2018 Ford F-150 Lariat cab availability and differences 

We should also mention that while the 2018 F-150 Lariat only comes standard with 4×2 configuration, upgrades to 4×4 operation (with available Four-Wheel Drive capabilities) are available! In addition, the Lariat comes in three main cab styles – Regular Cab, SuperCab, and SuperCrew.

The Lariat’s three cab designs each offer different advantages, however, which all have to do with the way their doors are configured. With the Lariat’s Regular Cab, you’ll only get a single bench row with seating for three passengers. On SuperCab and SuperCrew models, however, you can seat up to six passengers with two sets of doors, though only SuperCrew cabs will offer both doors of the front-hinging variety.
