I see very few SCab Raptors vs. SCrews

I love how many SCABs are here, in this thread!

Hell, in the greater Austin area, I've seen one other SCAB, and it had a Colorado plate! It's nice to be different!

BTW could y'all picture Ivan Stewart racing a Screw? LOL Hell no!

I have seen a few around my neck of the woods, around SW. Austin and Dripping Springs.

I doubt the "Ironman" Stewart would have been driving a Ford anyway. :) Though I'd venture to guess that a SCAB Raptor is larger inside than a Crew Toyota mini truck.

If you have kids and still have a wife, the crew cab is a must. Suicide doors and general space for junk just sucks in an extended cab. I've had plenty of them when that was all that was available, getting a real crew cab was like seeing colors I'd never seen before!

You've probably seen me. I travel in from Driftwood to the capital every day for work.

I'll agree to disagree on the crew cab. My wife and 2 kids fit fine. My 2012 SCAB fit them fine for 5 years. This one is doing just the same :)

what are you talking about Willis? Both Screws and Scabs have the same bed length >> 5' 6".

Which is why they don't sell.

Customer: "Crew cab is huge inside, but the truck has a mighty short bed. Any other options?"
Saleman: "Well, we have this one. It's a smaller cab and has the same size bed."

Unless you have a small garage, I just don't see the downside of the truck being 12" longer.

Have you not driven a SCAB? Like I said before, SCREW wasn't an option in 2011 because Ford thought it too big a compromise of offroad capability. I've driven both on and offroad, and the SCAB handles much better when you get on the throttle. I should say the SCREW is more planted in the rear, which is both good and bad, but all other handling characteristics are better in the SCAB.
