Nissan was the first to drop a regular cab option entirely when the 2003 Frontier became King or Crew Cab-only, and the 2004 Titan followed suit. At the time, it was seen as daring, but now it's oddly prescient. The 2nd gen NA Frontier didn't get a regular cab, but its global cousin the Navara did, with a long 7.5' bed to boot.
The American market in 2021 currently has only to pickup truck models that come in regular cab/short bed configuration. Those two models being the Ford F150 and Ram 1500, neither of which would be considered “compact by any metric. GM, Toyota, Nissan, and Honda do not offer a Regular cab/short bed on their respective models.
There are two ways to make a mid-size regular cab, and neither one makes sense for the US market. The first is to do like the global mid-size pickups do, and make a regular cab/7.5' bed specifically for commercial fleets, on the same wheelbase as the extended cab/6' and crew cab/5's. This works for other markets, as they don't have full-size ...
ADMIN MOD • Most “Upfeatured” Reg Cab Within the last 10-15 years, where was the cut off for “upfeatured” regular cabs? I’m talking leather or heated seats, etc. Were they always exclusively work trucks, did some people value comfort as well or was that exclusively for Extended cab and up?
XLT is the second-lowest now that they have so many luxury trims on top, but in terms of volume it's a plurality of sales, and it's the highest one can get a regular cab in (aside from those rare Lariat regular cab F-150s in '97-98 or SDs in '99). I agree that this isn't an excessive truck in any sense.
The regular cab with a premium interior trim is very popular in the Middle East. It’s ideal for taking em on the weekend dune bashing with the shorter wheel base. I’m not sure why they don’t offer better trim Levels on regular cab models in the U.S.
The extended cabs of that era are 10" longer than regular cabs (which is to say the combo of ext cab/short bed vs reg cab/long bed). Slightly longer wheelbase, and slightly wider turning radius, but for most driveways it has never made that much difference.
I have a 2014 Tacoma regular cab, and can say if you drive by your self a lot you'll be fine. A tool box in the back or a tonneau cover of some kind for groceries bags and such. Having the sliding window right there is also really nice. In the reg cab three people will fit just fine as long as you like the person in the middle.
It makes sense, vast majority of the regular cabs are sold to fleets, which would order the XL trim as well as the long bed. Only Ford, Chevy, and GMC even offer a regular cab anymore. Also the Ram 1500 "Classic", but not in the current-gen Ram.
Pretty much any regular cab truck would have more space than one. You learn to become very creative with what you can get at stores and how you pack it. You could also get one of the bed covers that roll up to the cab and stay there and out of the way when not needed.
