So I am confused. According to the Ford site, the Ranger is 85.8 inches wide. Which is wide, REALLY wide. like .5 inches narrower than an F150 Raptor wide. Which also brings up the question of how wide the F150 is, which they claim as 79.9 inches (both measures explicitly state without mirrors). So how is the Ranger nearly half a foot wider than the F150? Also, the T6 Ranger Raptor available elsewhere is listed as the same 85.8 inches wide, even though it’s clearly wider than stock. What’s going on here Ford?

The Ranger just isn’t that big.

I mean this (Ranger interior)

is not the same kind of roomy as this

Its obvious the F150 is substantially wide, so what gives?

EDIT: Ford listed the Ranger width without mirrors as their WITH mirrors width in their launch material.  The actual width is 73.3 inches...much better.

if somethin’ says it’s 85 excluding mirrors then it’s a typo

I think you’re right.  The info I was looking at was the launch packet which states (85.8 inches excluding mirrors).  73.3 inches makes MUCH more sense.

The Galaxie is a full 80". Only logical that an F-150 which is now the chief American 4-door BOF sedan would be as well.

I think there might be a mess up here. Because the Colorado is a very similar in size but they run 74.3 to 76.7" (assuming ZR2 is the widest) but no way the ranger is almost a foot wider.

See the Aussie versions below.

I had noticed that as well, and assumed it was a typo, because it just had to be.
