Traditionally (going back to the 60s or so), a "crew cab" has meant
a truck with four full sized doors, not half doors like might be found
on a quad cab. Technically, the Quad Cab Dakota should probably have
been called a crew cab. My '01 Ram with the half doors is called a
Quad Cab. The "quad cab" is basically like a club cab except it has
half doors to make getting into and out of the back seat easier. Given
the preceeding info, it would make sense that a crew cab would have a
shorter bed than a quad cab, assuming both trucks have the same
wheelbase of course. Did Dodge rename the quad cab to a crew cab at
some point? Back in ye olde days, you used to be able to get a crew
cab truck and have an 8' bed to boot, now that was a long truck! :-)
