Just make one. Buy an ex cab and put a 4-cyl in it.

The 2.3 extended cabs are still available for 2011, but you can only get them in the 2 door extended cab, not the 4 door. I don't believe the 4 cylinder was ever available with 4 doors.

They still make them. They just aren't as popular as v6 supercabs.

I had a 2000 ext. cab 4cyl. 5 speed for my first ranger, what ive noticed is that alot of people dont advertise the 2.5L/2.3L as they would a 4.0L, if i were you i would scan craigslist at least once a day and buy a trading post..

I've seen them on the new car lot. But all of them come with automatic's. 
I personally drive a 96' Ranger with the 2.3L, supercab, 5spd manual. Took it on a 500+ mile trip exploring Oklahoma on Monday. Besides those tiny rattles in the cab that come from age and the gutlessness of the 4cyl, she did alright by me. The 96' Blazer, thats another story. Can't turn my back for a minute without having something else break.

I remember looking for a Duratec 2.3L 2wd super cab a few years back and found out that Ford didn't offer that trim level during the 02, 03, 04, and 05 models years. Thinking back, gas was really cheap in the early part of last decade so I'm guessing Ford didn't see many customers asking for that specific trim level at the time. Nevertheless, I'm presently pretty happy with my 95 2.3L Lima in the super cab/2wd/manual flavor.

I've seen a few 98-00 4 door ext cabs with the 2.5.
i dont recall seeing a 01+ 4 banger 4 door tho.
