Don't have kids but I got the crew cab, way more room. Had a friend in the back the other day, he's 6'2" and he had lots of room. Should be better for resale in the future also.
I would most likely go with the Crew, just seeing if I could get away with the Quad. Does not seem like the right thing in my situation though.
I actually looked up interior specs on Edmunds after I posted here. The Quad cab has almost exactly the same amount of legroom as my Mazda but it has more hip, shoulder and headroom. Obviously the Mazda is a compact car so it's apples to oranges but the rear area of a Quad cab seems like it could get pretty cramped with two rugrats in car seats which is what I am trying to get away from.
Never thought I'd consider buying a modern, diesel crew cab pickup but I need something that hauls my Duster from time to time and gets decent enough mileage for daily driving. I drive at least 120 mi./day. The Ecodeisel seems to fit the bill.
Anyone else have any experience in this situation?
