What size is the back of a Ford Ranger?
The back of a Ford Ranger comes in two bed sizes in the U.S.—a 5-foot bed and a 6-foot bed (about 60.8 inches or 72.8 inches long), depending on cab configuration and year.
Two bed lengths offered
In the U.S. market for recent Rangers (2019 model year onward), buyers choose between a shorter 5-foot bed and a longer 6-foot bed. The exact option depends on cab style and trim, so check the specific build sheet for any Ranger you’re considering.
- 5-foot bed: about 60.8 inches long
- 6-foot bed: about 72.8 inches long
The bed length you choose affects cargo space, payload, and how easily longer items fit. Always verify the bed length on the specific truck you’re buying or leasing.
Bed length by cab style (typical guidance)
Bed length options are tied to the Ranger’s cab configuration. While exact pairings can vary by year and market, the general guidance is:
- SuperCrew (crew cab): commonly available with the 5-foot bed; the 6-foot bed may require specific trims or markets.
- SuperCab (extended cab): frequently paired with the 6-foot bed, offering more cargo room behind the rear seats.
When shopping, consult the window sticker or the dealer’s build sheet to confirm which bed length is included with a given Ranger.
Global variations
Outside the United States, the Ford Ranger’s bed length options and cab configurations can differ. For example, regional models might emphasize different cargo bed dimensions, so always verify the exact measurements for your market or vehicle.
Why bed size matters
Bed length determines how much cargo you can carry flat on the floor, how easily longer items fit, and the overall versatility of the truck for work or recreation. It also interacts with bed features such as tie-downs, bed liner, and available tailgate steps, which may be worth considering when evaluating a Ranger purchase.
Summary
The Ford Ranger offers two primary cargo bed lengths in its current US lineup: a 5-foot bed (roughly 60.8 inches) and a 6-foot bed (roughly 72.8 inches). The exact pairings depend on cab style and market, so verify the bed length on any specific truck. For buyers, this choice affects storage space and how you transport longer items, making it a key consideration in selecting trims and options.
