Difference waste wise between king and double cab?

[Carl1991]

Hi all, I'm looking to get my first pickup, I'm a father of 2 (2yrs 5yrs) so will need pick up with seats on rear for occasionally picking up both lads.

Question is, how much difference waste wise between say a navara d40 or ranger etc between the two cabs? I've read they are both 1500mm roughly long double cab and around 1700mm king/super versions.

Does that extra make a massive bit of difference?

Also- how high would you recommend the chip back to be? I was thinking along the blueprint of the high top truckman tops.

Thanks

I've just bought an 08 plate Ranger with the Supercab, I picked the Supercab over the Double cab as the wheelbase is shorter but the bed length remains the same at 6'.

The Supercab has a heavier load and towing capacity then the Double and with the suicide doors it makes it easy to use the back of the cab for storage if required, especially with the fold up rear seats.

I love mine.

Exactly what I am looking at, or the mazda equivalent as they seem to be lower miles. Looks ample space in the back for my eldest car seat

Here’s my super cab ranger, it’s surprising how much chip it holds when filled to the top.

How do you empty it?

That’s the only thing I have to fork it out but it doesn’t take that long

I have a hilux extra cab, and can fit both my boys car seats in the back and they are also 2 & 5 yrs old so am also doing a school/nursery runs in the mornings

That's spot on. Thats the sort of thing I'll be doing. I want a super just for that extra bit of space, but need the seats. Thanks

That's good to hear! I rarely pick them both up but occasionally I have to get my youngest. Was worried about the seats but that's sound
