I am a truck guy and I think unless your a big outdoorsman, if you don’t wear boots to work you don’t need a truck. Bought my first truck 25 years ago.

I was using my Dads truck to help a lady move, which had an 8 foot bed (because I think that was the norm) and I was in a swanky neighborhood. A neighbor commented on how he’d never seen a bed on a truck so long before, lol!
The targeting of the pickup truck has definitely changed. They used to be for work use. Now people buy them based on tow ratings just to drive them through the local Starbucks drive thru.
I have one of these, I slept in the back seat area once. Folded the seats up, extended the flat boards, and set a memory mattress pad to lay sideways. It was very cozy and comfortable. These Ram trucks are very practical and reasonably reliable.
crew cabs are absolutely amazing for dirt bike riders. being able to store your gear and tools in the rear seat while your bike, fuel, and stand are in the bed is amazing.

I agree... As long as it still actually has a REAL truck bed on the back too... So many "trucks" nowadays, especially 4-door ones, don't even have a useful bed on them anymore for anything besides holding a few grocery bags or something, lol! IMO, anything smaller than a 2M, (or 6.5 foot) MINIMUM length bed is practically useless for actually hauling anything as a true truck! (And an actual FULL size, 8' long bed is absolutely essential if you really use your truck for any kind of actual work, like carpentry, construction, ranch use, etc. It's really all about the usefulness of the BED when it comes to determining if something is a "real truck" or not... because that's what a TRUCK is basically for, to have a useful bed to haul really dirty or rough things whenever needed, like lumber, dirt, bricks, logs, hay, etc... Creature comforts in the cab are great to have too, but storage capacity, and practical and useful cargo hauling capacity is what ultimately makes a truck a REAL truck, regardless of whether the cab is like a "luxury car", OR NOT!
Yah, I’m sorry, but none of the features he highlighted make this more “trucky”. To me truck means “can haul a big heavy thing”. The features he highlighted are “can carry lots of stuff.” Still, crewcabs rock.

If only my suburban had cooo stuff like this, the seats fold forward and that’s it lmao. But that basically makes it a longbed single cab with a canopy and nothing to separate the bed and cab
@@patjohn775 uhh the bed is still useful very well back in my day i used to have a crew cab with a full size bed on my ford ...even the short bed is extremely useful
People do realize crew cab duallys are always putting in work. The crew cab can be used to haul workers and materials. Why waste money on multiple trucks that only sit 2 people when you can have a couple of crew cabs and your workers can ride with you. Idk that’s how I see it
@The Hemwick Hag I know that some people still use pickups for work but at least 90% of the pickups I see driving around have nothing in the back and are just being used as a car lol
@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS Actually, you can. Did all that in my family's Honda Odyssey. Heck, my grandma carried gravel in her tiny Civic. The manure was the only time we used a truck, and technically, that was only indirectly, as we simply got a guy to deliver it for us.
So it’s no longer a truck because of convenience? For me if anything, it holds more equipment or holds more workers for whatever job I got. Crew cab plus 8-foot bed? That’s a dream truck.
for my halfton i like the double cab with the 6.5' bed. that way i can keep certian tools in the cab, have the longer bed and get around the same as an suv
Older, smaller pickups were actually more useful than these things. You would actually have a lot of space in the beds, and it was a time when people actually used the beds. Nowadays people just use their pickups and SUVs for commuting, only using the space in them once a year and almost never going off road. Not to mention how the old pickups were smaller, which is much better than the tank sized pickups.
if you want cargo space in your pickup there’s this thing called the bed edit: obviously there are situations where crew cabs are the best option, but the majority of the time when someone buys one it's not one of those situations and a single cab or car would be fine.
@@TheToasterPope I drive my kid in my Crew Cab Ram all the damn time. My wife has an SUV and guess what has more room? My Ram. So yes anytime we all go somewhere together it's in my truck. If you're a dumbass just say that.
Don't care how many doors it has, if it doesn't have a bed that can carry full sheets of plywood (laying flat) with the tailgate closed then it's not a real truck
That is my main gripe with modern trucks. But they also haul and tow more than ever and the high cab allows for a flat rear floor which is very useful. So utility depends on what you are doing with it.
That's why I don't understand why no manufacturer is even trying to make something low to the ground with a pickup bed, like the old el caminos. Old folks loved those cars, because you didn't have to reach up high to have access to the bed. And trucks are just getting taller and taller, won't someone please just think of the elderly?
@@jbthestoner5504 It ain't just the elderly. It's pretty nice picking up that generator to waist height to get it in the bed, as opposed to chest height. I don't mean to hate on 4x4 trucks, I had a late 80s 4x4 ford that had a fairly low bed height. Loved that truck. But the times that I want to reach over the bed and grab something far out weigh the number of times I use 4x4. I'll take a one-wheel peel S10 any day
That’s most of why I’m not lifting my second gen Ram. It’s already borderline too tall and all I did was go up a tire size but it’s still not as tall as new trucks
@@gholland5840 What about maneuverability and fatality rates? Do they increase with cab size? Are crew cab trucks less maneuverable than single cabs? I don’t think so but if you got data that says different
I'm good with my 4runner. I can tow (a reasonable amount) I can fold the seats down and camp. I can offroad like a summbitch. The engine is good beyond 100k miles. It's cheap to maintain. The gas mileage is pretty decent for the power and size. And they're excellent road machines too.
Nope, suvs aren't body on frame anymore so that reduces the payload capacity and towing capability. Plus Suvs are only comparable to 1500 trucks. 2500 and 3500 can do much more. To my knowledge the only suv from the big 3 that's still body on frame is Suburban/Tahoe. Back in the day they made 2500 Suburbans but not anymore. Both of those "suvs" sit on modified silverado frames.
@@Cw0346 and majority of people who own trucks still wouldn't need more than an SUV based off their actual uses. Obviously there will be a select few that do, but more the most part the people buying these smaller trucks could settle for an SUV and have the same suitability or better
@@keiton9512 I disagree. You lose a lot more practicality than you might think driving an suv vs a truck. Only full size suvs offer similar practicality but it still doesn't come with 6-8 feet of bed space to haul dirt, mulch, furniture, motorcycles, snowmobiles, lawn equipment. An suv with a trailer is better than a pickup but without it, it's no contest. Anything a Suv can do, a truck can do better. Except seating
@@Cw0346 we can agree to disagree. And again, you're literally giving the situation which trucks are used for. However, most truck owners don't do use their truck for that. Either way, I much rather have an SUV but that's personal preference.

