You could order a cab/chassis and throw a take-off bed on it!

All my trucks have been extended cabs of that brand. My current Quad Cab certainly avoids the suicide door issue, but the door itself is woefully narrow, and I wouldn't subject any adult over 5'6" back there. Next rig will be a crew - available finances will determine whether SRW shortbed or another dually.

I used to think a supercab was all anyone would ever need. Then I experienced the rubix cube that is getting out of the back seat while in a tight parking spot. Let's see how this goes.

Park truck.
Driver opens his door, gets out, opens rear door. Rear passenger steps out. You now have presumably two grown men, standing entirely too close to one another. Now they have to get even closer to each other, I hope they like each other. So they both step into the space that the front door swept area occupies. Then the rear door can be closed. Now, both people must move towards the rear of the truck, which is good because anyone with a sense of personal space is rather uncomfortable by now. At this point the front door can be closed, and all parties can begin progress towards the ultimate destination. Oh, and this whole show takes place on the other side of the vehicle as well. And also, if you have three passengers in the rear seat, someone is getting doubled up in the process. All this should be done assuring you aren't door dinging my crew cab truck sitting in the next spot please.
Really, the best way is to go over the entry/exit process with any new passengers prior to attempting. Otherwise a simple lunch trip with co workers can become a door collision/slamming event, that nobody wants to see. You also repeat this process 4 times for even the shortest of trips when you have a cab full.

Of course, none of the above applies if you don't ever carry passengers. I have a family of four and I live in the 4th largest city in the US, so for me, crew cab without exception.

We had one SC, how we got adult passengers out, driver opens door, turns in seat opens back door, lets out rear seat pax, closes that door, then the driver can exit. We went back the CC really quick.

^^^^^^ I agree with the above comments. An extended cab is best for 1 or 2 passengers. My next purchase will be an extended cab , in my f550, but that is for the dry storage the rear part offers. In a pinch I'd carry passengers, a plus in the versaltitly department, but not its primary purpose.

That's why I chose a SC. Dry storage. It will still be better than all my previous RC manual transmission trucks for the rare time I have more than one passenger, without the length of a CC.
. I tend to park in the back of the lot anyways...so "dancing with the doors" will not be a problem.
