The Ford Ranger, a midsize pickup truck known for its rugged capability and versatility, is also leading the charge in safety innovation. With its comprehensive suite of advanced technologies, the Ranger is redefining what it means to be a safe and secure vehicle, both on and off the road. Let's delve into the cutting-edge features that make the Ranger a standout choice for safety-conscious drivers.
Ford Co-Pilot360™: Your Intelligent Co-Pilot
At the heart of the Ranger's safety arsenal is Ford Co-Pilot360™, a collection of driver-assist technologies designed to elevate your awareness and help you avoid potential hazards. This intelligent system utilizes cameras, radar, and sensors to monitor your surroundings, providing real-time alerts and assistance when you need it most.
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB): This system acts as a vigilant guardian, scanning the road ahead and alerting you to potential collisions with vehicles or pedestrians. If you fail to react in time, it can automatically apply the brakes to help mitigate or even prevent an accident. This feature provides crucial protection in unexpected situations, such as sudden stops or distracted driving.
- BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert: Changing lanes or backing out of a parking space can be stressful, especially with a truck bed full of cargo. BLIS® with Cross-Traffic Alert helps you stay aware of your surroundings by alerting you when vehicles are in your blind spot or approaching from the sides when you're in reverse.
- Lane-Keeping System: This system helps you stay centered in your lane, gently nudging the steering wheel if you unintentionally drift. It's particularly helpful on long drives or when you're momentarily distracted, reducing the risk of lane departure accidents.
​
Beyond the Basics: Additional Safety Technologies
The Ranger goes above and beyond with these additional safety features:
- Rear View Camera: Maneuvering in tight spaces or backing up is made easier with a clear view of what's behind you. The rearview camera is especially useful when parking in crowded lots or backing up your truck with a trailer attached.
- Adaptive Cruise Control: Maintain a set distance from the vehicle ahead, even in stop-and-go traffic, with this advanced cruise control system. It reduces driver fatigue and improves safety on long highway journeys.
- Trailer Sway Control: If you frequently tow trailers or boats, this system helps you maintain control by detecting sway and applying selective braking to individual wheels.
- 360-Degree Camera: Get a bird's-eye view of your truck and its surroundings with this available feature, making it easier to navigate tight trails, park, and avoid obstacles.
- Post-Collision Braking: In the unfortunate event of a collision, this system automatically applies the brakes to help reduce the severity of a secondary impact.
Strong Foundation for Safety
The Ranger's commitment to safety extends beyond its advanced technology. Its high-strength steel frame and strategically placed airbags create a protective cocoon for occupants in the event of a collision.
