Facing the driver is an instrument panel that's easy to use and convenient. Ventilation is handled well, instruments are easy to read, and all controls are within reach and work logically. There are plenty of places for odds and ends and the clever cupholder doesn't get in the way of any controls.
Behind the driver is a bench seat that takes three, but they'll be happier if the trip doesn't cross too many state lines. The rear seat flips up, leaving a nice, flat floor for stowing an ice chest or tool box. Not all extended cab pickups offer the convenience of flat floors in the rear, and stowing a tool box in one with curvy floors is a real hassle.
The third door increases versatility and enhances access to the rear for tossing in things or giving access to passengers or pooches. It can't be opened unless the regular door on that side is opened first, a logical safety feature. The third door is one of those features of modern life that has caught on in a big way, like the fourth door on minivans, and now we can't imagine getting a full-size extended cab pickup without it.
