2023 Ford Ranger – Crash Test / Safe Midsize Truck !!!

The next-generation Ford Ranger and Everest (except for the Ranger Raptor which remains untested) scored a perfect 5-star safety rating at the Australia New Car Assessment Program or ANCAP.

Considered more stringent than the ASEAN NCAP, the Ranger achieved strong results in adult occupancy protection (AOP) for frontal offset, side-impact, and far-side impact tests. It was awarded the maximum rating of “good” for child occupant protection (COP) in frontal offset and side-impact collisions too.

Given that the Everest shares the Ranger’s basic structure, ANCAP also awarded the 7-seater mid-sized SUV with the perfect rating based on technical information provided by Ford.

In order to merit the 5-star safety rating, the Ranger and Everest variant must be equipped with Ford’s updated driver assist system which offers enhanced pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking and lane keeping assist that can detect unmarked road edges. These improvements were rolled out as a complimentary update (at least in Australia) just this August.

ANCAP’s current testing protocols are the strictest in the organization’s history, making it harder to achieve a five-star rating and now include the testing of AEB performance at junctions between vehicles and passengers. Ranger and Everest’s new forward-facing wide-view camera were a key factor in helping the vehicles score highly in ANCAP’s active safety testing.

Ford is particularly proud of the next-generation Ranger and Everest’s development.

At their core is an immensely strong body that uses high-strength materials to create a ‘safety cell’ to protect occupants. The placement of high-strength steels in the A-pillar, B-pillar, and C-pillar, as well as door sills, are to ensure that crash loads are directed away from occupants.

To achieve high levels of safety and meet Ford’s demanding in-house requirements, Ford engineers used both analytical virtual testing and physical testing.

More than 150 computer-aided engineering (CAE) next-generation Everest and Ranger models were built and analyzed, each looking at crash scenarios as diverse as frontal offset, rear impact, and side impacts. Also, dozens of occupant impact scenarios were carried out to ensure the protection of a wide range of occupant statures (adults and children), as well as low-speed crashes, the kind you might experience in a car park, to determine the repairability of minor components.

Out in the real world, both vehicles underwent dozens of real-world crash tests, ranging from shopping trolley impacts to high-speed simulated large animal dummies and car-to-car impacts. In all, Ford engineers conducted more than 100 full vehicle crash tests, combined with hundreds of physical sled tests that simulate a full vehicle with occupants. This was supported by hundreds of sub-system and component safety-related tests.

2:45 Vehicle performs as in video. Have U.S. 2023 Ranger XLT. Stopping efficiency saved life of a huge turtle on roadway - Hit brakes, and it made it across road.

Ford looks like they really saw what the explorer and expedition had going for them on a positive note in the crash tests last few years and really glad they are looking even more safe

[cesarpalmos]

Im impressed the windshield didnt even break in some of the tests

Love the Gold metallic, but HATE the 1990 Death Black interior

Impressed by the autonomous features and how they're tested but what gripes me is that safer driving vehicles and safer public roads are locked behind a pay wall. Would like to see it the other way round safety comes free and as standard and you have to pay extra to get an "unrestricted less safe" vehicle. Current system doesn't make sense I understand the reasoning manufacturers need to recoup R&D investment somehow but as a driver what's the point? Yay!!! Got a super expensive new car can stop itself from smashing into some broken down junk in the highway but it doesn't mean the cars behind have the same braking system and they're now going to rear-end your expensive AI assisted vehicle. 🤯 Safety should be standard and priority, and driver's skill and wallet should be the determining factor in getting a less assisted vehicle or allowing the features to be disabled. You Completed an Advanced Driving course, upload your cert and you can now unlock/disable the features. Will make older cars prices go up!

It's amazing to see how the latest air bag technology works and deploys. Ranger is an outstanding vehicle. Best technology and excellent quality. And we build them in South Africa 😁👍🏻

[santaisback]

Very impressive for its size, especially the brake action.

[iDiOt]

What paint is the goldish one? Its very cool looking

[formula]

very smart industry..you produce less safe vehicle only to produce safer vehicles later at a huge price

[sonmai]

VN không bao giờ có thử nghiệm như vậy. chúc mừng họ làm rất tôi

[DostovieskyLey]

Ojalá y llegue a México 🇲🇽 con toda esa tecnología.

[dylann.]

Now the Ranger doesn’t even look like a Ranger, it looks like the Maverick ;-;

[DarkAvenga]

I've had my Ranger emergency brake because I was following someone too closely 😂 (slow speed, over a speed hump)

Cool to see how it goes at a higher speed

[Soul_]

Lastima que en Brazil y Argentina las hacen de lo mas mediocre y si tenes un accidente como el de este video los daños son extremadamente graves.

[xrCougar]

Trying to buy one....can't afford it over here and they are just chrasing them by the fleet....hand me one for free thank you!

[paulmcintosh]

No rollover tests, the roof structure in this vehicle category has been poor in the past,

[jadilsonalvesdasilva]

Muito bom excelente profissional parabéns pelo vídeo 👏👏👏👏

[damontroch]

So yous show a crash rating on an American made truck, yet you show it right hand drive...😂🤣

[moose]

How many Rangers did they go through to do all these
