My gawwwdd.... we might be brothers! I am about the exact build....
(is your hair thinning too ???
)
A super cab is out of the question for my needs. Crew cab rules!
The CC is the only way to go with hauling others around. Or,
the Expy. will work as well if you want enclosure.
For me, it is hitting the unlock on my keyfob 2 times and telling
the 2 kids to get in the back and strap in w/o me having to open a
front door first to let them in. Ahhhhhhhh, convenience.
My $0.02.

I agree with the others, if it is necessary to have comfortable seating for more than 2 adults get the Crew Cab. The Super Cab is fine if you don't haul more than 2 adults that often, but is not very comfortable for adults.
I also agree that if you are going to haul or tow much and decide to get the Crew Cab, get a F350.

I have a super cab and the inlaws fit the the back just fine. I have never heard them complain back there, and if they don't have enough room in the back seat I would gladly let them use the bed!

Go with the Crew Cab. Best money I have ever spent, you can fit 5 people comfortably in the cab. The ability to load stuff that you don't want out in the weather when you're not carrying people back there is a plus also.

I'm 9' tall and have a Tour Bus... (Sorry, couldn't resist it)
I like the SuperCab 'cuz NO KIDS, and I DON'T WANT ANYBODY BACKSEAT DRIVING
I get enough "front seat advise" already from pasenger #1, if you get my drift
Besides, CrewCabs are nothing more than shrunk down Aircraft Carriers. You'll need a tugboat to park 'em

SuperCab vs. CrewCab
Having had a regular cab for many years, I really like my extended cab. Most of the time it's just me driving without passengers (kids all gone now). The wife likes her front seat and the grandkids fit okay in the back (not all 11 of 'em). The so called suicide doors are handy for a quick toss of stuff in and out of the back. They are a a pain in the grocery store parking lot however. Most of the permanent stuff is in the three tool chests in the short bed. This buggy is all pulling power with no wasted space for occassional riders. :-)

I had a '98 F-150 4x4 SC, which was a terrific truck, but when I tried to ride in the back seat for an extended period, I was totally UNcomfortable. Had to sit sideways even with the seat slid forward.
With that in mind, I went looking for an older F-350 CC (diesel, of course !). I am totally pleased with the room available for additional adults.
If you decide to go CC, then I recommend you go F-350 at least. If you are confident in your driving abilities, get a Long Bed Dually!! Yeah, they are a little bigger than your average pick-up, but it will probably be "all the truck you will ever need".

Why type in lower case when you can YELL for the same cost. To answer your question, I opted for the extra room in the bed, not the cab, without sacrificing too much overall length. To each his own, I guess.

SuperCab vs. CrewCab
We've done some long trips in my truck and the CC seat is just wide enough to actually get some sleep on.
Now we have a child seat in the back and you can actually comfortably get in and out. On that note you can keep the cab warmer or cooler depending upon the season because you don't have to have one whole side of the truck open to put stuff in the back. The seat is big enough to double as a change table or ???????????
You don't have to slam two doors when you just want some gear out of the back seat.
And for those SC owners who say that the crew cab is just too big?
To each their own. I mean I wouldn't actually say their's is too small.

It all depends on what you are going to use it for...
For me, I needed extra space for all my hunting gear and I needed to keep overall length down for manuverability when off road - hence the supercab shortbed. If it wasn't for the offroad considerations it would have been a crewcab for sure.
