Alpo Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I have a two door. The seat back leans forward, giving you access to three or four inches of storage between the back of the seat and the back wall of the cab. I just wondered if a four-door, two seat truck does the same. Does the back seat's back lean forward giving that extra little bit of storage, or did they decide that you've got an entire back seat for storage, and don't need that extra four inches?

sassnetguy50 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Most of mine have over the years, some have fixed backs and the butt of the seat flips up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennessee Trapper Tom Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I’ve been driving extended cabs for the last 30 years. Every time I see a regular cab, they look odd to me unless they are pre 60s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I have a 2015 F-150 and the bottom of the seat flips up and there is storage there. There is also a latch behind the seat so you can fold the seat forward and access the small amount of space behind the seat. With so much room in the back seat area, I've never found the need for the 4 inch behind the seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I drove an extended cab Chevy for 12 years. The seats on the rear would fold up for extra storage, but I hated the"suicide" doors on the rear. In 2017 I opted for a "crew cab". The rear seats also fold up and I keep all kinds of stuff there. The bed is a short bed with a camper top on it. It's got all the bells and whistles of a luxury SUV but with a really big trunk! Great vehicle for long travels. I don't think I could ever go back to a "regular" cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. James H. Callahan Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I have a 2005 Silverado crew cab. Not really designed for storage behind the rear seats. The passenger side will fold down if you jump thru a couple of hoops. That's where the jack and tire tools live. JHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubious Don #56333 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Hm. I still miss my two door no back seat 85 F150. But. I have had two door, two and a half door and four door trucks over the years. Once I had a four door truck, I'll never settle for anything less. Unless I find an old two door Ford I like. Then I'll have one more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabez Cowboy,SASS # 50129 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 my 2005 Chev. is a 4 door with a 75 inch long box . That is as short as I will go or it's just not a Truck. Lot's of storage under the rear seat. Jabez Cowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I can’t abide a short bed. My old F250 V10 might be getting a camper top in the future if I decide to go Walkabout. Full bed makesth3 camper more commodious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cholla Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 I have had four extended cab trucks since 1993. None had space behind the seats. All had space under the seat. My Jeep Gladiator actually as a box feature so items stay in place. It's big enough for shovels, rope, guns, snake tongs, hiking poles, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a brand new Impala. Stupid mistake. Looking for a four door Tacoma, simple four door, four cylinder, two wheel drive utility go-to-the-hardware store light truck, but they are selling for more than I paid for the fully outfitted Impala almost exactly two years ago.....and there doesn't seem to be any such thing as a used one in this entire area.

ShadowCatcher Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 I've been driving a RAM 2500 Crew Cab with 8 foot bed since 2015, wouldn't own a truck with a shorter bed, and the crew cab is pretty handy when you take a few friends along, or just want to throw a few things in the back and be able to lock them in (unlike a bed, even with a cover). The rear seats fold up, and then have a drop down deck to provide a smooth flat deck in the rear, as well as hidden storage beneath the floor mats. There is no room behind the rear seats though, they're secured to the back bulkhead. Only complaint I have about this rig is that since it's 4WD, and rigged for towing as well, it rides high, and as my missus and I get a bit older we're finding the climb to get more tedious. Sooner or later we'll trade for a lower seat height but that's still a few years off. SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I don't want a four door, because they come with either a short bed, or are so damn long, I would be the guy trying to make a three-point turn at a U-Turn green light. I value a standard size bed more than four doors. I'm all good with an extended cab, as long as it has a full length bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
