Trucks come with all kinds of cab options. They may have mentioned something about this cab or that cab at the dealership when you bought it, but who can remember now? There are so many different styles and every make seems to have a name of their own for them. Was it a Quad Cab? Or is that just for Rams? Super Cab? Standard Cab? Access Cab? Don’t worry, we’ll help you figure it out here!
Chevy
If you drive a Silverado or a Sierra, whether 1500 or 2500, these are the names Chevy has given to it’s cab styles:
Regular Cab: Three seats up front, no back row, two doors. The classic truck design.
Double Cab (or Extended Cab pre-2014): This cab has two regular-sized doors and a three-seat bench up front, plus to quarter-sized doors and a back row of seating. So it technically seats six but that would definitely be cozy.
Crew Cab: The biggest cab Chevy offers, the Crew Cab has four full-sized doors plus some extra leg room for the back row.
Ford
If you drive any truck from Ford’s F-Series or a Ranger, here’s what you need to know.
F-Series Regular Cab: The basic! Two doors, one three-seat bench.
F-Series Super Cab: The next size up, this version has two access doors on the rear that open at 170-degrees. There’s no center pillar when all the doors are open.
F-150 Super Crew: Super Crew on the other hand features four full-sized doors and a roomy interior cab. This name is only used on the F150.
F-250 and F-350 Regular Cab: For the bigger Ford trucks, the largest cab size is called the Crew Cab. It has two full-sized doors and a spacious interior.
Ram
Whether it’s a Dodge Ram, or simply a Ram, 1500, 2500, or 3500, this is what it’s called.
Regular Cab: Two doors and a bench seat, as simple as it gets.
Quad Cab: Only available on the 1500, this option has some rear access doors and a cozy little second row.
Crew Cab: This option is available for all Ram trucks and features four full-sized doors and a more spacious second row.
Mega Cab: Only available for the 2500 or 3500, Ram’s Mega Cab features four extra-long doors for one of the most spacious cabs on the market.
Toyota
If you’re trying to identify the cab style of your Tundra or Tacoma, you’ve found the place.
Regular Cab: Only available for the Tundra, this cab features two doors and a one-row bench.
Access Cab: Only for the Tacoma, this cab has a second row with 60/40 access doors. The second row here would be a bitter fit for kids than adults.
Double Cab: A four-door cab. On the Tacoma, it’s four full-sized doors with a spacious second row, but on the Tundra you get two smaller rear doors and a more compact second row.
CrewMax Cab: CrewMax is the name of the Tundra’s extra-large cab. Four full-sized doors allow for plenty of legroom in the back seat.
Nissan
If you drive a Titan or a Frontier, here’s what you might call your Nissan cab style.
King Cab: With no “regular cab” options available the smallest Nissan cab on the market is the King. This cab has smaller access doors for the back row, where flip-up seats occupy a space that’s better used as cargo storage than passenger seating.
Crew Cab: With four full doors Nissan’s Crew Cab features two seats up front and a bench in the back for a total of five seats.
