Do they make two-door pickup trucks anymore?

Two-door pickups still exist, but they’re increasingly rare in today’s new-truck market. For most buyers, four-door crew cab configurations dominate dealer inventories and buyer demand.


As the market has shifted toward larger interiors and versatile passenger space, the two-door format—typically a Regular Cab or a two-door extended cab—has become a niche option. This article explains how the landscape looks today, which models still offer two-door variants, and what buyers should consider if a two-door layout is essential.


Understanding two-door configurations in today’s market


Two common cab layouts


In modern pickups, two-door options generally refer to Regular Cab models or two-door extended-cab variants (often called Access Cab or King Cab in various brands). These layouts are designed to maximize bed length or payload at the expense of rear-seat accessibility. The result is a split market: work-truck buyers may find Regular Cab options, while mainstream consumer models favor four-door cabins.


Current availability in new trucks


Availability varies by model year and market; if you specifically want a two-door pickup, you should check official configurators or contact dealers for the latest trims and body styles. The following describes the general pattern you may encounter in recent years:



  • Regular Cab or two-door extended-cab layouts persist in some full-size pickups as base or fleet-oriented trims, often paired with longer beds.

  • Mid-size pickups have largely moved to four-door crew cabs; two-door options, when present, are rare and tend to appear only on older stock or special-order programs.

  • Regional differences exist; some markets may have different offerings due to local demand, regulations, or fleet needs.


Concluding note: If you specifically want a new two-door pickup, your best path is to confirm current trims with dealers, consider special-order options, or broaden your search to the used market or fleet inventories where Regular Cab models remain more common.


Buying tips: what to consider if you want a two-door


Practical considerations


Here are practical factors to weigh when pursuing a two-door pickup:



  • Cabin space and rear-seat access: two-door configurations provide less passenger space and access, which can affect daily usability.

  • Bed length and payload: many two-door setups emphasize bed length for cargo at the expense of interior space.

  • Total cost of ownership: base two-door trims may omit popular features or come with higher maintenance costs if they’re rarer in your region.

  • Used market opportunities: if a fresh two-door option isn’t available, the used market or fleet surplus can offer Regular Cab or two-door variants.


Guidance: If a two-door layout is non-negotiable, be prepared to search beyond the newest models and to verify cab configuration precisely at the dealership before purchase.


Summary


Two-door pickups remain in limited, niche roles rather than as mainstream offerings. Four-door crew cabs dominate new-truck inventories for passenger comfort and resale value. For buyers who specifically want a two-door, expect limited new-model availability, with better odds in the used market, fleet programs, or through special orders. Always verify the exact cab style with the dealer before committing to a purchase.
