2021 Chevrolet Silverado Crew Cab vs. Extended Cab

2021 Silverado Crew Cab vs. 2021 Silverado Extended Cab

If you’re on the hunt for a new Chevy Silverado truck, you might be comparing the crew cab vs. extended cab. Both are common options around Hudson, but the real difference depends on how you use your passenger space and cargo room. Compare the crew cab vs. extended cab with Sawyer Chevrolet, Inc., then browse our inventory of new Chevrolet trucks with the cab option that best suit you.


Extended Cab

When work around Saugerties prioritizes the cargo capability with the occasional passenger, drivers should look at a Silverado with an extended cab, or double cab. The extended cab on a Chevy truck tends to be contained size-wise as a way to give drivers a boost in hauling and towing power.

Taking a look at the crew cab vs. extended cab, the extended cab tends to have available seating for up to five while the crew cab usually seats up to six. However, whether drivers are loading up the crew or the family, this second row space gives drivers the room they need to comfortably accommodate passengers. Add in the ¾ rear door for easy access to the rear row, and conveniently carry passengers along with all the equipment and supplies needed.

Crew Cab

Drivers who like to stretch out and pack in the supplies will appreciate the spacious passenger room in the crew cab without having to sacrifice cargo space. When debating between the crew cab vs. the extended cab, drivers will find the most spacious option on a Chevy truck tends to allow seating for up to six and features a full rear door for seamless access. Cargo capability is highlighted in the crew cab similar to the extended cab, but with the added cabin space.

Since this is a larger truck, some drivers may take time getting used to navigating turns and terrain around Windham. Those familiar with larger Silverado truck handling will find there’s nothing like a crew cab truck for the tough jobs on the worksite. Crew cab models tend to be the most expensive models, but are the most finely styled and filled with a host of innovative features.
