The new Ford Maverick has recently been seen parked next to a new Ford Ranger. In the photo above you can see the size comparison between the two.
The Ford Ranger was built from 1983-2011. When Ford reintroduced it in 2019 it returned as a larger pick-up. It’s new size fell in between the previous Ranger model and the Ford F-150. Ford has realized that there’s a market for a smaller pick-up truck and introduced a new compact pick-up with Ford’s old ‘Maverick’ name.
This new ‘Maverick’ pick-up actually compares closely to the older (smaller) generation of Ford Rangers. How close is it?
Let’s see how it compares:
1983-1992 Ford Ranger Extended Cab
- Wheelbase: 125.0″
- Overall Length: 192.7″ / 193.6″
- Overall Width: 66.9″
- Horsepower: 4.0L OHV – 160 Horsepower
1993-1997 Ford Ranger Extended Cab
- Wheelbase: 125.2″
- Overall Length: 198.2″
- Overall Width: 69.4″
- Horsepower: 4.0L OHV – 160 Horsepower
1998-2011 Ford Ranger Extended Cab
- Wheelbase: 125.7″
- Overall Length: 203.6″
- Overall Width: 69.4″
- Horsepower: 4.0L SOHC – 207 Horsepower
2022 Ford Maverick
- Wheelbase: 121″
- Overall Length: 199.7″
- Overall Width: 72.6″
- Horsepower: 2.0L Ecoboost – 250 Horsepower
2019 Ford Ranger
- Wheelbase: 126.9″
- Overall Length: 210.8″
- Overall Width: 73.3″
- Horsepower: 270 Horsepower
I used the extended cab dimensions since the 1983-2011 Ford Ranger wasn’t offered as a 4-door.
As you can see the new Maverick is not only smaller than the new Ranger, it’s very close in size to the 1983-2011 Ford Rangers. It also offers the 4-doors that the 1983-2011 Ranger never offered, as well as more horsepower and fuel economy.
The photo above shows how the previous generation of the Ford Ranger compares in size to the 2019 Ford Ranger that replaced it.
As you can see in the photo below the Ford Maverick and the previous generation of the Ford Ranger are very close in size.

About The Author
Growing up, my father always believed that every family needed a truck—there’s just something about having a vehicle capable of hauling anything at a moment’s notice. That philosophy stuck with me, and it’s been the foundation of my lifelong passion for Ford trucks.
While I’m best known for my work with Ford Rangers, I’ve owned a wide variety of Ford trucks over the years—including F-150s, F-250s, F-350s, and even larger rigs like the Ford Excursion, Ford Expedition, and a 1982 Ford Econoline Sportsmobile camper van. I’ve used these vehicles for everything from family transportation to towing car trailers and campers, and each one has fueled my love for Ford’s versatility and durability.
I especially enjoy the styling of 1970s and 1980s Ford trucks—the bold designs, rugged presence, and classic charm are timeless. Sharing my passion for Ford trucks, vans, and SUVs with other enthusiasts online brings me a great deal of joy, and it’s why I created Blue Oval Trucks.
This website is dedicated to helping Ford truck enthusiasts explore, learn about, and celebrate these incredible vehicles. While I share my expertise and experiences here, Blue Oval Trucks is an independent enthusiast site and is not affiliated with Ford Motor Company.
