Test details:
The Ford Ranger extended cab models with four doors were introduced in the 1999 model year. Beginning with 2010 models, side airbags for the driver and front passenger became standard (no side airbags were available previously in any Ranger model) and the front door trim was modifed to improve occupant protection in side impact crashes. Structure ratings are based on this test and on an earlier test of a 2008 Ranger model without side airbags. NOTE: the ratings are based only on the driver, and the side-facing rear jump seats weren’t tested because they are not recommended for safe transport.
Injury measures:
Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that rib fractures as well as a fracture of the pelvis would be possible in a crash of this severity.
Rear passenger — No passenger dummy present - jump seats not recommended for safe transport.
Head protection:
Driver — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side airbag that deployed from the seat.
Rear passenger — No passenger dummy present - jump seats not recommended for safe transport.
