What size beds do Ford Rangers have?
Ford Rangers come with two bed lengths: a 5-foot short bed and a 6-foot long bed.
In practice, the exact bed length you get depends on the cab configuration and model year, and availability can vary by market. This article outlines the current, widely available options and how they map to different Ranger configurations.
Bed lengths in the current Ranger lineup
Here are the two bed length options you’ll typically encounter on recent Ranger models:
- 5-foot bed — the shorter bed option, commonly paired with the Crew Cab (four full doors) configuration in most trims.
- 6-foot bed — the longer bed option, often available with the extended cab design in older configurations and on select model-year/trim combinations in newer lineups.
Availability can vary by market (for example, North America vs. other regions) and by model year. Always confirm the exact bed length for the specific Ranger you’re considering with a dealer or official Ford spec sheets.
Bed-length mapping to cab configurations
To help buyers understand what to expect, here is how the bed lengths have typically paired with Ranger cabs in North America:
- Short bed (5-foot) — commonly paired with the Crew Cab (SuperCrew) configuration.
- Long bed (6-foot) — commonly paired with the extended cab (SuperCab) configuration or specific trims in certain years.
Note: The exact pairing can vary by year, trim, and market, and some configurations may not be available in every model year.
Verifying the exact bed length for your Ranger
To ensure you’re getting the correct bed length for a given Ranger, use these steps:
- Check the vehicle’s window sticker or build sheet for the bed length specified for that unit.
- Consult Ford’s official model-year specification pages or the owner’s manual for your trim and cab configuration.
- Ask the dealer to confirm the bed length for your specific VIN to avoid any mix-ups in inventory.
Verifying the exact bed length before purchase helps ensure the cargo space meets your needs.
Summary
The Ford Ranger offers two cargo bed lengths: a 5-foot short bed and a 6-foot long bed. The availability of each length depends on cab configuration, model year, and market. Always verify the exact bed length with official specs or a dealer before buying.
