Purchased a few weeks ago. Lariat with trailer package, running boards and bed liner.
We picked ours up last week. Silver XL 4x4 with FX4 package, towing package, bed liner. We'll be adding NERF bars/steps and air bags/cradles as soon as they become available in the aftermarket. Next week we're replacing the factory Hankook Dynapro ATM tires with higher-rated Falken Wildpeaks. (We had paid for the LT tire upgrade, but it turns out the LT Hankooks are only C-rated 6-ply tires, hardly what I'd call an LT upgrade.) We'll be installing a new Four Wheel Camper on it next week, so we needed beefier tires.

Seems to have very nice road handling, quiet and relatively smooth suspension. Handle bumps and spring potholes without jittering around on the road like a stiff-suspension truck might.

Waiting for them to build the cap and Bedmat for this little truck. It works well for fishing but needs the cap.

That is the nicest ranger I've seen yet!
I have to say, I really like the look of the supercab. I wish they would have offered a 6' bed with the Crew Cab.

I always thought the Super cabs with the long beds look better, I need inside storage otherwise I may have gone for a super cab.

One thing I don't care for is the reverse-opening rear door. PIA to unload a basket of groceries in the back

That’s one of the reasons I wanted the SCab.
I think suicide doors would be great on the CrewCab.

Oh hell no LOL..rolling a cart full of groceries past the front door just to open the rear is not better than just rolling up to the back door and opening it without juggling the shopping cart...

While I find the Coupe better for my overall needs than the Sedan ...
The Coupe is also better for access with stuff.
Advantage Coupe!

However...

I have a rule...
The rear seat passenger is not allowed to operate the rear door on the Coupe.
The driver is required to let them in and out.

Reason?
I have seen too many times on trucks with suicide doors when the front passenger has shut the front door first, then the back seat passenger slams the rear door against the front.

That can cause serious damage.
Advantage Sedan!

Either way, one advantage outweighs the other. For me and my passengers the overall advantage goes to the Coupe.
The grandkids all love the Mustang , but it is much easier to pick them up with the Transit Connect.
The "TC" also stands for Taxi Cab!:giggle:

ooh...another thread to show off my Supercab :D

looking at some of the pics here I do kind of wish I could have talked the dealer into swapping the 18" wheels the truck came with for the 17" Magnetic wheels
