Ford Ranger Bed Dimensions: Length, Width, Depth & Cargo Space
Before you load a mattress, a stack of lumber, or a pallet of tile into a Ford Ranger, it helps to know exactly what you're working with. The current Ranger generation (2024-2026) ships with a single bed size across the whole lineup, which simplifies things — but it's a different bed than older Rangers offered, so the numbers you'll find online vary a lot depending on which model year someone is talking about.
Here's the official breakdown for the current truck, plus what changed from the previous generation.
Ford Ranger Bed Dimensions at a Glance
For the current U.S.-market Ranger, the 59.6-inch bed length is the key measurement to remember. The 48.2-inch width between the wheel wells also matters when you're carrying sheet goods or pallets. With 43.5 cubic feet of cargo volume, the Ranger offers useful space for everyday hauling without moving up to a full-size pickup.
2024-2026 Ford Ranger Bed Dimensions (Official)
| Spec | Measurement |
|---|---|
| Bed length (floor) | 59.6 in |
| Maximum bed width | 62.4 in |
| Width between wheel wells | 48.2 in |
| Bed depth | 20.6–20.8 in, depending on model year and trim |
| Cargo box volume | 43.5 cu ft |
Figures apply across current Ranger trims, from XL through Raptor. For the U.S. market, the current Ranger is offered with a SuperCrew cab and 5-foot box — international markets offer different configurations. Always confirm against your build sheet before ordering a bed cover or liner.
What Changed From the Previous Generation (2019-2023)
If you're researching a used Ranger, the numbers above won't match it. The 2019-2023 Ranger offered two configurations — and this is where a lot of outdated bed-dimension figures online come from:
| Spec | 2019-2023 SuperCab (Long Bed) | 2019-2023 SuperCrew (Short Bed) |
|---|---|---|
| Bed length | ~73.3 in (6.1 ft) | ~61 in (5.1 ft) |
| Width between wheel wells | ~44.8 in | ~44.8 in |
The current generation dropped the SuperCab and long-bed option entirely, standardizing on the wider, shorter SuperCrew box shown in the first table.
Will a 4x8 Sheet Fit in the Bed?
This trips up a lot of buyers cross-shopping midsize trucks, since the width between wheel wells looks generous on paper — the bed's short length is the real constraint for full-size sheet goods.
Does the Raptor Have a Different Bed?
No. The Ranger Raptor uses the same 59.6-inch SuperCrew box as every other current trim. The Raptor's differences are in suspension, tires, and available bed accessories — not cargo dimensions.
Common Things That Fit (and Don't) in the Current Ranger Bed
| Item | Fits? |
|---|---|
| Standard pallet (48" x 40") | Yes, resting between the wheel wells |
| 4x8 plywood sheet, tailgate up | No — bed floor is too short (59.6 in vs. 96 in) |
| 4x8 plywood sheet, tailgate lowered | Very close fit (48 in vs. 48.2 in); needs proper support and securement |
| Full-size mattress (queen) | With tailgate down and secured |
| Motorcycle (with ramp) | Yes |
| Bed-mounted toolbox + full-size spare | Yes, reduces usable length slightly |
