Double Cab Vs. Ext Cab

2scars · Aug 18, 2014

But the difference is only 1 foot in bed length. Not critical, it's not as though it is a full size 8' bed vs. DC short bed. You can barely fit a sheet of plywood in the 6' bed, and I don't know about the "hard to find a toolbox" issue. My UWS went from my Ext. cab right into my DC with no issue. It is standard as far as I know. The auto isn't my favorite, but is definitely growing on me.

2. For me, the Xtracab was the only way to roll, as it's the perfectly-balanced truck. Singlecab looks too tiny/severe and is too impractical, while the DC is out-of-whack re: proportions, with the cab being longer than the bed, visually. That short bed just doesn't work for me. Xtracab gives you the best of both worlds -- the extra space in the cab to toss gym bags, laptop cases, and all sorts of other stuff behind the front seats, and can *technically* carry 2 more people someplace, albeit in tight fashion. On top of that you get the 6' bed with the 7' diagonal which is just so damn useful. For me, this was not just a consideration or optional -- Xtracabs only. :-D

Yep. To me the DC looks out of proportion. I would almost rather go to a 4 runner and pull a trailer to sub for bed space than do a DC and deal with the look of the short bed. Just seems "off", but it's all personal preference !
