It depends what you all do and what you haul in your back seat. Any reason why you dont want to keep your 5.2. Those 5.2 with the 5 speeds are bad ***!!

I personally want a 4 door so down sizing may be a pain.

I prefer my club cab over a single. Little less clostraphobic, and gives me somewhere to throw crap when I have a passenger (i also work out of my truck, so...)

im 400lbs and its not horrible but it would be a lot nicer but its still not bad, switching to a regular cab might take a little time to get used to
