Wish auto makers gave their single cabs more love than just selling them as basic work trucks. A two seater with all the bells and whistles, and
a center compartment in the middle (can be a optional choice for the customer) would be perfect.
I don't need a big fat four door crew cab truck.

Those cabs are better than a four door crew cab, that's for sure.

Smaller trucks like the Ford Ranger, Chevrolet S10, Dodge Dakota, etc., all looked and were best as regular cabs. Larger trucks seem to be more practical and look better in king or crew cab configurations.
>>
Single cab is fine if it has an 8' bed. Meant for work and ready to haul. A 6' bed can work well enough, but if you're going to lose 2' of workable bed space, you might as well have more room in the cab.

Extended cab is objectively superior though.

>interior room to carry things or additional passenger(s)
>doesn't add enough to the wheelbase to detract from maneuverability/handling

The only reason to go single cab is when paired with shortbox for absolute minimum cost and footprint and use as a dedicated beater and absolute barest function of a truck. Extended cab standard box should be the actual standard.

Quadcabs are fine but should never have shortboxes, only standard or long. Shortbox quadcabs look retarded and sacrifice utility despite remaining huge, while quadcab standard/long retain full utility and look properly balanced.

Automakers are just keeping single cabs stay true to it's own roots, and thats being a basic work truck. Crew cabs with short beds are for douchebags who want to look tough and menacing because they drive a truck.

Extended cab is perfect, not too big, but not too small to store extra shit behind you that you don't want in the bed.

See I think that extended cabs are what people with single cabs should have. Still have the room/people up front, and if you need to store some stuff in the cab, you have a little bit of room to do so. I have an extended cab, but have had enough situations where I've needed to seat a lot of people, or fit more things in the cab (that needed to be in the cab) than an extended cab could fit.

Personal preference I find the ex cabs are nearly useless for people, might be good to haul a few groceries etc around but the new trucks sacrifice bed space for ex cab which I think isn't acceptable. I just feel like you don't gain a lot for a worse looking setup [IMO]. If you're really after max utility then CCLB is the only real option.

Maybe it's just older Ram single cabs then.

There's such little room in the between the seat and the pedals that I have to stab the pedals with my toes because it's physically impossible to properly put my foot on them. 6'3" as well.

Single cabs do look much cooler.
>>
I've had single, extended and currently have a crew cab. No way I would ever go back to an extended or single cab. 4 doors is where its at.

Even with a slightly shorter box, there is way more utility. A short box is perfectly fine for hauling dead animals and mulch or towing a boat.

73-87 Chevy's have a shitload of room in a single cab, the only issue with them ends up being people who use aftermarket steering wheels which extend the wheel 2-3" because of an adapter.

I hear ya - they're excellent for just doing work, in situations where you don't need a little bit of space between the seat for backpacks and other stuff you don't want on an open bed

I prefer extended cabs - allows me to have two good seats front, two shit ones in the back, and a place to put stuff I want safe and dry, aswell as space for a subwoofer and whatnot

hmm ok.
If you actually needed a truck you would own a real one and then maybe a Subaru or something. Crew cabs either have short beds (if this is you then you could be getting by just fine with a station wagon) or they're ridiculously long which makes them a uncomfortable to ride in and a pain in the ass to park (if this is you then you don't actually move people that often).

Too low, short box, and seats the same as a corvette. Dude, it's an oversized, gas wasting car. Someone castrated that thing.

I have a single cab but I can understand why people like extended cabs. I have thought of the pleasure to use the extended cab as a place to put all of my shit.

Back when I didn't have a bunch of friends I liked half half ton SCSB's and 1ton SCLB's. Now I have a 1/4ton ECSB and wish I had a CCSB 1/4ton to daily. You CAN fit 6 people in an ext cab S10, but you can only drive for 10 minutes at a time.