Ok, I have heard this several times, and I never discredited a crew cab truck as a truck, but what is out on the market for the last 10 years or so are mostly “over glorified grocery getters”. What I am getting at is a pick-up has become a status symbol vs the work horse of the past. If you doubt what I am saying, go to any of the truck show rooms, and find a 2022 whatever 1/2, 3/4, or 1 ton truck aside from a chassis cab, that has powered steering and brakes, “manual roll up windows “, manual door locks , and heaven for give the thought of a manual transmission! If you take a serious look at the trucks of the late 60’s through the mid 1980’s,vs the “ trucks” today, I am almost afraid to put any tools in the bed because of the cost of scratched paint or damage to a modern day status symbol!
You can order them like that btw, but why would you? I’d rather pull with my 22 ram than my 78 Chevy dually because it turns the guts out of it at 55mph….

I am a truck guy and I think unless your a big outdoorsman, if you don’t wear boots to work you don’t need a truck. Bought my first truck 25 years ago. I’ve owned 5 trucks and only one crew cab with a short bed. With the short bed I got sick of always having to use ratcheting tie downs. Standard bed or long bed for me.
@@kmacnumber2 that’s all cool and understandable however with a crew can you can still get a standard bed you just got unluckily enough to have one without however that’s one of the first things I look at is if the truck has a standard bed or not

crew cabs are absolutely amazing for dirt bike riders. being able to store your gear and tools in the rear seat while your bike, fuel, and stand are in the bed is amazing.

I agree... As long as it still actually has a REAL truck bed on the back too... So many "trucks" nowadays, especially 4-door ones, don't even have a useful bed on them anymore for anything besides holding a few grocery bags or something, lol!
IMO, anything smaller than a 2M, (or 6.5 foot) MINIMUM length bed is practically useless for actually hauling anything as a true truck! (And an actual FULL size, 8' long bed is absolutely essential if you really use your truck for any kind of actual work, like carpentry, construction, ranch use, etc.
It's really all about the usefulness of the BED when it comes to determining if something is a "real truck" or not... because that's what a TRUCK is basically for, to have a useful bed to haul really dirty or rough things whenever needed, like lumber, dirt, bricks, logs, hay, etc...
Creature comforts in the cab are great to have too, but storage capacity, and practical and useful cargo hauling capacity is what ultimately makes a truck a REAL truck, regardless of whether the cab is like a "luxury car", OR NOT!
Crew cab = you can hold a full crew of passengers + keep more valuable tools in the back seat
Just use a van, like people who do actual work do.

