2009 Ford Ranger XLT SuperCab 4Dr

In a departure from the XL and regular XLT SuperCab trims, the 2009 Ford Ranger XLT SuperCab 4Dr, as its name implies, offers rear “suicide” doors and a pair of rear jump seats as standard equipment. The rear-hinged back doors, though unable to be opened independently of the front doors, make entry and exit much easier for rear-seat passengers. Curiously, skid plates are also standard with the rear-wheel-drive ’09 Ranger XLT SuperCab 4Dr. All other appearance, comfort, and convenience features mirror those of the entire XLT line.

The ’09 Ranger XLT SuperCab 4Dr departs further from the ordinary XLT trim level in offering the 207-hp, 238-lb-ft/torque 4.0-liter V6 as standard equipment. The V6 still comes with the standard five-speed manual transmission, but the five-speed automatic with overdrive is also available.
