The pickup truck has become a modern staple of the family vehicle, landing a spot right next to the minivan in many driveways. With many pickups being used as everyday vehicles, it comes as no surprise that the cab has also been evolving over time. These vehicles were often used as rental trucks for farmers and construction workers alike for projects and jobs, usually only being able to seat two people.
As pickup rentals gained more attention from the public, places such as Summit Fleet began to offer weekend pickup rentals for recreational use. More seating capacity is needed to fit a family, but how much room do you need? Many should consider the three cab sizes when selecting a pickup truck.
What is a Crew Cab vs Extended Cab?
The difference between crew cab vs. extended cab is that crew cabs have an additional row of seats while extended cab offers more legroom. Here’s a breakdown between the two:
The most expensive out of the three is the most practical. Crew cab trucks are meant to serve those who have frequent passengers and need more inside room. The crew may be expensive upfront; however, these trucks also maintain a high resale value due to their popularity. If you carry friends or family with you most of the time, it’s worth investing in a roomy crew cab pickup truck.
Because we provide truck rental services to a multitude of different industries, we made it a point to provide trucks and vans with drivers and passengers in mind. Industries like engineering, mining, construction, and pipeline are all industries that can have crew members of 50 to over 100… it just depends on the project but regardless of crew size, you can definitely count on Summit Fleet to provide your crew with extended cab truck rentals.
When traveling from job site to job site, safety is the number one concern you have and it is also our number one concern as well. That’s why we only rent out trucks with extended cab seating and 12 passenger vans that allow crew to not only travel in style but to also travel in comfort, with plenty of legroom.
All of our trucks, pickup trucks and flatbeds, have extended cabs that can seat up to six people per vehicle. That’s not only a massive truck but it’s also a truck that will get your crew to the various sites safely. All of our trucks have trucks have hitches for towing capabilities as well as heavy payloads to haul heavy-duty materials, tools, and supplies.
Did You Know?
Although we are a truck rental company, truck driving professionals have even spoken on the importance of truck interiors and they’ve stated that extended cabs are a real luxury to have. Well, at Summit Fleet, we look at our customers as the most valuable luxuries to our company so with that being said, we treat them like luxury. That’s why we provide them with trucks that have extended cabs as a standard. We truly care about the need for the comfort of our customers by only providing them vehicles with the drivers and passengers in mind.
No one enjoys riding in a half-ton pickup with no leg room, especially with a truck full of co-workers. With our extended cab truck rentals, everyone will have plenty of room to stretch their legs for an enjoyable ride.
Extended cab trucks are popular among those who want more inside storage space since the seating space has been decreased from the crew cab. If you have a few passengers occasionally, but often carry cargo inside your vehicle, this is the truck for you. With an extended cab, you can be assured of the maximum cargo space and a fair market price.
What is a Regular Cab?
This cab is recommended for the average worker who still only uses their truck for projects and jobs. With a regular cab comes affordability, as it is the cheapest out of the three sizes, but it also offers less room. These trucks are designed to transport a driver, one passenger, and the cargo in the bed of the truck, such as farming material and power tools.
If all you need is to get the job done, the regular cab pickup is the truck for you. All of our trucks, pickup trucks and flatbeds, have extended cabs that can seat up to six people per vehicle. That’s not only a massive truck but it’s also a truck that will get your crew to the various sites safely. All of our trucks have hitches for towing capabilities as well as heavy payloads to haul heavy-duty materials, tools, and supplies. The truck of your choice should fit your everyday needs, so don’t hesitate to take each of them out for a test drive before you decide on your next pickup truck rental.
