I'd say neither and go buy a Super Duty.   ;)  :tup:

Depends on what you want it for.  Is the back for hauling stuff you want dry and secure?  Kids?  Small to medium size dogs?  Adults? 
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

Go with the crew cab. The mega cab just looks god awful. If you really want that much rear cab space then buy a mini van.

Gonna put full sized passengers in the back seat? If so...mega cab. Passengers, adults anyway, don't fit in the back seat otherwise.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

To a point i disagree...

Im 6'2 and 245lbs i fit comfortably in the back seat. But when im in the back its usually behind an adult that is 5'9".

4 large guys and your going to want the mega cab

I've owned both and would only buy a mega cab.  My three daughters in the back of the crew cab were constantly kicking the backs of the seats.  The back seats of the mega cab all so recline some what so there more comfortable.

Do you like bed space? If so get a crew cab.
What would life be without the thrill of the hunt?

i have the 08 tundra, i beleive she came stock with 383 horse, somethn close to that anyways, it has the 5.7 v-8 she has tons of power an halls balls, and she still gets 17 to 18 miles to the gallon, which is damn fine for a v-8 with that kind of power maybe it was 283 stock horse, idk, not really a motor guy, but the truck is awesome, i do however wish i still had my 76 f250 4x4 factory high boy she was a beutiful truck, dark ford metalic blue, damn i miss her  :'( :'( :'(

Sorry but I don't consider that way better gas mileage as my 10' dodge crew 5.7 hemi at 390hp gets 15-17mpg on the highway.
