How long is a Country Squire?

Most Ford Country Squire station wagons run roughly 210 to 220 inches in overall length, with the exact figure depending on the generation and trim. There isn’t a single fixed length for the model across its long production run.


Across decades, Ford produced several generations of the Country Squire, from early wood-paneled designs in the 1950s to the LTD Country Squire variants of the late 20th century. To determine the precise measurement for a specific vehicle, you need the exact model year and body configuration.


What determines the length of a Country Squire


Length varies mainly because the model evolved through multiple generations, each with its own wheelbase and exterior styling. Other factors can add inches to the bumper-to-bumper measurement, including fascia design and optional equipment.


The following list identifies the primary contributors to length variation across the Country Squire lineage:



  • Generation and platform changes that altered wheelbase and overall footprint

  • Bumper design, fascias, and front/rear end styling that extend or trim inches

  • Optional equipment and configurations (roof racks, tow packages, and rear hatch setups) that can add to overall length

  • Production tolerances and model-year differences that produce small measurement variances


For a precise number, consult the official specifications for the exact year and trim, or measure the vehicle directly.


How to find the exact length for a specific Country Squire


Use these steps to determine the exact bumper-to-bumper length of a particular car.



  1. Identify the exact model year and trim level of the Country Squire in question.

  2. Look up the official Ford brochure, owner's manual, or factory specification sheet for that year.

  3. Check reliable automotive databases or Ford's historical archives for the published overall length.

  4. If needed, measure the vehicle from the outer edge of one bumper to the opposite bumper edge to confirm the figure.

  5. Cross-check against multiple sources to account for minor variations or aftermarket modifications.


Note: Some regional specifications or dealer-installed options can yield slight differences, so verify with the specific VIN or build data if precision is critical.


Summary


The Country Squire has long been Ford’s flagship full-size wagon, and while most examples fall in the 210–220 inch range, the exact length depends on generation, trim, and optional equipment. For a precise measurement, reference the model-year official data or measure the vehicle directly.
