Supercabs are nice to have, but it is tough to beat the looks of a reg cab shortbox 4x4 truck. Even the long box trucks look pretty nice to me, hence why I have one... not to mention it makes hauling fence posts easier with the bigger bed.

I like regular cab trucks also cause they got that wiggle their way through the woods appeal. Those old ones are going fast now that scrap metal prices have risen in the past few years.

6'-3" here, all depends on comfort level. I have been in mine for many hours at a time and its all good.

Bet you anything Ford does the same thing Chevy did with the S10. Slap some new panels and a crummy motor in it (Inline 5) and call it a new pickup!!! Yeah!!! :icon_rofl:
I believe that was a ground up effort on GM or I sue zoo's part. Quite pathetic. I hope FORD didn't go playing copycat.

You guys have to sit in a 1998 or newer standard cab. I am 6 04 and am quite comfortable in there.

All I can say that i love my rusty ol' blue. with its long bed and standard cab. I am the one that has to bail my friends out when crap doen't fit into their rinky-dink little truck beds. And as far as room for the family goes thats why the wife has a rodeo.

Hey rustbucket I know what you mean. People make fun of The Cookie Monster, untill they need its help.

My uncle used to call it all sorts of names, comparing it to his f-250. Well the day came that both he and I where hauling wood for my schools marching band (we wher having a party) well the mighty F-250 got stuck in the mud. And it was teh little ford ranger that had to pull it out. :-D
