Yeah, it would be nice to have Screw to be prepared for when I have a kid. Unless you can get a car seat in the back of Scab

At one point I had two in an 02 Super-cab. I now only have one in my 2002 cause my 5 yr. old is in a booster.

The 06 I have has plenty of room for baby seats. They added a little room back there so as long as you don't get some monster sized baby seat you'll be ok.

Thats awesome. I thought that the 04-up had enough room. I have trying to convince the wife to let me get a Scab, cuz it will be cheaper. She just wasnt sure on the car seat room, but I thought they would be big enough. Thanks

No problem. I think we had two Graco seats. They were roomy enough for both kids to grow into so I assume they're normal sized seats. My son just turned two years old and weighs 41 pounds and still fits in his comfortably.

Good luck on your choice!

Supercabs can come with 5.5' or 6.5' (or 8') bed lengths. Sure one could be listed wrong, but the gray one only has one picture to compare to... Unless you see it from the side, theyre kinda hard to tell apart

Both of them are too expensive.
I saw loaded '04 FX4's at dealers for $11,500 when I was looking for a truck.

I paid $14,700 for my '06 Supercab XLT with 48k at a dealer in February and nothing was wrong with it. 5.4 and 4wd.

You also have to remember the region. Its way different up here. The gray one with one pic is a nice truck. Reason I know this is ironic......I talked to the dealership and they said it had been repo'ed, and they thought from a boat dealership cuz it had some boat decal type stuff on it. That triggered something, so I thought for a minute......and remembered....that truck was my parents neighbors. The son of the parents that live there couldnt afford it, so it was taken away. He only had it for about a year and a half. He had a small camper and only towed it twice a year for a total of 200 miles. I know its a clean truck, and the goose neck doesnt scare me. A truck like this at larger dealerships around here are going for 15k to 17k.

So were trying to work a deal where I can buy the gray truck from the dealership I work at. I didnt want to go behind the dealerships back and buy from another one, so i talked to our new GM and she offered to buy the truck from the other place, and sell it to me for 500 over what we paid for it. Im hoping the other dealership will let us do that though. We never heard back from them today. But now Im out of work the next 3 days cuz Im getting my wisdom teeth pulled, so I wont know if we got the truck.
