Which F-150 models have bench seats?

Front bench seats are available mainly on Regular Cab and certain SuperCab configurations, while most SuperCrew models come with bucket seats. Availability varies by model year, trim, and options, so always verify the exact seating layout on the build sheet or with the dealer.

Which configurations typically offer a front bench seat

The following configurations have historically offered a front 3-passenger bench seat (40/20/40) in the F-150 lineup, though exact availability depends on year and package. This layout is most common on Regular Cab models and selectively on SuperCab models; SuperCrew models are usually equipped with bucket seats.

• Regular Cab: Front bench seat is commonly available in XL and XLT trims, enabling a three-across front row on many configurations.


• SuperCab (Extended Cab): In some years and trims (primarily lower trims such as XL and XLT), a front bench seat option has been offered; higher trims tend to favor bucket seats.


• SuperCrew (Crew Cab): Front bench seats are not typically offered; bucket seats with a center console are the standard arrangement in most trims.

Note: Always check the exact seat configuration on Ford’s official configurator or the dealer’s window sticker, as bench-seat availability can change between model years and markets, and fleet or commercial orders may differ.

Fleet and commercial considerations

Some fleet-oriented versions of the F-150 may be more likely to include a front bench seat option, depending on the configuration and regional requirements. For consumer buyers, however, Regular Cab and select SuperCab builds are the primary sources for a bench-seat front row.

What this means for buyers

If you want a traditional three-across front seat, prioritize Regular Cab configurations (XL or XLT) or, where available, SuperCab trims that list a front bench option. If you prefer modern features, rear-seat space, or a more premium interior, a SuperCrew with bucket seats is typically the standard choice. Always confirm the seat layout before purchase, especially with used or fleet vehicles where configurations may differ from the original factory order.

Summary

In the current F-150 lineup, bench seating is limited to specific cab types—mainly Regular Cab and some SuperCab configurations—while SuperCrew models almost always use front bucket seats. Availability varies by year, trim, and options, so verify the exact seating arrangement for the model you’re considering.

What F-150 models to stay away from?

You should avoid 2004-2006, 2010, 2013, and 2015-2018 model years of the Ford F-150 due to common engine failures, transmission problems, and structural or electrical issues. These specific years are linked to issues such as the 5.4L Triton engine's spark plug and cam phaser problems, 6-speed transmission failures, and concerns with the aluminum body and electronic systems.

Years to avoid

• 2004-2006: These models suffered from major issues with the 5.4L Triton V8 engine, including spark plug blowouts and cam phaser failures. 
• 2010: This year continued the problematic 5.4L engine and also had frequent issues with window leaks, rough shifting, and transmission vibrations. 
• 2013: These models experienced transmission problems, particularly with the 6-speed automatic, leading to hard shifts and gear slippage. 
• 2015-2018: These years saw widespread problems, including engine oil leaks on the 2.7L EcoBoost, issues with the electronic power steering (EPAS), and a large recall for a seat belt pretensioner defect that could cause fires. The 2018 also introduced some transmission issues with the new 10-speed gearbox. 

What to look for instead

• 2009, 2014, 2019-2020, and 2021+: These are often cited as some of the better years for the F-150, particularly with the 5.0L V8 or 2.7L EcoBoost engines. 
• 2014: A solid year for reliability, especially when equipped with the 5.0L V8 engine. 
• 2019-2020: Known for improved reliability and fixes to common issues from previous years. 

Important considerations

• Always get a pre-purchase inspection by a trusted mechanic, regardless of the model year. 
• Research specific engine options within a model year, as some engines are more reliable than others. 
• If considering a 2021 model, be aware of potential issues related to major redesigns, such as electrical glitches and other build quality problems. 
• Check for open recalls on any used vehicle before purchase.
