Now being called the 2024 Ranger, seen with extended cab and bed [NOT RANGER6G]

So I'd love to start a discussion on this, and not on Ranger6G. You RARELY see this combination on the current Colorado, even here in Iowa where Colorados are EVERYWHERE and Chevy actually outsells Ford overall. When you see one, the oddness of it really stands out. The Colorado LT/Z71 already ride so low, this looks like a limousine.

I've never even seen the Tacoma crew cab with its 6' bed option.

Even the F-150 Raptor on 37" tires looks good with a 5'5" bed, and that thing is monstrously large.

Is it being called a 2024 now in the US market?

I'll copy my post from the R6G site.

Meh not for me. If I wanted a long cab and long bed I'd buy an F150. One thing I love about my Ranger is it's size and to be able to fit in my garage. Also parking it in tight spots is a breeze.

I got the Ranger specifically to fit in my garage, so its a hard pass.

My garage is big enough for a 1/2 ton SuperCrew long bed, so that isn't a problem. But like others, the overall length (and width) of the current Ranger 5G is perfect for my needs. More is just more hassle.

I was thinking if I did upgrade to the new body style, I would move to a Supercab. I sure hope this doesn't mean starting in 2024, the Supercab option is going away, allowing them to make just one cab style and vary the bed lengths.

It would make sense, the first Jeep Gladiators were delivered in 2019 and they still don't offer anything but a crew cab and 5' bed.

I will grant you that the guys in finance probably would think the switch made sense. It probably is cheaper to have two different length frames than two completely different cab styles. Bummer if that is what it turns out to be.

In one respect, a selfish one, I hope they do get rid of the Scab then mine will be even more of a collector's item. A scab with a 6" bed minus the ugly, squat look and the same-as-every-other-truck front end

Maybe if it has a bigger fuel tank.

I won't argue that an option for the Crew Cab Long bed(6ft) would be a good idea. But it wont be a great idea if you plan to go OffRoad. Why? Simple, a longer Wheelbase wont do as well with Clearance.

Thats my input

 

[jsphlynch]

When I was shopping, the 6-ft bed/crew cab combination was the biggest reason I was considering a Colorado. The Chevy dealership didn't have any in stock and was going to have to bring one in from another dealership. The sales guy said he had only ever sold that configuration once. Clearly there is a market for it in people like me, but it's a really niche market so I'm a bit surprised to see Ford going in that direction.

I would definitely be interested in a crew cab with a 6 foot bed. I'll even take a SCAB with a 7 foot bed.

 

[myothercarizahearse]

SCAB or even better a regular cab with a 7 footer

Jeep ran market research and found something like 94% of their potential buyers preferred Crew Cab Short Bed.

This forum extremely skews reality since it's enthusiasts.

I've never seen a SuperCab Ranger here unless it was a white XL fleet truck, even then I'm scratch my head to think if that is even true.

Looks dumb on midsize trucks.

These trucks are too big as it is anyway.

 

[NotBudule]

I guess I'll have to keep this truck if everything is going crew cab , I'm the only one in my crew , I ain't driving a 4 door truck ...
