How we verify Ford Ranger performance data

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Ford Ranger trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

Ford Ranger performance FAQs

6 questions

The quickest Ford Ranger on record is the 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor SuperCrew (4'11.6" Bed), which runs 0–60 mph in 5.3 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 14.10 seconds at 97.0 mph.

The slowest recorded Ford Ranger is the 1983 Ford Ranger XLS Regular Cab, which takes 14.8 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 19.97 seconds in the quarter.

Averaged across all 29 verified runs, a Ford Ranger reaches 60 mph in 7.55 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 15.77 seconds at roughly 88.0 mph.

We have verified test data for 10 model years. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.

Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver, Four Wheeler MT, Motor Trend and Motor Week. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.

0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.

0–60 and quarter-mile times vary with driver, weather, tire temperature, and wear. We collect every verified run we can find — so you see the range of what a Ford Ranger can do, not a single marketing claim.
