regular cab blind spots
ok i understand the versatility of having 4 doors on a regular cab, but to me it seems to make trying to look out the passenger side nearly impossible. the door pillar is very wide, then the passenger side headrest seems to block most of the other window, and the part where the rear door hinges is also wide. and trying to turn my head to see on the driver's side isn't much better. those headrests seem to block alot of view.
anyone else have similar complaints or nuissances with this?

Get a set of those Trailer Tow mirrors...I have my convex parts adjusted so I have ZERO blind spots, and only turn my head far enough to look out either mirror. I wasn't very fond of them at first, but I love them now.

I stepped up to an '08 F-150 regular cab from a '94 regular cab Dodge (hence the user name that I should change) and noticed the bigger blind spots due to the pillars, head restraints and the taller box sides. I really like the four doors, the taller box and the blue oval and I'm using the rear view mirrors a lot more. As I "look back" at the Dodge, I have NO regrets!!!

ya i wish that these trucks had those old triangle mirrors in the A pillar as i believe it is called because the whole mirror assembly can get in the way and make a motorcycle almost impossible to see.... or whatever is there...sure would be nice to have those vent mirrors on these trucks...but ya the blind spot mirrors are the way to go or the trailer tow mirrors

think the reg cab has blind spots? try a Screw. Honestly though, after my Mustang, I don't notice blind spots in the truck. Just give it a few months and you'll never notice them
