I've always liked the extended cabs because you can put things like speaker boxes and floor jacks behind the seats. But, I do agree that 4-door trucks are a bad idea. If you need that much space, get a van!
In my opinion, its regular cab or nothing. Anything more its just a girl truck. If you want room for speaker boxes, buy boxes made for trucks or make your own. If you want room for garbage you have a 6-8 foot dumpster behind you all the time. Use it. And diamond plated toolboxes look nice if you need tool space. Just my opinion though. Don't get me started on those little 4 foot boxes....I feel very strongly about this subject.
I've got an '02 regular cab that I love. I dont consider the '04 F-150 regular cab truck a true single cab, since it's got 4-doors. I know the regular cab F-150 outsold it's supercab counterpart for years, up until a few years ago. While at the Ford dealer this morning getting the oil changed, there were still a few '04 F-150 "Heritage" regular cabs left over. Once they're gone, thats it.
I got a regular cab - I need a full 8 ft bed for hauling hay, silage, cordwood, etc. and I don't want to have to do a 37 point turn in my driveway to turn it around! I wouldn't mind a little more room inside to keep somethings dry, but hey, you can't have everything.
And since I usually buy used trucks, right now it's great for me as the regular cab trucks do have less resale - low resale works for me as a buyer, and since I drive 'em until they can't move anymore, it doesn't hurt me much as a seller. But I can see a day coming when a regular cab will be such a rarity it'll probably cost MORE!
