Thanks for all the replies, I’m the OP. We are looking at buying a new truck, a one-ton this go around, and more than likely a Chevy we’ve had good luck with the one we have, but we are looking at all our options. Right now Chevy has some good rebates on 2013, but in a 300-mile radius from us they can’t find one extended cab only crew cabs. So the reason for my post was what it was like to hook up our trailer up with a crew compared to an extended cab. The other thing is we have a “Trailer Saver air hitch” which is not a slider, but is the best investment we’ve made and I want to keep it.
The Chevy has a 6-½ box; we have an extended pin on our trailer and with the edges on our trailer curved in it looks like we won’t need a slider. Some of you pointed out the potential problem with uneven ground, something to consider.
The wheelbase on a crew cab with the short box and the extended cab with a long box is about the same for the Chevy will check with Ford and Ram. The Chevy has a 36-gallon tank for both trucks, again I can’t find that info on the others in their literature so will go back and ask the dealers.
Right now with my extended cab I can see the pin to hook up with no problems so I was just curious if those that have crew cabs could see their pins.
