Small overlap front: driver-side
Rating applies to 2019-23 models
Tested vehicle: 2019 Ford Ranger XLT SuperCrew 2wd
The Ford Ranger SuperCrew was introduced in the 2019 model year. The Ranger was last sold in the U.S. as a 2011 model in regular cab and extended cab variants.
Action shot taken during the driver-side small overlap frontal crash test.
The dummy’s position in relation to the door frame, steering wheel, and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver’s survival space was maintained well.
The frontal and side curtain airbags worked well together to keep the head from coming close to any stiff structure or outside objects that could cause injury.
Forces on the right lower leg were high enough to indicate a significant risk of injury.

The Ford Ranger SuperCrew was introduced in the 2019 model year. The Ranger was last sold in the U.S. as a 2011 model in regular cab and extended cab variants.
Action shot taken during the passenger-side small overlap frontal crash test.
The dummy’s position in relation to the door frame and dashboard after the crash test indicates that the passenger’s survival space was maintained reasonably well.
The frontal and side curtain airbags worked well together to keep the passenger dummy’s head from coming close to any stiff structure or outside objects that could cause injury.
Forces on the right lower leg were sufficiently high to indicate a significant risk of injury.

Spied: 2024 Ford Ranger Crew Cab Long Bed – Should They Build It or Not?
Take a look at this 2024 Ford Ranger prototype that a TFL viewer (Kristopher S.) spied near El Reno, Oklahoma. This appears to be the next-generation Ranger crew cab with a long bed. Such a prototype was first seen many months ago, but now it resurfaces. Should Ford build and sell a crew cab long-bed midsize truck? Let’s take a closer look.
Many people say that a crew cab long-bed midsize pickup truck does not make sense in the United States. If you really need a bigger truck – simply buy a full-size pickup. However, there are also many people who disagree.
Toyota Tacoma and the Nissan Frontier currently offer a crew cab with a longer (6-foot) bed option.
The current Ford Ranger, Jeep Gladiator, and the all-new Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon crew cabs can only be had with a shorter 5-foot bed (or 5’2” in the case of the GM twins). In fact, when I brought up the question of a crew cab long-bed version of the new Colorado at a recent event – many journalists simply laughed at me by saying “Nobody would buy it.”
I think there is still a need for a narrower midsize pickup truck with a slightly longer bed that can be used for work or for camping and other recreation.
What do you think? Let me know in the comments below.
