regular cab towing

I'm an old fan of regular cab trucks. I now tow a light-weight 7,000 lb, 5th wheel with a Ram 2500 crew cab and 5.7 Hemi, which proved to be a good match.
My wife likes the regular cabs because she finds them easier to drive with the improved visibility through the rear window. I like them for the same reason and also for the longer bed without a very long truck length. Other than us two we travel with a 14 lb mini dachshund.
Our next truck will in all likelihood be a regular cab. Does anyone else have the same idea?

I grew up with "regular" cab trucks, my Dad always bought regular cabs.. But back in the 1970s-80s there wasn't much choice..

While a regular cab can be nice, I have found that like a few other posters a "Super" or "extra" cab is a real nice compromise over the larger 4 door crew cab.

Even for two people, not having the cab rear window in my back makes for a very pleasant drive. The extra space allows one to move the seat back further when no one is in the back seats..

Long trips we can sit a small cooler behind the seats also.

We also tend to flip the rear seats up and put our groceries and any other purchases that we don't want sitting in an open bed when shopping.

An Super or extra cab with 8ft bed will still be shorter than a 4 door crew cab and you can easily see out the rear window easily.
