The Ford Ranger has been South Africa's second best-selling bakkie for years. This guide covers every generation's seat cover compatibility, the differences between T6, T7 and Next-Gen Ranger interiors, and what options are available from both Kindo Covers and Escape Gear.

The Ford Ranger has long been a staple of the South African bakkie market. From the popular T6 generation (2012–2022) through to the completely redesigned Next-Gen Ranger (2023 onwards), each generation requires its own specific seat cover pattern. This guide helps you identify your generation and understand what's available.

Identifying Your Ranger Generation

T6 Ranger (2012–2018): Square, upright front grille, round headlights. The T6 was substantially the same from 2012 to 2018.
T7 Ranger (2019–2022): Restyled front end with angular, connected-look headlights. Seat cover patterns are largely compatible between T6 and T7.
Next-Gen Ranger (2023 onwards): Completely redesigned from the ground up — new platform, new interior, new seat architecture. Next-Gen covers are NOT compatible with T6/T7 Ranger and vice versa.

T6 and T7 Ranger Seat Covers (2012–2022)

Kindo Covers

Kindo offers the widest range of T6/T7 Ranger patterns:

Single Cab Full Bench (2011–2022) — covers the full bench front seat as a single piece
Single Cab Bucket (No Airbag, 2012–2026) — for bucket front seats
Extra Cab Buckets (2012–2022) — front seats only
Double Cab (2013–2022) — four-seat set covering both rows including the folding rear bench
3/4 Bench (2013–2026) — for Ranger models with the 3/4 bench front seat configuration
Ranger Raptor Double Cab (2020–2026) — the Raptor has unique bolstered sport seats requiring its own specific pattern

Pricing for the Double Cab set starts from approximately R5,582.50.

Escape Gear (T6/T7, 2012–2022)

Escape Gear's custom-tailored covers for the T6/T7 Ranger are made in South Africa using 3D scanning of the actual seat shape, then CNC-cut for precision. Available in all three fabric options:

Front row only from R5,195
Double Cab full set from R9,745

Escape Gear's moulded floor mats for the T6 Ranger are also available, with a front row mat set from R1,395.

Next-Gen Ranger Seat Covers (2023 Onwards)

The 2023 Next-Gen Ranger introduced an entirely new interior architecture. Do not attempt to fit T6-generation covers on a Next-Gen Ranger.

Kindo Covers for Next-Gen Ranger

Next-Gen XL Single Cab (2023–2026)
Next-Gen XL Extra Cab (2023–2026)
Next-Gen XL Double Cab (2023–2026)
Next-Gen WildTrak Double Cab (2023 onwards) — the WildTrak has unique sport-style seats
Next-Gen Centre Console Cover (2023 onwards)

The Ranger Raptor: A Special Case

The Ranger Raptor's sport seats have aggressive side bolsters that require a dedicated pattern. Standard Double Cab Ranger covers will not fit correctly on Raptor seats. Always order the Raptor-specific pattern (available from Kindo for 2020 onwards).

Choosing Between Kindo and Escape Gear for Your Ranger

Kindo Covers: Full range of cab configurations, competitive pricing, woven water-resistant fabric, produced and dispatched from Pietermaritzburg. Best for standard passenger and work use.
Escape Gear: 3D-scanned precision fit, choice of three fabrics (including heavy-duty canvas options), 5-year warranty on seams and workmanship, produced in Cape Town. Best for serious 4x4 use, off-road, farms and fleets needing canvas durability.

Finding Your Ranger Cover

Use the product finder: select Ford → Ranger → your year and cab configuration. All available options from both suppliers will be displayed with pricing.
