Ford ranger, which one?...

[adam_coverdale]

Need some help people's.

 

Looking to procure a ford ranger for about £3,000 to £4,000 but don't know which one to go after, either the super cab or double cab. Obviously the super gives me a bigger bed but the double gives me better room in the back. The main problem I got is I'll have to put 2 car seats in the back for my boys currently 3 and -1 month!! and am unsure if the super cab will be 2 compact in the back??

 

Thoughts and feedback plz.

There's nowhere near enough room in the super/kingcab for kid's seats and all their gear as well.

 

gotta be a crew/double cab, hope this helps.

I have an 07 Super cab and whilst I love it and it suits my needs down to the ground, I think you would struggle putting child seats in. Especially as the seats in the back are not so much seats as squabs, if you know what I mean.

hi mate I have a king cab and I can fit my 3 year olds seat in but I know you wont fit a rearward facing seat in. Crew cab me thinks:001_smile:

rear facing are a tight fit in a double cab, you will need the passenger seat pretty far forward, so you won't stand a chance with a king cab.

I have an 04 supercab and a 5 year old and 3 year old go in the back for the short school run a couple of days a week.

There's not much space for a childs seat with a back but a booster seat without the back is ok. A rearward facing car seat wouldn't fit so reckon you'll need the double cab.

I have an 00 supercab and it's totally unsuitable for babes that age and all their seats/clutter...

Likewise. Great arbtruck, but it only works for me as my kids are 10 and 11. Just checked the garage in case I could have trial fitted booster seats for you, but unfortunately the missus has ditched our old ones.

Thanks all for the responses so far. Anyone got any info on mpg? How much to fill up a tank and likely road tax costs??

 

Many thanks,
