I find it funny that no one's made this comment! Or maybe I'm a odd ball LOL
But I've owned a 99 F150 ext. cab and then upgraded to a 2002 F250 ext. cab.
Now at this time I passed up on a 2002 Crew Cab that wouldn't have been much more!
Thought to myself would of been nice but ext. cab be fine!
Well in my job I haul lots of crap around with me and MAN I get tired of opening two doors to get crap out!
So 3 yrs ago got me a brand new Crew cab! love being able to unload the back seat with just opening one door
Plus great for trips and camping hauls 4 adults to the lake with gear and my boat
Here's a kicker, buddy at work bought new super after I got mine and asked me about ext cab or crew and I told him my reason and he said ext be fine with him! 4 months later he was moaning about opening the doors so much. LoL

My Super Cab Short Bed 4X4 is enough truck for my needs. We have no kids at home, no dog right now. I have a trailer if I need to take on huge loads. My tools, luggage or groceries fit in the cab fine.

tis better to have and not need then need and not have 
i almost talked myself into a new reg cab this fall when i got the new truck bug...then thought a Ex-Cab...finally decided to wait for a Friends '11 super crew that will go off lease next year i knew i'd need the room. (and save alot of $$ over buying brand new)
thus the reason i have an excursion, the crew cab just didn't have enough room for me.

Hi,
Crew cab all day, everyday. As for the box, short or long. I see the advantages of both. Personally, I have been able to get by with with the short bed. It really has been the perfect size for everything I do the truck. If I had a long box, it would be harder to get into my driveway. The CC SB is already a tight fit. The crew cab has paid for itself already this year. I love the fact I was able to fit four adults, a child and a dog in the truck in one shot. All comfortable as well.
However, I will not dislike the extended cab. I had one and it served me well. I love the fact I sold the truck to a friend of mine. They love it and it serves them well. That truck was perfect for what I asked it to do. If I didn't have the urge to upgrade this year, that 99 F150 would still be working hard for me not my friend.

Lets see,,, I own a 02 Ex, an 02 F350 CC and an 01 F350 CC,,, my vote is for CREW CAB!!
My first SD was a late 99 F250 SC/SB 7.3/4x4 bought from my old boss with like 8k miles or something, for a work truck, it was fine, I liked the fact that the rear seat folded flat, could put toolbox, climbing bag in and keep it dry and safe, AND could pile up blankets and have a nice bed when hunting, I am only 5'9" 205, so I could practically stretch out at a bit of an angle. Now, with 3 chillrens, a CC is a must!
