I just got screw Ecoboost and ive never been happier with my desision. I was going to go with the scab but then i sat in the screw and so did my dad. We are both big guys, and we had room to spare. I just road triped it down to florida, and my family was fighting who sat in the back seat. If you can afford it, I would definatly go for the supercrew

When I was shopping, I debated this same decision.

I chose the SuperCrew with the 6.5" bed because it is like having two vehicles in one - a full size car with plenty of cabin room for 5 adults, and a full size pickup. With all the creature comforts inside the cabin, it hardly seems like a truck. To me, its the best of both worlds.

Plus there is more interior storage.

Go to a crowded store parking lot with a SuperCab and try to load your purchases in the back seat area. Then it will become clear which cab might work best for you

Supercrew. No question about it. I considered both and then I saw the cavernous back seat of the Screw and the decision was made for me.

We all make choices based upon our needs and preferences. It sounded like the OP was on the fence and I was offering some info that may help him make up his mind. I've owned 2 SuperCabs and I like the body style very much but in a parking lot the rear suicide doors are a pita for passengers and cargo.
I'm afraid to even mention that heated seats were on my shopping list too

If I had the $3,000, I would have bought a Super Crew with 6.5' box instead of the Super Cab 6.5' box that I bought -
But even the SuperCab has a fair amount of room in the back seat, not the huge back seat of the Super Crew, but still enough for 3 adults to sit comfortably.

It depends on your needs. I bought a supercab because I honestly can't remember the last time I used my back seat. I use to drive a vw jetta and beleive it or not, the supercab has more back seat room. I figured if a jetta served my needs a supercab will be more than enough. Plus the 3.7 only comes in the supercab with 4x4 so that was another reason. I like the sportier look of a supercab too.

I did my research and gas is the same for both. Won't make a difference.

gas mileage will be negligible... until your co-workers find out the amount of comfort and space there is in the supercrew. At that point factor in another 2-3 adults at 200lbs each and you are going to start seeing why I drive the supercab for mileage
