Regular Cab rear doors
Hello,
Looking into a new truck, and I just realized that the new regular cabs actually have rear doors! I thought it was cool that they added the extra room but then to give access through doors is way cool. My question is, does anyone have this? Do you think it's decent room (i'm comparing it to a supercab ranger)? or is the space still useless? Thanks a lot for your help.

Yep I have them. Really not as cool as you think. You still have to move the seat up to get back there, but there is some pretty good room for a standard cab.

The room is awesome, i love it. But no matter what in any reg cab you will have to move the seats foward to access everything. The only reason i would advise staying away from a reg cab or supercab is the doors flex really bad on terrain with lots of bumps or groves in the road. But on street you wouldnt know.

yep, i am currently looking at a true blue reg cab, was also wondering about the space behind the seats....i figured if i put everything (minor tools, flares, blanket etc) in a black gym bag etc, well the stuff wouldn't be moving around or sliding under the seats....someone on here complained that it took no time for things to slide under the seats from the space behind the seats.......sure beats what reg cabs have had for room in the past...if it didnt cost 2-3 thousand more for a supercab i would probably go that route...those supercabs look so long i think.........lol

When I went to buy my truck, I was stuck between a 4.0 Ranger Extended Cab 4x4 and the Regular Cab 4x2 F150.
I went with the F150 because I love the room behind the seat. I have a toolbox behind the seat to hold all my tools,straps,tow rope,jumpers.ect... The tool box is about a 12" tall and 20" long. I also have a shotgun behind the seat. I think it is really a large step foward in the truck bizz to actually make use of the area behind the seat in regular cabs.
My truck is a 5.4 XLT Swb. It looks just like KCSport's truck. The grey color is great. I gave a little over 23,000 for mine too.
Great truck.

I love the rear doors on my regular cab, and don't even really mind moving the seat back forward. What irritates the hell out of me is that the STX seats don't have the seat back release mechanism that "remembers" the last position on the seat. Drives me nuts..... Even my hunk of junk Geo Metro had this feature, you'd think a $25,000 truck would have them. Is it just me that's bothered by this?

I doesnt really bother me moving the seat alot. I have to move the seat alot anyways because when my girlfriend drives it, she scoots the seet far foward to reach the pedals. I drive with the seat all the way back.

; and that totally eliminates all the room behind the seats. I have to admit, 2-3 K for a scab is no tmuch of a difference, unless your poor like me. I agree with you, the scabs look like longbeds even if they arent. ANd the real longbeds, look out! Land barge coming through!

Im 6' 1". I drive with the seat all the way back. There is plenty of room. I could sit closer to the steering wheel, but I dont like being that close the the air bag. I want to be far away from it because I seen one in action one time in a low speed parking lot crash. The airbag broke the man's nose that it went off on.

Stuff does slide under the seat. I bought small plastic containers to put tow ropes, spare sweat shirt and stuff. The tubs don't slide anywhere. My hard plastic gun case fits behind the seat of my STX reg cab. Hunting season is not far away, that was the first thing I tried to put behind the seat. Now I can keep stuff in the cab.
