The Cimarron was the automotive equivalent of yelling, “ATTENTION, WORLD! I HAVE A 4 1/2-INCH PENIS!” from the top of a cliff.

The stated width in this article (86.3") is the body at the fenders, but less mirrors. Mirror-to-mirror, according to the 2018 brochure, is 96.8", same as a regular F-150.

My comment originally said “identical,” then I appended that to “more-or-less identical” just in case; I don’t know why that doesn’t show up now.

You’re comparing the off-road mid-size variant to a stock width full-size. Of course the width difference won’t be much. There’s no difference in width between a stock half-ton and an SRW HD. But there is about a 7” difference between the stock width mid-size and the stock width full-size.

I’m fairly certain this diesel isn’t emissions-legal in the US (also the reason why Transit 150s in the US are gas-only). I very much hope the 2.7 EB could be shoehorned in. That’s the modern equivalent of the 302 or 4.6 Triton, both of which can be swapped into a compact Ranger with some finagling.

I have learned since I made that comment that this width figure is mirror-to-mirror, which is customary in Australasia. In the US, we always assume width is less mirrors.

Yes, but it was to 6 different comments. This was the same reply to my same 6 questions.

I would expect the mirror width to be identical between standard Ranger and Ranger Raptor, as it is between F-150 and F-150 Raptor. Because it’s not like the cab itself is any wider, nor would the mirrors be.

If you’re saying that because of the massive width, don’t worry about it. That 86" width figure is including the mirrors. Just actually think about it for a second—if the stock Ranger is about 72" wide, how can it gain 14" from a pair of 2" fender flares? Plus there’s no clearance lights, which would be required for…

Somebody who gets it!

It sure is a good thing you gave me the same reply in 6 different comments, otherwise I might never have gotten it.

67"? That sounds right—the ZR2 Colorado has a track width of 66". And the Raptor is 73".

Don’t believe the 85.6" width for a second. That would make it wider than a stock F-150. 75" is much more likely. It’s either a typo, or they confused the width with mirrors with the width less mirrors.

I’d assume the actual width of the RR less mirrors is around 75".

The SuperCab/5.5' bed was available on non-Raptors from 2004-10, but it does make more sense on a off-roader.

67.3" is waaaay too narrow for the RR, since the stock Ranger is 72" wide. Heck, the old compact Ranger was 69"! 75" seems the most logical number, and lends credence to it being a simple typo that’s been blown out of proportion.

There’s more of a difference than this article lets on. The Ranger Raptor is most certainly not 85" wide.

This doesn’t seem germane to the topic at hand...
