Was looking at the GM site today - found GMC with Extended Cab but Chevy with NO Extended Cab.

GMC site says it's coming in 2014 - but nothing on Chevy site ...

So - I've always elected GMC even tho in essence it's the same vehicle. And personally, can't imagine buying a double cab or a single cab in a PU Truck ... it's beyond my imagination to drive anything but a X-cab SB 4x4 in a PU ...

So, anyone know what's what with this one - seems odd that a high selling style - like X cab - would be discontinued.

I remember the Astro/Safari Vans got discontinued - and I still own my 1999 Safari (200k miles) and would buy another one if it was available. But, a mini-van is too small for our wants, and a full-size van too awkward and oversize.

Wonder if I always fall in a minority with vehicles, as the styles I like the most seem to discontinue.

As PatPerry2766 says, the extended cab is now called the Double Cab. GM has made the extended cab have forward hinged doors, and now has changed the marketing name. The doors open wide, so ingress/egress is very easy. Have had two forward facing car seats in, no problems. Have had individuals up to 6 ft in the double cab, and they fit fine.

If you are looking at 2500 and 3500, there will be no extended cab on the 2014 (carry-over). The new model (2015) is expected to be out early 2014 and should present the double cab as style in the 2500 and 3500.
