Ford ranger super cab are amazing- I've Had my 03 plate a while now and all she's ever needed is a glow plug and a good service.

I did 600 mile the other day with 2 passengers, and the guy in the back just sprawled out sideways and slept the whole time so no complaints of him.

As requested here's some pics of my ranger. It's an 05, bought it around 18 months ago with about 80k on the clock. Cost me 4k. Came with a truckman, but I never use it and should probably sell it.

Please excuse the mess inside, it's been a long week.

I can fit my Lucas mill and all I need for a days milling plus a helper in/on it. That was my main parameter when choosing a truck. You wouldn't get it all on a double cab.

Had an 07 Ranger Supercab for the last 3 years. Great machine. Just crap reverse gearing.

Kids are 12 and 13 and travel in it fine for short distances. Had three adults in there a couple of times for half hour journeys to the airport - they survived!

Fold up the rear seats and my climbing kit and tools stay clean and tidy in there.

It had a Mountain Top lid when I bought it, which is easy to remove. Ladder rack behind cab, so ladders tie to that and to the back of the lid.

All the saws, fuel and rigging kit fit in the loadbed, Jameson poles, rakes etc sit diagonally fine.

It works for me.

Would like to get a newer version, but for some strange reason Ford don't offer the Supercab with the 3.2 litre engine, just the 2.2 which to me seems to weeny to do a lot of towing.

Nice photos muttley thanks. Lovely little truck. That's exactly what I'm after!

 

The supercab does makes sense and like you say as long as it's not a silly long journey then an extra groundie can hop in the back should you require it.

 

My mind is well and truly made up.

I had a navarra king cab then a ranger double cab, I'd never go back to a king cab.

It's neither fish nor fowl.

 

 

I'm getting a king cab, I need more load space but being 6' 6" I can't fit in a single cab for more than 10 mins, so for me it's both fish and fowl
