Crew cab

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Crew Cabs are an extended cab bodystyle commonly found on utes or pickup trucks.

Nissan was the first^[1] to have the extended cab bodystyle after the release the first crew cab pickup truck in North America called the Frontier in 2000. Before that, numerous compact pickup trucks came in the crew cab body style during the 1990s, such as the Toyota Hilux, but Nissan still incorrectly gets the credit. Similar to King cab, with 4 doors and more space for seating in the back (the seats are normal and face forward in direction).

Land Rover used what they described as crew cabs over thirty years ago for their special vehicles (e.g. a crane mounted on the rear for street lighting maintenance being one) providing up to six seats so the whole work crew or gang could be accommodated.
