Did Ford make a crew cab Ranger?

Yes. Ford has produced Ranger pickups with a crew-cab configuration—often labeled as SuperCrew in North America—across several generations and markets. Availability varies by year and region.


Ford’s cab naming and what it means for the Ranger


Ford’s cab naming conventions


In Ford’s lineup, a four-door crew cab is typically referred to as a SuperCrew in North America. Other regions commonly use terms like Double Cab or simply Crew Cab. The key distinction is four full-size doors and seating for five or more, versus two-door extended cabs or smaller rear-seat space found on older designs.


The Ranger has followed these regional naming conventions differently over time, with some generations offering a two-door extended cab in certain markets and a four-door crew cab in others. The current global Ranger generally centers on a four-door crew-cab configuration for many markets.


Below is a concise look at how crew-cab Rangers have appeared across generations and markets.



  • United States and Canada: The current (2019–present) Ranger is sold primarily as a four-door SuperCrew with full-size doors and seating for five. Earlier US Rangers (up to 2011) offered a two-door SuperCab option with smaller rear doors in some years, but a true four-door crew cab became standard with the revived model.

  • Australia and many international markets: Four-door variants are common, often marketed as Double Cab or Crew Cab, reflecting the regional preference for spacious rear seating and larger cargo access.

  • Europe and parts of Asia: The Ranger has been offered in four-door configurations in many trims, aligning with the global push toward crew-cab practicality in compact/mid-size pickups.


In summary, Ford has consistently offered crew-cab Ranger variants in multiple regions, though the exact cab naming and availability have shifted by generation and market.


Current Ranger lineup and notable crew-cab models


The latest generation of the Ranger maintains a crew-cab emphasis across major markets. In the United States, the Ranger is built as a four-door SuperCrew with various trims, including work-focused XL and XLT and higher-end Lariat variants. Globally, notable crew-cab models include higher-performance variants and special editions such as the Ranger Raptor, which is a four-door crew cab designed for off-road capability, as well as standard four-door models across the XL, XLT, and Wildtrak lines.



  • United States: Four-door SuperCrew configuration available across trims, with options for different bed lengths depending on market and trim (bed lengths and availability vary by region).

  • Global/Other markets: Four-door crew or double cab versions are common, with various bed options and trims tailored to local demand.

  • Ranger Raptor and other special editions: Typically four-door crew-cab layouts that prioritize off-road capability and interior space.


These configurations illustrate how Ford has maintained the crew-cab Ranger as a core option in many regions, while still offering other cab options in some markets or generations.


Summary


Ford has indeed produced Ranger pickups with crew-cab configurations, primarily under the SuperCrew label in North America and as four-door crew/double cab variants in other regions. The current global Ranger lineup emphasizes a four-door crew-cab format, including performance-focused versions like the Ranger Raptor. Availability and naming have varied by market and generation, so checking local specifications is the best way to confirm exact cab options for a given model year.
