South Efrica-manufactured Ranger.

Different truck for a different market - gotta keep pumpin those Ferd Eff Onefiddy numbers in the USA!

People complain about them not being available, then when they are, they don't buy them.

I see complaints on the Raptor forum that you can only get super crews, but no longer the super cabs. Super cab sales were in single percentage points.

The people complaining on this thread makes up about 30% of the total market for a single cab Ranger.

Preach.

The problem is they offer them for sale but then shove a ton of "features" in them in packages that make them cost nearly as much as a bigger and more capable vehicle.

RIP the little white trucks with the hat on

Reminds me of CS Napa girl calendars from the 2000s

I have been driving full size single cab SWB trucks since June 2001. They fit
in my garage and the bed size is perfect for me. Also easy to whip in and out around town without extra length. We drive the SUV when hauling multiple people. Realize I'm in big time minority niche, glad Ford still makes them!

I can't think of any practical reason to have a single cab full size truck, much less a ranger. Might as well just complain about GM not making an El Camino. As stated, the market isn't there. I wish Ford would stop offering beds shorter than 6.5' or super duties with short beds, but we can't all get what we want when the market drives the production.

You being serious? For family man daily drivers or just in general see no practical use for single cab full size trucks? Single cab full size is perfect for construction fleet trucks. All our ranch work trucks are single cab long bed 3/4 ton trucks. My first truck was a single cab F150. Trucks in that configuration make great first cars for teens as they don't have the room to haul half their class around with them, a size decent enough a teen can get around town without banging it off everything, and a bed to throw their crap into and maybe steal a kiss every now and then.

I mean, I'm 40 with 3 kids, I'm not buying a single cab full size truck anytime soon, but I can definitely see the need for the configuration.

Its not a chicken tx problem anymore. Its the EPA mandated standards that are forcing it. In short, the larger the vehicle, the weaker the standards are and therefor easier to meet.

So what we get are gigantic four door family haulers with a vestigial bed on the back.

Which is so funny because in other countries (Norway) it's not just vehicular "foot print" but also engine size/horsepower and vehicle weight that are used to calculate vehicle tax. The CAFE standards are dumb in their current form. Not a fan of regulating consumer choice but it's making a bad thing even worse.
