2022 Ford Ranger Crew Cab Dashboard
The 2022 Ranger comes in two cabin styles- SuperCrew and SuperCab. The SuperCrew or Crew Cab variant can seat up to five people inside and has a pretty straightforward cabin design. While there is no lack of space for passengers as well as cargo, the lack of features and use of sub-par materials inside the cabin give a dreary feel. 2022 Ford Ranger Crew Cab goes against rivals like the Toyota Tacoma, Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon.

2022 Ford Ranger Crew Cab Interior Design, Dimensions, and Comfort
There is not much to say about the cabin design or quality of cabin of the 2022 Ford Ranger because there is not much to it. The cabin design is simply boring, or dull. The build quality is good; there are many panel gaps or squeaks you would hear from the bits and panels used on the inside. The use of hard plastics all around gives a rugged feel to the cabin; while this might not be fit to everyone's liking, it will not wear out over time. The infotainment system in the Ranger is just like the interior; simple and ergonomic. The 2022 Ford Ranger comes in three trims XL, XLT and Lariat trim. The best bet would be the higher two trims as the base XL trim is particularly low on features and is a better fit to be used as a work truck. The base trim comes with manually adjustable seats and steering wheel and a single-zone manual air condition system.
2022 Ford Ranger Crew Cab Front Seats
The XLT trim comes with a power-adjustable driver seat as an option whereas Lariat comes with power driver and passenger seats as standard. The base XL trim comes with Ebony cloth upholstery as standard and XLT comes with premium cloth upholstery in Ebony or Medium Stone color choices. The Lariat trim comes with leather upholstery available in the same choices as the XLT, along with a leather-wrapped steering wheel and leather-wrapped gear shift knob. Features like dual-zone automatic climate control, bigger infotainment screen are standard on both the XLT and Lariat trim.The higher roof and spacious second row provide enough comfort for passengers but a bigger cabin means the bed size reduces from standard 6 feet to 5 feet. The seats are not the best in class but offer enough comfort and support to keep the occupants comfortable over longer journeys.
