Does the Supercab rattle?
Hey, looking at my options next year when my lease is up on the current ride. I've been driving Supercrew and/or 4-door SUVs for a while. I'm thinking about going back to the Supercab style pickup next year because my family is shrinking as the kids are older now.
I was wondering how the cabs are holding up on the newer Supercab models. Since there is no B-pillar, the older generation trucks would develop rattles and sticky latches over time. Do you guys find that the Supercabs are pretty quiet and solid these days?

I'm in the same boat, I want a new crew cab 8foot bed BUT my kids are now 14 and 16 so I no longer need the crew cab. Was thinking about a ext cab 8foot f150 since their towing and payload has improved greatly and for what it cant haul my two 10k trailers will take care of. PLUS it would be nice to have a cushy ride instead of the brick I drive now. LOL
But the ext cab noise, rattles etc scare me also

Mr 2015 with 26,000 is fairly quiet. Guess there will always be some level of noise. Look around for some used ones and take a spin to hear for yourself.

2016XLT with 20K miles. No rattles or other problems.
Update for anyone interested. The truck now has 43K miles and is still rattle and trouble-free. BtW, this is the second SC of this series, neither of which had any issues.

I found a SWEET deal on a used 2018 Supercab 4x4 with the STX package, 3.5L Eco, 10 speed and only 7,500 miles on the truck. Unfortunately I'm not quite ready yet as I still have some time left on my lease. But I miss my pickup truck and I'm very likely going to be heading back to the Supercab configuration this time.
I noticed that the Supercab F-150 has more headroom, more hip room, and virtually identical leg room compared to a Crew Cab midsize truck/SUV. So I'm not really losing any interior space, should work just fine. And the longer bed without making the entire truck overly long will be nice.
Thanks guys. Appreciate the responses.

I think they've done a decent job addressing the rattle issue in recent years. My dad has a 2010 that does not rattle, but as he's gotten older he drives less, and the truck doesn't even have 50 K on it yet.
Would keep me out of a SuperCab is the reverse swing doors. Every time I get into the backseat of my dad's truck, I shake my head wondering why he couldn't be like the other manufacturers with forward-facing rear doors. The Ford SuperCab is the only extended cab I would not consider as a result. My boys are five and nine, and while the extended cab has plenty of room for them, they would struggle with the doors. My '17 Pacifica has power sliding doors, and I'm a bit spoiled with easy access to the backseat.
I'm looking hard at the truck market right now, though. I will likely need to tow more in the future, and I really miss my F150. All brands are on the table, though, and right now you get a screaming deal on a '17+ Titan with a 100k bumper to bumper factory warranty and relatively bulletproof powertrain. I've always liked my Fords, but money talks…

For those of us that use the supercab rear seats for storage these doors are perfect. I agree that for passengers they may not be the most convenient doors. In my two decades of owning supercabs I think I have had maybe six times that I carried a person back there.
