I already have my project truck, but it may become parts for a trail rig but I still want a dd that I can get to my camping spots in. my wife won't get a truck longer than a scsb.

Crew Cab SB would be ideal, having said that if your decision is final that it be a bronco or SCSB Id go super cab

I'm 6'4" and I can sit in the backseat of my supercab F-150. In college my truck was the only one with 4x4 and 6 seat belts, so it was loaded up repeatedly to go camping north of Crested Butte, CO. I dragged my rear bumper pretty often but it never did any damage, and always got us where we thought we should go. Usually had 3 people up front with two in the backseat. Gear in the bed. These trucks have great middle seats up front so long as you get the bench.
My dad drives a Bronco, I think they're pretty roomy. We had four of us in that all the time, no dogs though. A roof rack would be a good call with the Bronco though.
I'm partial to the F150s being thats what I drive, but in either case you'll be fine. They don't ride like a Cadillac, and I'm not sure if you'll think the suspension is stiff, but its a truck...duh

There is quite a bit more leg room in the bronco, about 12" more And the seat doesnt sit on the floor like the supercabs do

depends what year super cab. the back seat in my 95 faces forward and does not sit on the floor. I am only 5'9" but I can sit back there comfortably and my three teenagers ride back there all the time without complaining. I wouldn't want to be moving a car seat in and out of there though.

Every supercab from 80-96 had the seats on the floor, unless you have the aftermarket riser kit or unless you had the rare jump seat option which is about useless

I guess someone could have added the riser kit,but my seat has enough room underneath it to store a small tool box,some oil and antifreeze jugs,and a first aid kit with room to spare. and it is a bench seat.

Then you have the riser kit. Stock you are luck to put a pair of gloves under the seat

Both the supercabs I've owned were like Brad says. My dad had a supercab that a PO had put a riser kit in and when he sold that truck he swapped it over to his next supercab.

Not to get off topic, but what is the riser kit and where can I get one? Does it interfere with the seat folding flat?
