, 10:53 PM

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.

scuba · 05-12-2008, 10:59 PM

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

4x4YOTA · 05-12-2008, 11:55 PM

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
