    The Ranger, a mainstay of Ford's lineup for decades, is a midsize pickup with seating up to 5. With optional all-wheel drive (AWD), it handles mud, snow, and sand with ease. Ford offers a 3-year, 36,000-mile basic warranty, and a 5-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty on its lineup.

    The 2022 Ford Ranger is average compared to all vehicles.

    Comparison to all vehicles.  This plot shows RSC safety scores on the horizontal axis vs. the number of vehicles with each safety score (depicted by bar height and percentages at the bottom). Colors reflect vehicle safety, ranging from red (not that safe) to green (safer). For reference, a score of 0 implies a 0.15% chance of driver death (13% chance of driver injury) over 15 years, and a score of 100 reflects a 0.016% chance (1.4% chance of driver injury). The 2022 Ford Ranger has a score of 78, implying a 0.045% chance of driver death (4% chance of injury).

    We estimate that the 2022 Ford Ranger has a vehicle lifetime fatality chance of 0.0447% and a vehicle lifetime injury chance of 5.1076%, meaning the average driver has a 0.0447% chance of dying in an accident if they drive the car under regular conditions for fifteen years, and a 5.1076% chance of being injured.

    Compared to the average vehicle, the 2022 Ford Ranger is 4% less likely to result in a fatal accident. Compared to other pickups, the 2022 Ford Ranger is 16% less likely to result in a fatal accident.

    Ford's Co-Pilot360 active safety features can protect loved ones by reducing accident severity and preventing accidents. All trims and versions of the 2022 Ford Ranger include the following active safety system: Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking. Some safety features are optional on the 2022 Ford Ranger--- although they add to the cost, one should consider the benefits of Lane Keeping System and BLIS Blind Spot Detection with Cross-Traffic Alert.

    Another safety feature seems simpler but should still be considered. Optional side mirror turn signals can help when you don't see a vehicle in your blind spot, by alerting them to your intention to switch lanes, which allows the other driver to avoid an accident with you.

    And it is about as safe as many comparable models.
