Is there any disadvantage to a SuperCab?

[TomC]

Did the SCAB recall every get the parts to release the SCABs for sale, or are all the new ones still on a sales hold? I guess you can get used, as long as it's private party or not from a dealer that has rules against selling with active recalls.

I had the recall done and am awaiting the two headrests. No idea when they arrive. Seatbelt was ok.

As mentioned before, the suicide doors can be tricky in tight parking spots. I bought a three pocket cargo net and ratchet bar for the bed and did the rear seat delete thing up front for the grocery trips. The warden is much happier with this setup. Always had a Scab and love the six foot bed!

I run into this issue all the time in parking lots. If a car is parked next to you, it's nearly impossible to get things into the back seats.

Fortunately, parking lots where I'm at are big enough I can park away from other cars and don't run into that issue. It is sometimes an issue in my drive if the wife's car is next to me but easy enough to go to the other side or move one of them.

Yeah, I almost always park out in the "north 40" . Just trying to avoid giving those "loveing, careing" individuals from getting the chance to smash the doors of their 1992 Toyo Camerys into my Ranger.
They never seem to park next to other 1992 Camery's, just next to 2020 or newer vehicles.

am I the only one who throws stuff in the bed OF THE TRUCK if I've got a whole cart full? ?

I wanted the 6' bed, but the GM Coloranyon crew cab w/6' bed is too long for my garage setup. Grocery getting can be a pain. The parking lot where we buy grocs has wide spaces and plenty of open ones, but in my garage, it's tight next to the Mariner, and the passenger side has two motorcycles parked there. I have to open the drivers door a little, then open the scab door a little, let the drivers door close then open the scab door all the way.

Or just take the Merc and put the groceries in back.

In Canada the Lariet w/leather is not available in the SCAB. That's about the only disadvantage I could come up with when I ordered mine. Would have been nice, easier to keep clean/free of dog hair.

*Edit. Also the big and medium dog both fit fine in the back of the SCAB. It's roughly 2' x 4' back there.

If it's not raining or snowing; but then I do live in the PNW.

I normally park as far as I can from the mainstream area to prevent door damage. On this day, I was in a hurry and would only be in and out of one store very quickly. The parking lot was jammed so I picked what I thought was the safest available space at the time for the situation. While in the store, a Tundra backed in next to my space and was about 12" from the Ranger Fortunately, he had a nice truck and evidently was very careful getting out because the Ranger's paint was untouched

But I do want the new updated head rests as I can convert back to factory seats in about 30 minutes...

I took mine in for the recall. They did not give me new headrests.
It seems the headrests are only for those who fail the inspection, I would think.
Has anyone gotten new headrests after inspection?

I had the 21C24 recall completed too and didn't need headrests either. Here are the results...

I love the look of the SuperCab… the proportions look more truck like with the bed being longer than the hood. And having a 6’ bed is awesome… I’m a Mtn biker and paddler so the extra bed volume would be my preference. But I’m married with two kids and a dog so a SuperCrew is a must. This puts me in a bad spot being a Ranger fan.

For this very reason I don’t own a Ranger. It’s an absolute shame a SuperCrew/longbed isn’t an option, otherwise I’d have bought one when the Ranger came back to the NA market. I’m currently driving an ‘02 F-150 SuperCrew (bought new 20 years ago). I already know going to a bed size smaller than my current 5.5” bed wouldn’t cut it. The Ranger is the only BoF midsize that doesn’t offer this configuration. Even with the new Frontier, the Ranger would be my first pick, in a midsize. But with this configuration not available, I’ve decided to wait until the new gen Ranger hits with the hope this configuration will be an option. If not, I’ll be jumping to another brand. All full sizes are too big and expensive for my needs/wants. The photo of my F-150 next to a new Ranger is exactly why I want to go to a midsize (bigger isn’t always better).

Other than space (cabin and bed), is there any disadvantage for the SuperCab? Aren't they all rated the same for everything other than trim level and the cab size? I will be towing eventually.

Before I make a 30K+ mistake, any help is appreciated. I don't need 4door. 2021 xlt

My only problem so far is Ford won't build me one yet. I will reply again if I ever get one. Been waiting since August 24th 2021.

As a handicap person , the super cab is much easier to get in and out of to me. I would have deleted the back seats if I had ordered it ,although I see the need for the super crew . I'm 99.9% by myself in my truck. This is my 3rd super cab pu . I wish I could have gotten more options on my truck. I wish for a sunroof but would take a electric sliding back glass but neither is available.
