View Full Version : Crew Cab Ranger -- am I crazy?
airraidsiren Nov 09 2005, 04:28pm I was leaving the mall the other day, and I passed what at first I thought must be a Tacoma or Frontier, but as I got closer I did a double take when I saw the ford logo on the front! This was not a Sport Trac either, it looked like a fairly current (2000 or newer) Ranger, just with a longer 4-door cab. I can't find this on the Ford site, is it a 2006 thing, or is it perhaps a custom mod? I would trade in my B4000 for one of these in a heartbeat!
dross93ranger Nov 09 2005, 04:32pm Mexican? Brazilian? If so those are this websites dream vehicles lol.
tlane3546 Nov 09 2005, 07:09pm y? hasnt anyone seen how ugly the s-10's looked when they got four doors?
pinheadjay Nov 09 2005, 07:36pm i don't like s10's, but i saw an s10 4 door zr6 (some thing like that) 4x4 lifted once in tennessee (sp?) and it was awesome.
POIZON1 97 Nov 09 2005, 07:41pm yes they did make some! they are verry rare and i know its a 99 or 2000 the year they made it. there is a guy on car domain that has one its black. them things are pimp. the only one i seen is on car domain though. he has a story about it on there about makeing verry lil of them. some one search and find it and post it up on here
rwenzing Nov 09 2005, 07:48pm 4-door Rangers are very common everywhere in the world except the USA and Canada where they were never sold. People who live in the southern US border states see Mexican 4-doors quite often.

Have you ever seen a Ranger 4 door? you should do a search I think they are sweet.
airraidsiren Nov 14 2005, 10:30am Thanks! I did a web search, and sure enough photos of these are easy to find, and mostly on mexican websites. I suspect the one I saw probably came up from there also. Here you go:

playa86101 Nov 15 2005, 11:27am I was wondering the same thing

basa820 Nov 15 2005, 02:54pm I don't like the 4 doors. I think the ranger ext cab looks alot better than the 4door.
BigChaz Nov 15 2005, 05:29pm Theres actually like two or something that were from one of the plants in the States. They used them for security or maintnance at the plant and i guess it closed and they got sold off
4Bangin96 Nov 18 2005, 04:00pm I saw one here in FL a couple of months back. It had Mexico plates. :thumbsup:
Nice lookin truck btw. Looked just like the ones we have here, except 4 full doors. The ranger can pull it off too, doesnt look funky like the s10
yorkranger84 Nov 18 2005, 07:16pm yeah this was posted a few months ago for an engine i think it was a 2.9 turbo desil, might be wrong about the turbo part. it think if i was going to get a 4door i would get the explorer one though
FenderBender537 Dec 22 2005, 02:45pm Apparantly they're really popular in other parts of the world, if you do a google image search on Ford Rangers, you get a ton of results that are pictures of 4 doors. I think I've only seen one here though (Oregon) and I'm pretty sure it was a mod. I tried asking the owner about it but I think he was drunk and couldn't really answer any questions. But I like the regular extcabs a whole lot better.
Fat Sam Dec 22 2005, 03:17pm Yeah, those things are seen quite a bit down here in Laredo! Some dude usually stops by the place I work at and he said they run for about 15K in Mexico! Not bad for an '05, huh?
basa820 Dec 22 2005, 11:22pm isn't our money worth more than mexicos? if yes the ranger would cost alot than 15k
DannyK11 Jan 15 2006, 10:14am i don't like s10's, but i saw an s10 4 door zr6 (some thing like that) 4x4 lifted once in tennessee (sp?) and it was awesome.
liek mine but lifted??? ima lift mine soon
derekxec Jan 15 2006, 11:20am they look cool and wow if thats 15k mexican money then they would only be $1,900 lol that would be nice
JDugan4859 Jan 15 2006, 12:21pm isn't our money worth more than mexicos? if yes the ranger would cost alot than 15k
A fully loaded 4 door Ranger costs $15,000 U.S. but its for a reasson. The saftey standards are about the same as what we had in the 80's, as well as the engines. Thats why they are not sold here.
1997_Ranger_XL May 07 2006, 08:30pm i wonder if there is any possile way to buy one in mexico and bring it back here. I dont know if you would be able to regester it in america if it was just bought there. I would fly into mexico and drive one home.
313ranger May 10 2006, 06:08pm (2 ) one sport trac copper and the other elec red , 4 door ranger siteing, on the way to work today near the ford proving grounds, 2006 with the badge in the middle and square mirrors, one 4 x 4 the other alot lower, the stance of a colorado sport with lo pro tires, the lower one looked SWEET!!!!
oh and they both where in camo with manufac plates, i smell sometthing fishy.
DONNIE~
JDugan4859 May 10 2006, 08:10pm They have used them as plant security trucks for a couple years.
dustinscott80 May 10 2006, 09:22pm just give me a damn cab Ford, that's all i ask
Rararanger May 11 2006, 01:29am To me 4 fullsize doors really takes away from the truck. The truck just looks to long, kinda like what dodge did the srt-10 Ram w/ a Quad cab and an auto trans. By the time I have kids and they are old enough to drive, they won't know what a 2 door 5 spd truck is.
pHLEa May 11 2006, 02:04am they are not rare they are made over seas may be rare in u.s
1Low3.0 May 11 2006, 02:18am How hard would it be, to buy one in Mexico or wherever and bring it back? :thumbsup:
Ranger4x41998 May 12 2006, 05:38pm You could buy a Sport Trac, remove the Sport Trac badges and put Ranger badges on it instead - and there u got a crew cab Ranger.
E4Ranger20 May 16 2006, 02:26pm i don't like s10's, but i saw an s10 4 door zr6 (some thing like that) 4x4 lifted once in tennessee (sp?) and it was awesome.
yeah it starts with a ZR somethiin lol, that was my 2nd choice before i bought my ranger. they looks great lifted
SanityAside May 16 2006, 10:10pm i found a ranger club in Brazil a few days ago.
