Who has a regular cab truck?

[shafer22]

Its not a real truck unless its got a 8ft bed.All of my trucks have always been reg cab with 8ft bed.

mine too

You couldnt give away a long bed regular cab down south. Cant even find em on the lot except in white with vynyl interior and manual windows. Ive drove quite a few and its like parking a locomotive. Takes 8pt turns to get into a spot.

I have a 2000 Ford Lightning (flare side 6 1/2 foot bed) and I love it. Tows a Champion 201 very well, easy to park, gathered many show trophies and runs low 12's at the track.

I think I can make it work. Wish I could get away with a Tacoma or something smaller but don't think I can. Man those little trucks hold their value.

Don't give up hope, I bet a Tacoma could handle a Hobe, maybe not for cross country highway trips but in town should be alright, just be careful braking

Some great responses with a to to think about, thanks everyone (except Enforcer...).

One of the responses mentioned grandkids and it hit me. Both of my grandfathers had regular cab trucks whenI was a young child, and I loved riding around in them. Some great memories. This thread has been like therapy

Here is the truck I am falling in love with. Of course it's more than I will ever need, but that's the story of my vehicle buying history

2017 F350 6.7 Reg Longbed.

I think a Tacoma would work for the most part. I have heard people not using th ebed extender to bring their Hobie's to local lakes without issues, but I would probably get a bed extender. I need to go test drive the trucks I am interested in.

Thanks again everyone for the input.

I say go big or go home.

Because it's built and sitting there

I custom ordered my 2015 F350 KR and it was a painstaking process to get it. The truck was built in two weeks of ordering but took another 4 weeks for delivery. My dealer even called Ford and offered to pick it up and was denied.

the 250's are out there. a lot of times the dealer wants to sell you what they have in stock rather than locate another truck.

I've tested a 350 vs 250 for a work truck, the 250 definitely rode softer. either way I'm sure you will enjoy

I've owned both in the 6.7 powerstroke and there is a bit of a difference for sure. Of course my 2015 F350 was a King Ranch so the seats were comfortable as all hell. Since the regular cabs are XLT at max only, I'm sure I will feel more. Need to test drive some trucks for sure. I appreciate your assistance, as well as everyone else on here.

Nice looking rig Clearlake

Hard to find reg cab long bed trucks any more. (aside from corporate, no option, vehicles).
I've been looking for a long time.. for an 09 or newer Ram 2500, std cab, 8ft bed, 4wd, diesel...wrecked. Just not many to be found.

[n2ratfishin]

The Taco will be much easier to run around town in unloaded while that beast Ford will be a bunch easier to load the boat in...choices!

Good luck in your search. I owned the last year 5.9 Cummins (2007) Ram 2500 quad cab SB and it was a hell of a truck. Great mileage as well. Not very sophisticated interior so I traded in for a 2011 F250 6.7 crew cab SB that was decked out. I lost about 3k in ownership on that Ram it was so wanted the dealership had a list of people to call. Probably should have sold it outright.

I'm going to go drive both and go from there. The Taco's hold their value really well, but I would like to get a truck that I can drive until the wheels fall off; I just have issues holding onto vehicles. Either would probably do the job and then some. Decisions, decisions.

Problem with the Taco's and others is your always looking up at the real trucks!
