What are Ford truck cab sizes?
Ford's pickup cab sizes fall into three main configurations: Regular Cab, SuperCab (extended cab), and Crew Cab, with availability varying by model and year.
Understanding these cab sizes helps buyers weigh bed length, passenger space, and overall vehicle footprint when choosing an F-Series, Ranger, Maverick, or other Ford truck.
What each cab size means
The following definitions describe the most common cab configurations you’ll encounter on Ford pickups.
- Regular Cab — A two-door configuration (or a two- or three-person bench in some markets) with the shortest overall length and the longest bed available on many Ford trucks. Ideal for buyers who need maximum cargo space in the bed and don’t require rear seating.
- SuperCab — Ford’s extended-cab option: two front doors plus two smaller rear doors and a compact rear seating area. It adds usable passenger space behind the driver without sacrificing too much bed length. Common on mid-size to full-size models in various generations.
- Crew Cab (often marketed as SuperCrew on some models) — Four full doors and a roomy back seat, designed for passenger comfort. This is the most popular choice for families or work crews who need easy access to rear seating, but it reduces bed length on many configurations.
In short, Regular Cab emphasizes bed length, SuperCab balances cargo and passenger space, and Crew Cab prioritizes passenger comfort with full doors and rear seating.
Which Ford models offer which cab sizes
Here’s how the main Ford pickup lines line up in terms of cab options today, with a note that specifics can change by model year and trim.
- Ford F-150 typically offers Regular Cab, SuperCab (extended), and Crew Cab in many trims, with bed lengths ranging from about 5.0 feet to 8.0 feet depending on cab type.
- Ford F-250/350/450 Super Duty also offers Regular Cab, SuperCab, and Crew Cab, providing options for heavy-duty work fleets and families alike.
- Ford Ranger commonly ships with Crew Cab configurations for modern models, emphasizing passenger space while offering a shorter bed. Some generations offered extended-cab variants.
- Ford Maverick is sold primarily with a Crew Cab configuration (four doors) and is designed for urban pickup use with a shorter bed.
Most Ford trucks today offer at least a Regular Cab and a Crew Cab option, with the extended-cab SuperCab less common in the newest models but still present on older or specific trims.
Choosing the right cab size for your needs
Consider how you intend to use the truck—bed length versus passenger space, daily driving versus crew needs—when selecting a cab configuration.
- Bed length versus rear seating: Regular Cab often provides the longest bed; Crew Cab sacrifices bed length for rear-seat room.
- Accessibility: Crew Cab’s four full doors provide the easiest rear-seat access; SuperCab’s additional doors offer convenience with a smaller rear seating area.
- Overall vehicle length: More doors generally equate to a longer wheelbase and overall length, affecting maneuverability and garage fit.
Your use case will guide the choice: prioritize cargo space, passenger comfort, or a balance of both.
Summary
Ford’s truck cab sizes are built around Regular Cab, SuperCab (extended), and Crew Cab, with the Crew Cab being the most common modern choice for families and crews, and Regular Cab favored when bed length is paramount. Availability varies by model and year, so always check the specific configuration for the exact truck you’re considering on Ford’s site or with a dealer.
