If you even think you'll be hauling more than a front seat passenger, get the crew cab. Not knocking the supercabs here. I tried a supercab before I ordered mine and had two kids in childseats then. There wasn't enough room for the seats in the back. I ordered the crew cab and have never regretted it.

Get the super cab. You can run a long bed without the truck taking up two parking spots and having a turning radius the size of Texas. Plus the jump doors are handier if its you getting stuff into and out of the backseat, and there's no pillar in the way when you load awkward things into the back seat. The back seat is only small if you trash your truck up, I had three 6+ ft tall guys ride in the back seat for 7 hours, it was only marginally worse than being cramed into a crewcab the next day for two more hours driving out to the lease.

I have two car seats. I just love my super cab now put think the crew would be easier. Is the turning radius that much different between the super cab and crew cab with both having 6 foot boxes?

They say more is better,
I've had both and like both, depends on how often will you be toating
company around, all the time, or once in a blue moon.
For me all I ever toat is my daughter so the supercab is no problem
for me.

Since it's just the wife, myself and the dog, a Super Cab works very well for us. If you have kids or a lot of stuff you don't want to place in the bed (or you want to lock it up, like tools) get a Crew Cab.

With the wife, 3 kids, and 2 dogs, my cab is FULL.. I need a crew cab. Plus I hate trying to open those supercab doors when wedged in a parking spot.
My vote is for the crew cab. The turning radius sucks anyways, what's the difference if you're jumping a curb a little further with the CC?

I love the 4 doors AND the long bed. The only time I have an issue is at the mall when you try and manuver down the narrow isle, wiggle into a parking spot, only to discover that your trailer ball is hanging out blocking traffic.

I love my crew cab I have only had it a week but I tried the supercab first I have a 1 year old and there is plenty of room for his car seat. Plus it is a hell of alot easier to climb in the back to get him in and out of his safety seat.

I have had both and love my CC LB, hell in the winter it has a plow on the front and I still go where I want with it. When my two kids have friends or we all go to the store everybody or everything can come into the cab when it is raining or snowing. Beside if (when) you need the room you have it. That's just my opinion.
Look at the spec sheets for the truck there is usually only something like 14" overall difference in length.
