Question Extended cab

I would like some opinions on what everyone thinks, is it worth it to put money into an extended cab truck. I have done an intake and some free mods and it has made it more fun to drive but I am wondering if i am just wasting my time.

It's up to you really. Will it be as fast as a regular cab with the same mods? Probably not but will it be as fun or more fun? Could be..

I get more respect in my ext.cab 4x4 than I did in my low 11sec T/A

Definatley a lot cooler to see a fast EC than a RC that's just as fast. Big trucks that are fast are impressive. Plus, its cool swingin' the rear end around in a 19ft truck. It scares a lot of people.

yeah it all depends on your taste. I persoanlly started witht he regular cab and then bought my extended cab and like it alot more then my regular cab. the regular cab is fun but thsi extended cab is bad *** and looks slow but it's actually pretty quick for a 5000lbs+ truck.

if you're only concern is being quick - reg cab

if you (like myself and some others here I'm sure) like the extra room and all that . . . extended is worth it
