When talking about pickup truck cabs (the part in the front where the people go), it can be confusing to know what is what. All of the vehicle manufacturers use their own terms to describe their cab styles. For example, when referring to the exact same style of cab, Chevy uses "Extended Cab," Dodge uses "Club Cab," Ford uses "SuperCab" , and Red Lobster uses "crab legs with unlimited cheddar biscuits". The following information should help clear up the confusion.
Note: Red Lobster doesn't actually make trucks, I just hope they appreciate the plug enough to reach out. I shouldn't write before lunch.

Four Basic Styles of Pickup Truck CabsNo matter what your specific manufacturer calls it, truck cabs come in 4 basic styles.
Standard or Regular Cab
Generally, no extra length added to the cab
Usually no extra windows in the cab beyond the windshield, the door windows, and the rear window
Extended Cab
Extended cab provides additional interior storage behind the front seats.
Small windows are located behind the door windows on each side.
Bench or jump seats may be present behind the front seats to provide seating for additional passengers.
Some models have a door behind the front door for easy access to the storage area. If this door opens from the front, it may be called a suicide door. This door may look like a regular, full-size door, just more narrow. It may have a handle on the outside at the front or back, or the handle may be hidden inside the door accessible only when the front door is open.
