Pickup Truck Cab Styles

Access cab Toyota pickup truck

When talking about pickup truck cab styles, it can be confusing to know what is what. All of the vehicle manufacturers use their own terms to describe their cab styles. For example, Chevy uses "Extended Cab," Dodge uses "Club Cab," and Ford uses "SuperCab" when referring to the same type of cab. The following information should help clear up the confusion.




Notes:

  • Mitsubishi models will be added soon.
  • Not all model years for each manufacturer are included below. Manufacturers occasionally change the design of a particular model - for example, door handle placement may vary. Your particular vehicle may not match the pictured vehicle exactly.




Four Basic Styles of Pickup Truck Cabs

No matter how many names they go by, truck cab styles come in just 4 basic types.


Standard or Regular Cab

Standard cab Chevrolet pickup truck
  • Generally, no extra length added to the cab
  • Generally, no extra windows in the cab beyond the windshield and door windows


Extended Cab

  • Extended cab provides additional interior storage behind the front seats.
  • Small windows are located behind the door windows on each side.
  • Bench or jump seats may be present behind the front seats to provide seating for additional passengers.
  • Some models have a door behind the front door for easy access to the storage area. If this door opens from the front, it may be called a suicide door. This door may look like a regular, full-size door, just more narrow. It may have a handle on the outside at the front or back, or the handle may be hidden inside the door accessible only when the front door is open.



Full 4-Door Cab with Backseat

  • Full-size rear doors allow easy access for passengers
  • Full-size windows in the rear doors
