Cars24 has 4 cab chassis for sale, priced from $10,790 to $23,790. A cab chassis ute is a work ute for sale without a fixed tub. You get a bare chassis behind the cab, so you can fit a tray, canopy, service body or tipper to suit the job.
Available in both manual and automatic variants, it mostly runs on diesel and a few 4x2 models come in petrol. A 4x2 is enough for sealed roads and a 4x4 adds grip for farms, worksites or rough tracks.
A single-cab ute gives you the longest tray, since there's no back seat to work around. A dual cab ute fits a family or a crew, but the tray gets shorter and the carrying capacity drops once people are in the back seat.
Ford Ranger cab chassis models are among the most popular on Cars24, alongside HiLux, D-MAX, Triton and Colorado. Compare the year, kilometres, engine, fuel, transmission, drive and cab, then check the seller before you buy.
Model | Current price range | Best suited to |
$21,890 - $23,790 | Buyers who want a diesel cab chassis with a choice of single or dual cab. A 4x2 Hi-Rider suits formed roads, while a 4x4 makes more sense for muddy or uneven access. | |
$10,790 | Single-cab tray work. Petrol WorkMate versions suit shorter road jobs, while diesel 4x4 versions are better matched to heavier use and rough access. | |
$15,090 | Trades that mainly stay on sealed roads but still want the extra clearance of a high-ride chassis. The single cab also leaves more room for a tray or service body. | |
Buyers after a simpler GLX work vehicle. The 4x2 covers regular road use, while the 4x4 is worth considering for farms and difficult worksites. | ||
Road-based delivery, maintenance or trade work where a long tray and two-seat cab matter more than passenger space or low-range 4WD. |
A cab chassis lets you set up the back for the job you have. You might need an open tray for pallets and landscaping gear, a service body for tools or a canopy to keep equipment dry. If a listing shows a fitted body, check that it comes with the vehicle.
The tray, passengers, tools and accessories all count towards the weight the vehicle can legally carry. A steel tray, canopy and toolboxes can leave less room for cargo than expected.
A single-cab ute usually gives you more tray length. A dual-cab ute adds rear seats but leaves less load space. A 4x2 is enough for most sealed-road work, while a 4x4 is useful for farms, mud and rough access.
Before comparing cab chassis for sale, check the carrying and towing limits for the exact version. The right one is not simply the biggest or most powerful. It is the setup that carries your people and equipment without adding weight or four-wheel-drive hardware you do not need.
The engine, cab, transmission and drivetrain can change what a cab chassis is suited to. Check the exact version when comparing cab chassis for sale.
Used cab chassis | What changes between versions | What it offers | What to check |
Cars24 sales included the PX-generation XL and some XLT versions. The mix covered single and dual cabs, 4x2 Hi-Riders and 4x4s, mainly with 2.2 or 3.2-litre diesel engines. | A single cab leaves more room for the tray. A dual cab adds a rear seat, while a 4x4 is the version to consider when the work involves mud, steep tracks or rough access. | Confirm the engine, cab and drivetrain. Check the tray mounts, rear springs, towbar, gearbox and 4WD operation. | |
Most were single-cab WorkMates. Buyers had petrol and diesel engines, manual and automatic gearboxes and a choice of 4x2 or 4x4. | Petrol 4x2s can suit shorter road-based jobs. Diesel versions may suit buyers covering more kilometres, while a 4x4 is worth considering for difficult access. | Look at the chassis, tray mounts, cooling system and rear suspension. Check the service history and watch for signs of overloading. | |
SX cab-chassis versions came as single or dual cabs, low or high-ride 4x2s and 4x4s. Manual and automatic gearboxes were available. | A single cab gives you more tray space. The High-Ride 4x2 adds clearance without the weight and running costs of four-wheel drive, while a 4x4 is better suited to rougher ground. | Check the diesel service history, DPF use on later versions, clutch or automatic, rear springs and tyre wear. Confirm that the fitted body is included. | |
GLX versions included single and dual cabs, 4x2 and 4x4 drive and manual or automatic gearboxes. Nearly all were diesel. | A single cab provides more tray length. A dual cab makes room for a crew, while the 4x4 adds low-range access where fitted. | Inspect the tray mounts, rear suspension, underbody and added wiring. Test the clutch or automatic and every 4WD setting. | |
The Navara cab-chassis vehicles sold through Cars24 were RX single-cab 4x2 manuals. The current listing has the same basic layout. | Two seats and a longer load area suit road-based work where carrying equipment matters more than carrying a crew. The 4x2 layout also avoids the extra weight and maintenance of a 4x4 system. | Check the clutch, diesel service history, rear suspension, chassis rails and tray mounts. Look closely at the towbar, tyres and any added wiring. |
Do not let a tidy cab or low odometer settle the question. A cab chassis can spend hours idling, tow every week or carry a load on corrugated roads without covering huge kilometres. Work through the vehicle in this order:
Match the service history to the engine and kilometres.
