There's trailered boat storage at our local lake, mostly used by racers who own boats not conducive to being left in the water at the marina. At least half their trailers have some deficiency as bad as this, which makes you really scratch your head when some of them disappear for winter, clearly the owners hauling them home for winter over roads and highways.

Extended would be a supercab (with the pint sized back seat). That is what I have. Crew Cab is the full 4-door style

Don't the extended cabs have 4 doors now (as opposed to the suicide rear doors)? I see a lot of 4 door trucks where the back doors are about half size.

There are three different "extended cab" designs, which have become somewhat common among the major makers:

1. The original "extended cab", with the suicide half doors. These have become pretty uncommon in recent years, due to issue with having to open front door to access latch for rear door. Usually seen with 6.5' bed on standard 140" wheelbase, or even shortened wheelbases.

2. Quad cab: Four forward-opening doors, but rear doors are smaller. Can fit a 6.5' bed on a standard 140" wheelbase.

3. Crew cab: Four forward-opening doors, with full-size rear doors. Requires step down to 5.5' bed length on standard 140" wheelbase, or jump up to the longer (149") wheelbase to fit 6.5' bed.

There are three different "extended cab" designs, which have become somewhat common among the major makers:

Four, if you count the original "extended cabs", which didn't have any rear doors (well, at least they were fairly common at the time). I think Ford and Dodge had them in the 70's, not sure about GM.

Ford called this a "Supercab" in 2004:

Ford still does. Standard Cab, Super Cab, Super Crew, is the pecking order.

Oh Ford...

What Runner posted above is what my 2023 Ranger has. Partial Suicide rear doors = "Supercab". I really wanted the 6' bed and very rarely need room for more than one passenger. Yeah the terminology varies by mfgr but "Crew Cab" seems to be pretty common for the most common full 4-door cab these days.

That body style is getting harder to find as manufacturers phase it out. GM no longer offers it, I'm not sure about anybody else.
On a similar note I saw a new Tacoma last week. Apparently Toyota told their engineers to design something so ugly it would make an Aztec look good.
