How long is a Ranchero?

There isn’t one fixed length for the Ranchero. Depending on the year and generation, it typically runs about 200 to 214 inches long (roughly 5.1 to 5.4 meters), with most examples around 210 inches.


The Ford Ranchero was built by Ford between 1957 and 1979 as a car-based pickup—a coupe utility vehicle that paired a passenger-car front end with a cargo bed. Because Ford redesigned the platform several times during its production life, the overall length shifts slightly from generation to generation. The following overview offers a general sense of size and guidance on where to find exact figures for a specific year.


Why length varies by generation


The Ranchero’s length changes mainly due to variations in wheelbase, body styling, and bed length across four generations. Early models borrowed from the Ford Fairlane, while later versions used different underpinnings, resulting in subtle but measurable differences in overall length.


For collectors and buyers, the most reliable way to confirm a specific Ranchero’s length is to consult the factory specification sheets, dealer brochures, or trusted online databases that catalog exact inches for each model year.


General length range


In broad terms, Rancheros sit in the 200–214 inch range. Practically, that translates to roughly 16 feet 8 inches to 17 feet 10 inches. The majority fall near the 210-inch neighborhood, give or take a few inches depending on gear, options, and trim.


Summary


There is no single measurement for a Ranchero. If you need the precise length for a particular year, check the official Ford specification for that model year or a reputable archival database. The general takeaway is that Rancheros are long, car-based pickups overall, typically around 210 inches in length with some years shorter or longer by a handful of inches.

How long is a 1967 Ford Ranchero?


The adaption of the Fairlane sheet- metal front end, however, adds to 1967 Ranchero overall length. The 1966 Falcon Ranchero was 197.5 in. long; the 1967 Fairlane model is 199.9 in. Height and width measurements of the 1967 Ranchero are identical to those for 1966.

How long is a typical ranch house?


A typical ranch house is approximately 48 feet long and 22 feet wide, resulting in an average of about 1,500 to 1,700 square feet. However, the overall size can vary significantly, from smaller homes under 1,000 square feet to larger luxury versions exceeding 3,000 square feet.
 

  • Average size: Many typical ranch homes fall between 1,500 and 1,700 square feet, with a common configuration of about 48 feet by 22 feet. 
  • Variable size: The size of a ranch home can vary widely depending on location and design, with some being as small as 700 square feet and others sprawling to 3,000 square feet or more. 
  • Floor plan: Ranch-style homes are a single-story structure with a layout that often places the living areas (like the kitchen and living room) on one end and the bedrooms on the other. 
  • Other features: They commonly include a garage or carport, large windows, and sometimes a patio or deck.
