I'm 6'. I love the new supercab with the full swing door, and I think it looks better than Super Crew, but I wouldn't want to be in the back all the time. It's better than many cars in the back, but not stretch out like the crew. If just once in a while it's perfect. Kids will be fine and dandy.

I am leery of the suicide door arrangement after bad luck with my 99 F250. The doors would rattle and shake going down washboard roads.
I'd take the supercrew just for the structural post between the doors.

Here is how I would make that choice. If the rear is rarely used for humans, the super cab is great for a toolbox or your lunch kit or occasional use for kids that are out of car seats. If you have kids in car seats, or have folks in the back seat often, the super crew is amazing.

I'm in the market for a new truck, and just sat in both. I would tell you it all depends on how you plan to use the truck, and how long you want adults to sit in the back. While not jammed in the back of the Super Cab, I would not want to ride back there for more than an hour or so, so if you plan to take long road trips with more than two adults, I would go with the Super Crew. For short hauls around town, the Super Cab would be fine. After driving and riding in both, I'm going with the Super Crew.

I have the Scab and like it but it's just my bride and me now. If I still had kids at home then I'd get the Screw for sure.

The competition went with conventional-style rear doors for the extended cabs, which is something I wish Ford did. Being able to open the rear doors without the front would be useful.

The wife and I are empty nester's, and I just got a Supercrew. Don't regret it at all. There is so much room in the back and when you flip the seats up, the back of the truck is huge for suitcases, packages, whatever. I rode in a neighbors Supercab. Nice truck, but I wouldn't want to be in the back for a long ride.

Having worked wrecks involving late-model Supercab configurations of multiple brands (basically any of the trucks that lack a pillar/post between front and rear seats) I wouldn't even ride in one, much less buy one.

I find the extra cab room useful in many respects with my Supercrew. The best thing for me and the things I haul is the room that opens up when the rear seats are folded up.
I'd go 157"wb Super Crew.
