King cab vs Crew cab?

Crew cab with the long box. Not only the most practical and useful, the long box is the better looking. The 4-door truck's appearance is proper with the long box. The crew cab short box is stumpy and unbalanced looking.
 
I traded my 2011 KC cause it absolutely sucked for kids/passengers.

Where I live the SV comes in CC LB so you get the full sized bed with four doors. You also get a strange looking truck with the turning radius of a semi.

The turning radius of my CC/LB has never bothered me, I plan ahead and drive accordingly.

But, why do you say strange looking? As I said before, the CC/LB looks proper and balanced, architecturally speaking.The CC/SB is out of balance to my eye, more like a mid-sized SUV that had its roof removed. Like that hybrid Ford Ranger-Explorer thing they had out for a few years (not to that extreme, though), which provided what, about a 40" or so "cargo box"? Ish.

My philosophy with my Frontier purchase was to buy all the basic utility it could provide, and that meant 4wd, 4 real doors and seats, and all the bed length they made. Anything less, for me, was a sacrifice. And undoubtedly, it looks the best. ;)
 
But it won’t be a Nissan that their actually interested in.
And a full size CC truck won't fit in my garage. It did 15 years ago ('04 Silverado CC, 6' box), but it would not today with my other storage requirements.
