Four Doors
I'm in the market for a new pickup. GM's models
are impressive but missing the fourth door. Will
the Silverado and Sierra have four doors in 2000?

If you need the super cab with 4 doors, take a look at either the Dodge or Ford. You may be pleasantly surprised.

Since I got my Dodge Ram I no longer have to hear "I get door!" every time I load up with teenagers. And when I was shopping for a new truck, I took them with me to have them give opinions on the back seat. All agreed that there was plenty of room in the back, and they'd rather have the extra door than a couple of inches of leg room.

It is next to impossible to park a truck that size in a parking garage without hogging extra space.
As for house garages, the most typical garage built this day and age is out to out 22 ft. in length. Subtract 1 ft. for door and two walls and you have to literally bump the back wall to get a crew cab in.
I'd say you are right at the upper limits of practicality for crew cabs. I don't think they were intended for non-commercial general out and about use. The x-cab pushes the upper limits for non-commercial out and about use. Size is no accident. They can't get any bigger and function.
I pride myself on never taking up two spots. What really ticks me off is watching people in small cars park right on the line, or slightly over, into other spots. I find that folk with larger vehicles are a lot more careful about the way they park, and their lane position while driving for that matter.
Oh -- when I was in a house it fit into 1/2 of a standard suburban garage just fine. I'm in an apartment now, with an assigned spot, and have never had a problem taking up more than my share. Even things like drive-thrus aren't that big a deal -- you just need to drive more consiously than some folk in smaller cars do. With a little planning that becomes automatic (in the same way that driving a stick does) its really no big deal.
Davydd -- try driving one for a month and then comment on it :-)
coming out with a crew cab with a very short bed in
the 2000my. Same as the one on that ugly little
Nissan Frontier coming out at the same time.
Is this a trend that Chevy will follow in the near
future? Regardless of the usefullness of that
very small bed, I think Ford is doing this to take
away the reasons why people don't buy crew cabs in
the first place ("doesn't fit in my garage") and to
take away some braggin Chevy is doing about it's
larger cabroom in extended cabs. In this day of
child carseats, I will buy whatever fits my family
comfortably on those long campertrailer vacations.
At first I wanted the Chevy for this reason, but
it sounds like Ford may open up a whole new
catagory of truck.
It sounds like Chevy may be coming out with that
fourth door to little to late! At most it will
only be a footnote in next year's model offerings.
(If indeed that is when it is coming out.)