Older, smaller pickups were actually more useful than these things. You would actually have a lot of space in the beds, and it was a time when people actually used the beds. Nowadays people just use their pickups and SUVs for commuting, only using the space in them once a year and almost never going off road. Not to mention how the old pickups were smaller, which is much better than the tank sized pickups.
yes I'd love to pay $20,000 more for a little more storage and a few cupholders "gReAt DeAl"
if you want cargo space in your pickup there’s this thing called the bed
edit: obviously there are situations where crew cabs are the best option, but the majority of the time when someone buys one it's not one of those situations and a single cab or car would be fine.

Best was the Chevy bonus cab from the 80s that was just a Dimond plate box where the rear seats used to be
Don't care how many doors it has, if it doesn't have a bed that can carry full sheets of plywood (laying flat) with the tailgate closed then it's not a real truck
They lost a lot of utility when the bedsides got too high to reach over.
Facts!
That is my main gripe with modern trucks. But they also haul and tow more than ever and the high cab allows for a flat rear floor which is very useful. So utility depends on what you are doing with it.
That's why I don't understand why no manufacturer is even trying to make something low to the ground with a pickup bed, like the old el caminos. Old folks loved those cars, because you didn't have to reach up high to have access to the bed. And trucks are just getting taller and taller, won't someone please just think of the elderly?
@@jbthestoner5504 It ain't just the elderly. It's pretty nice picking up that generator to waist height to get it in the bed, as opposed to chest height. I don't mean to hate on 4x4 trucks, I had a late 80s 4x4 ford that had a fairly low bed height. Loved that truck. But the times that I want to reach over the bed and grab something far out weigh the number of times I use 4x4. I'll take a one-wheel peel S10 any day

If you're not using it for work, an SUV is the better option 9/10 times.
Nope, suvs aren't body on frame anymore so that reduces the payload capacity and towing capability. Plus Suvs are only comparable to 1500 trucks. 2500 and 3500 can do much more.
To my knowledge the only suv from the big 3 that's still body on frame is Suburban/Tahoe. Back in the day they made 2500 Suburbans but not anymore. Both of those "suvs" sit on modified silverado frames.
@@Cw0346 and majority of people who own trucks still wouldn't need more than an SUV based off their actual uses. Obviously there will be a select few that do, but more the most part the people buying these smaller trucks could settle for an SUV and have the same suitability or better
@@keiton9512 I disagree. You lose a lot more practicality than you might think driving an suv vs a truck. Only full size suvs offer similar practicality but it still doesn't come with 6-8 feet of bed space to haul dirt, mulch, furniture, motorcycles, snowmobiles, lawn equipment. An suv with a trailer is better than a pickup but without it, it's no contest. Anything a Suv can do, a truck can do better. Except seating

Ok, I have heard this several times, and I never discredited a crew cab truck as a truck, but what is out on the market for the last 10 years or so are mostly “over glorified grocery getters”. What I am getting at is a pick-up has become a status symbol vs the work horse of the past.
If you doubt what I am saying, go to any of the truck show rooms, and find a 2022 whatever 1/2, 3/4, or 1 ton truck aside from a chassis cab, that has powered steering and brakes, “manual roll up windows “, manual door locks , and heaven for give the thought of a manual transmission!
If you take a serious look at the trucks of the late 60’s through the mid 1980’s,vs the “ trucks” today, I am almost afraid to put any tools in the bed because of the cost of scratched paint or damage to a modern day status symbol!

@@edmessina8392 yeah nothing a set of hellcat lifters wouldn't fix. Got my 2011 to 200k miles but then again maybe yours was assembled on a Friday...
@@jessesdomain444 iirc, the 11s, 12s and so on werent as catastophic a failure as my 2021. Dealer got it from me 4 times, each time claiming they could not duplicate the ticking, knocking and smoke clouds on cold start in particular but at idle in traffic under load too. It cost Stellantis a fresh crate motor, tons of labor, permanent lost customer and 90 days of rental on a POS minivan. Never again.
@@edmessina8392 sorry to hear that man. My next truck is probably gonna be a Tacoma. Plenty to choose from in Texas. Still though anything is better than a ford WITH the 5.4 triton
My first crew cab truck was a 06 Ford F-150. I was against it at first, bc of the size of the bed. But after driving it and hauling deer in the fall. It’s no problem at all

“GUNS!”

Crew cab is the only truck your wife would let you buy.
What about MEGA cab?
LOL exactly
The best option is standard cab short bed, rare these days but I love ‘em.
Might as well get a suv lol.
But it’s not a Ford F ing Ranger 😂😂😂
As long as it’s not a short bed, it’s fine.
