What is a crew cab?

A crew cab, also known as a double cab or dual cab in some regions, is a type of truck cab configuration that features four full-sized doors and two rows of seating, allowing for comfortable accommodation of up to five or six passengers. This is in contrast to regular cabs (which typically have two doors and one row) and extended cabs (which may have small, rear-hinged doors and limited rear seating).

Key characteristics of a crew cab include:

• Spacious Rear Seating: Provides ample legroom and headroom for rear passengers, making it suitable for families or work crews.
• Full-Sized Doors: Rear doors offer easy access to the back seats, eliminating the need to squeeze through smaller openings.
• Shorter Bed Length: To accommodate the larger cab, crew cab trucks often have a shorter bed length compared to regular cab or extended cab models. However, manufacturers sometimes offer a longer bed option alongside the crew cab.
• Versatility: Crew cabs offer a balance between passenger comfort and cargo-carrying capability, making them popular for both personal and commercial use.
• Higher Price: Generally, crew cab trucks are more expensive than regular or extended cab versions due to their larger size and increased features.
