How long is the bed on a Ford Ranger?
The Ford Ranger’s cargo bed comes in two lengths in the current lineup: a 5-foot short bed and a 6-foot long bed. Availability depends on the cab configuration and trim, so the exact length you can buy varies by model year and market.
Bed-length options in current Ranger models
Below are the two standard bed lengths you'll encounter in most markets today, along with notes about typical configurations.
- 5-foot bed (short bed) — commonly paired with four-door crew-cab configurations.
- 6-foot bed (long bed) — available on select trims and cab configurations.
Choosing between these lengths affects cargo space for long items, payload handling, and how the bed interacts with accessories. Always verify the exact bed length for the specific year, trim, and cab configuration you’re considering.
Details by configuration and year
Since its reintroduction in 2019, the Ranger has offered two bed lengths in many regions. The shorter 5-foot bed is the default for most crew-cab setups, while the longer 6-foot bed appears on certain trims and markets. Because Ford periodically adjusts options by year and region, consult the official spec sheet for your exact model to confirm which bed length is available.
Why bed length matters
Bed length influences how long you can carry items, how you arrange cargo, and which accessory options fit. If you routinely haul long materials or gear, the longer bed may be worth prioritizing; if garage space or maneuverability is more important, the shorter bed might be the better fit.
Summary
In the current Ford Ranger lineup, bed lengths are 5 feet or 6 feet. The 5-foot bed is the common choice for many crew-cab configurations, while the 6-foot bed is available on select trims and configurations. Always check the exact specifications for your year and region before purchasing or ordering.
