No 6th gen S/Cab?

[DukeCanBuildit]

The thing I liked about the 2019 ranger is that they had an option for a higher-trim scab, but they were almost all special orders rather than something you'd ever see at a dealer. Ford gave you the option, but grudgingly. Then, after making sure scabs were mostly unavailable for purchase they complained about the take rate.

In 2019, my scab Lariat had to be brought in from 2 states over. They are relatively rare.

The reality is that crew cab pickups are the new SUVs after SUVs morphed into crossovers. (SUVs were just the new station wagons after the CAFE standards made station wagons extinct 30 years ago) The irony is that crew cabs used to be nearly exclusively work trucks and now they're family haulers and the standard & s/cabs are the work trucks. So it's not a surprise that there's not enough demand to justify the Lariat trim on the s/cabs. A shame, but the reality.

Since it's just the mrs & I, I've really loved the s/cab layout; better use of space and the extra foot pf bed. I guess I'll start hoping that GM gets its act back together, or maybe even consider a RAM. (Ugh, unlikely, but I gotta keep an open mind)

The Lariat SuperCab was never offered to the Canadian market. I was surprised when I saw it available in the U.S.

I’m sure sales projections for the Scab were largely driven by industry data on the configuration as well as some internal figures for the F-150. I’m also sure that dealers were reluctant to order any/many because they only really wanted what they knew they could sell quickly.

I agree they have become family haulers, giving dealers another reason to stock Screws. Of course, part of me wonders if the configuration would have had more success if higher Scab inventory was available on dealer lots.

I guess we’ll never know if the sales figures are truly representative of consumer wants/needs or simply a self-fulfilling prophecy driven by dealer concerns.

I just hit 100k and normally I'd be getting a new one but I like my Supercab.
I had two Sport Tracs before but now my kids are grown and gone so I don't need a back seat and would rather have a longer bed.

I was looking for a Lariat scab, and there were a few around, but I finally found what I was looking for 3 hours away. 2020 fully loaded scab, with actually way more than I wanted. It had been on the dealers lot for 5 months and I got a smoking deal on it.

10-4. I ordered mine out, as the dealer only had XLTs and Lariats, half with Chrome packages. they had two bone XL Super Cabs. 2021 I believe was the only year that had the STX Premium package: Dual air, 8 in vs 4 in screen, and 265/60 18 wheels & tires when ordered with the FX4 pkg (FX4 is again available on the XL-STX but only with 17s).

I'm hoping the SSabs become a semi precious classic like the split window Sting Rays!

So now we are crawling through the mall, (4 low , diff. loc , curb ahead!)
and the heads they start to turning,
I see all the soccer dads stuck in their FamilyCabs,
for something cool they're yearning,
i hear them say

"That truck looks really wild now" (That trucks a Supercab!)
"No room for kids in back now" (He's single not a dad!)
"Ill bet its clean inside now " (Thats the truck i want to wed!)
"A place to put my "wood" now " (It's got a 6ft bed!!!)


She's so right , she's outta sight! ,
