I remember when reg cab trucks were the normal and a few had crew cabs (air force) comes to mind. Just don't see were many regular cab trucks on dealers lots. I guess the trades still use a reg cab truck.
Reg cabs are sold, but not "pushed", they are typically equipped with "fleet" type usage in mind so you won't see much sitting on the lots..
There IS much more profit headroom in upselling crewcabs and many people simply "gotta have it all" so you will find a lot more crewcabs sitting on dealer lots.
I have bought two supercabs which my local dealer did a multi state search of new inventory.. They found them equipped rather close to my wish list.. They did a dealer to dealer trade to get those trucks for me. That equaled a happy customer!
My last two trucks, the dealer was not able to locate any trucks equipped the way I wanted so we ordered exactly what we wanted.. Cost nothing extra but did have to wait 6 weeks to get built.. Still very happy customer!