Inspect chassis rails, tray mounts and the underbody for rust or cracking.
Check rear springs, tyres and brakes for load-related wear.
Look at the towbar, trailer plug and wiring.
Test 4WD and low range where fitted.
Find the body builder’s plate and paperwork for any GVM upgrade.
Check rear-seat space and child restraints in a dual cab.
GVM is the highest legal loaded weight. GCM is the highest combined weight of the vehicle and trailer. Use the figures for the exact cab, engine and drive. A PPSR check can identify money owing, written-off records or stolen status.

A verified dealer listing needs a slightly different read. Start with the tray or service body: confirm who fitted it, whether it is included in the advertised price and whether the dealer has the relevant compliance documents. Warranty, delivery and return conditions come from that dealer, so the vehicle page matters more than the badge beside the model name.
Finance can change the actual cost of a work vehicle quickly. If you explore Cars24 Finance, look past the weekly repayment and compare the deposit, interest, fees, loan length and final amount paid. Approval and terms will depend on the application.
In plain terms, the ute already has a tub and a cab chassis doesn’t. It gives you the cab and frame, then a tray, canopy or service body is fitted behind it. That’s why two vehicles wearing the same HiLux or Ranger badge can be quite different once you walk around the back.
Prices for cab chassis for sale on Cars24 currently sit between $10,790 to $23,790. Have a look at what’s fitted before deciding if the price is fair. A decent tray saves you buying one later. An old steel body with rust around the mounts may be worth very little to you.
A single cab ute gives most of the vehicle’s length to the tray. Good for long gear, bulky loads and jobs where nobody travels in the back. A dual cab ute carries the crew, although the tray is shorter and the passengers use some of the payload. Rear comfort varies more than you might expect, so sit back there before deciding.
Quite possibly. A 4x2 covers most sealed-road driving, delivery runs and suburban trade work without carrying the added weight of a 4x4 system. The case for 4x4 becomes stronger once the vehicle regularly deals with paddocks, mud, sand or poor site access. Occasional gravel roads alone may not justify it.
Yes. Its weight comes out of the payload before you add tools or materials. The driver, passengers, bullbar, towbar, canopy and toolboxes count too. This is easy to underestimate on a vehicle that already has a full work setup, so get it weighed if you’re unsure.
Have a proper look underneath. Tray mounts can crack, rear springs can sag and a towbar can show years of hard use even when the cabin presents well. Ask what the vehicle used to do, then compare that story with the tyres, brakes, service records and general wear.
Some can, within the limit of the exact version. A Ford Ranger cab chassis may have a different engine, cab, gearbox or drivetrain from the one quoted in an advertisement or review. Check its own GVM, GCM and towing figures, then allow for the tray load, passengers and tow-ball weight.
Only eligible Cars24 Select vehicles go through the Cars24 inspection and come with the support shown on their listing. Verified dealer vehicles sit under the dealer’s terms instead. One last check, whichever seller you choose: is the body behind the cab included? A tray or service body can be a valuable part of the deal, and the photos alone don’t always settle it.
