That's dependent on what you're doing. We've been running back and forth to Texas, picking stuff up making preparations for my aunt to move down here. The first couple times we went, we took my truck. A lot of the things we brought back were big, furniture and whatnot, that required a truck. Some of the things we brought back with us were fragile, glass, china, etc; some were things like fabrics, quilts, blankets, etc. We had to either stuff all of it into the back of my truck and securely wrap it with tarp to protect against the elements, or rent a U-Haul box trailer and stow it all away in there.

We've since traded my mom's Grand Marquis in on an '05 Expedition. Since we've got most of the big stuff that we can handle out of the way (we'll let the moving company handle the rest, or rent a U-Haul truck), now all the light things can easily be toted in the Expy. Fold the third row seats, fold one of the second, and a lot of stuff can be stowed away safely from the elements. And we've got the added bonus of putting a trailer to the Expedition if need be. Best of both worlds. But I'm a truck guy at heart.

 

Well, to be honest, I was swayed by the deal on the one I got...got a good deal because the dealer had too many scabs...What I really would love would be a reg cab V8 with 5spd manual and 4wd (which they don't make, so oh-well...). I had my last truck (1993 Toyota Pickup) since new, and wanted something new and reliable. I said I was a practical person, but I slipped. I was looking for a used Dodge or Toyota fullsize, I wouldn't have bought the older F150 at gunpoint, and I'd have shot myself before buying a Chevy.
I usually have more willpower than that, but when I saw that bright red F150 SCAB...it called to me, said "buy me...." So, I did. I hadn't even seen a reg cab before that. Buyer's remorse, I guess...wish I would have waited.

 

Those super cabs don't seem to have a lot of wiggle room:



The max speed of 3.4 mph forward and reverse would also make me have to stick with the supercrew.

And in case someone needs more information about the mods on this guy's truck:

Its all in personal preference. I have 3 ATVs, and there is no stock truck that can haul that, unless you have a flat bed on your truck and thats besides the point. I need the supercrew to haul other adults comfortably and to haul mine and/or thier ATVs wherever we want to. Thats why I have the supercrew and I am sure everyone else has their own story just like that for why they got the regular cab, supercab, supercrew, STX, XL, XLT, LOBO, FX4, Lariat, or King Ranch.

 

I looked at the Chevys when I was looking for a new truck. I'd have bought a Dodge before I would've bought a Chevy and I dont think much of Dodges.

In my opinion the reg cabs are definately the best looking body style but they just dont fit my needs. I'm married and have 2 kids so I need more room. My last truck was a 2000 Scab. It was a nice truck, but like several have already stated the suicide doors suck in paking lots. Also the backseat wasn't too impressive. I know the backseats in the new models are a lot better but I still prefer the Screw.

 

LMAO @ Goslow.

 

Spoken like someone who hasn't moved a household across town. Twenty trips beats one big one any day. Last time I moved, many years ago, I used my CJ7 with a small trailer. Load, run four miles, unload and distribute the stuff, then do it again. U-hauls and other big boxes are great for cross country. Local, you want just enough that the person(s) putting it away can getter done while you go get the next load.
The easy way to do it.

[QUOTE=Quintin]From an asthetic standpoint, I think Supercrews look kinda out of proportion, QUOTE]

i agree, the front doors are too small and the bed length doesnt match the height, kinda goofy if you ask me..

 

I've always thought that the rear doors on a SCAB were too small... kind of... well, misproportioned.

LMAO... this thread is really getting silly... isn't it?

 

Actually I have helped a few people move across town. I prefer to make 1 big trip and get it done. Loading... driving... unloading... driving... loading... driving... unloading... driving... etc... Every time people go for the ride they seem to get more and more tired. Not to mention that the more trips you make the more "helpers" seem to disappear. Also a lot of wasted time on the road. I guess it's kinda like the actual topic of this thread... It's all personal preference.

 

Not at all, I think we're just now getting somewhere...

GoSlow? Does that truck have the 3MM or the 6MM lift kit on it?

 

LOL @ Nuke... "MM" lift kit... ROFL!

 

It's the 2mm leveling kit. It appears to have some sort of ingenious rear end locker replacement "This machine has dual rear wheel drive".

Even though there's no dodge truck listed on that page, the F-150 is also better than it: "a longer body than the Dodge Ram"

 

Thanks Chris! It was in fact a lot easier. Both my house and the husband's were within 10 minutes of their apartment, so it was in fact a lot easier than using a U-Haul. Not to mention the fact that it cost nothing, it was less than 10 trips, and I don't know how you would fit a U-Haul in that parking area. I could hardly back my truck in. I had about 4 inches to spare with a pole on one side and a chebbie on the other.

 

I wish the doors were suicide on the Screws but thats probally just me.

That little guy has great taste, Westin Bull Bar and some KC Lights, but geez what size tires are those!? They have to be the new 3" Baja Claws!
