So you're looking for a truck that can seat the whole family or a larger work crew - you'll generally be comparing the extended cab 2018 Ford F-150 against the crew cab version. To decide which is going to work best, you'll have to ask yourself:
- What size truck bed do I need?
- How often and how far will I carry passengers?
- How much am I willing to spend?
Size
It's not a hard and fast rule, but most pickup trucks don't offer their longest bed when you opt for the crew cab configuration. Why? Because most drivers looking for a crew cab aren't also seeking the practicality that comes with a huge bed. Also, combining a crew cab with a longer bed makes for an extremely long vehicle that will be very tough to maneuver, not only in places like Tawas City, but even in sparsely populated areas of Iosco County.
If you really need the longer bed length, you should strongly consider opting for an extended cab truck over a crew cab truck.
Space
One of the most common reasons people become confused about the difference between extended cab trucks and crew cab trucks is that they both tend to offer the same passenger capacity.
However, passenger capacity only tells you how many people a vehicle can seat. In general, a crew cab will offer significantly more space. If you like taking longer journeys or if you accommodate passengers frequently, the added stretching room that comes with a crew cab offers appeal over an extended cab.
Cost
Finally, consider cost. Trucks tend to cost more than cars, so budgeting will have already taken on added importance.
As for the difference between crew cab trucks and extended cab trucks, you'll usually find that extended cab models are generally a little less expensive - that said, a crew cab will likely enjoy a stronger resale value. It all comes down to whether you'd rather spend less now or make a little more when it comes time to sell.
