If they do, they wont have a f150 I will buy
I've had super cabs all along which give me some room behind the front seats for stuff and if needed, somebody can sit back there too.
This time around, i got a crew cab, but only because i wanted the platinum. Plus i wanted the 6.5 box, which makes this truck over a foot longer then any other f150 i had. Quite frankly, this truck is just to big for me. I WONT buy another crew cab.
Just wish ford would make super cabs available through out the f150 lineup.
I don't need my truck to be a people mover. I have a MKX to do that.

taken from motor trend's FIRST LOOK at 2014 silverado.

One major goal for the 2014 Silverado and Sierra was to improve cabin refinement, and toward that end, the door frames have shrunk so their (triple-sealed) gaps are more out of the wind for claimed lowest-in-class cabin noise at highway speeds. Extended cab models have independent-opening front-hinged rear doors, and crew-cab models get shorter front and longer rear doors to provide 4 inches of additional "foot swing" room between the seat and B-pillar.

wrong. on the 1500 they have regular cab, quad cab (extended cab) and crew (4 full size)

and the 2500,3500 you can get regular, quad, crew, or mega (which is now special order only)

exactly, not doing away with ex cabs, just making them more user friendly.

I personally HATE the suicide rear doors on excabs. it makes loading and unloading in a tight parking space a nightmare.

I'm the opposite. I like the suicide doors and haven't had any troubles with mine. If I wanted regular doors is of got a crew cab.

no problem here with suicide doors either, actually prefer them because they save me from walking past the rear door, so i can open it.

Actually thinking of selling my truck to get another crew.

I hope not. I do not like crew cabs. All of my previous trucks, and my current is a SCAB.
Like another poster said I have a car for people transport and at my age it is just the dog and I.
Whoops almost forgot the wife

EDIT: the ex cab doesnt grow, just gets rear opening doors
I meant to say going with four hinged doors
