5G Ranger accident statistics: bad news for ranger

[RacerX]

Wow you’re just doubling down now. It’s not on the car list because it’s a truck and is literally on the truck list…my god man. 5g or not it’s clear from the 6g crash ratings that the safety issues have not been resolved.

It's not on the list because the Ranger is 4.0 FAC and the top 23 only get to 5.6 FAC.

Ford Bronco: 6.6 FAC
#17 in top 23
#7 in top SUV's

This article should be posted on ranger5g. It's not relevant to the 6G ford ranger which is a completely different design with better safety tech.

I'm curious how much safer, if at all, the 6g is compared to the 5g. I know the wheelbase is extended 2" and the width is also extended 2" which helps with handling and stability (aka accident avoidance), but I don't see safety ratings for the 2024 on IIHS website yet. Also, according to Ford in the 2024 Ranger Order Guide, the Advanced Driver Assist didn't change from 5g to 6g:

speaking broadly, the 5G ranger was built with 2009-2011 safety tech (as it was released in 2012 everywhere but america)

with the 6G being designed and built over a decade later (2020-2022), i'm guessing there is significant upgrades in all the ranger's safety tech. vehicle technology has advanced leaps and bounds since 2010.

despite the 5G ranger being released in 2019 in the USA, it was very outdated by the time we got it. while we don't have much info about the 6G's actual safety ratings, i don't think this article about the 5G ranger is relevant to our truck in the slightest.

I hear you, but that logic is based on the premise that the safety tech in the 5G was the same in 2023 as it was in 2009, and I don’t know that that’s true. To be fair, I don’t know that it’s not; I just know that ford said that the ADAS in 2024 was unchanged from 2023.

We know it to be true though. Nothing was changed significantly from the ROW version and the US version when it was brought over in 19 till 23 as far as the actual frame and such.

If you want to get an idea of ratings look at the bronco since we share the same frame and other things.

last year the NHTSA did choose the 24 ranger for the 5 star testing (https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/nhtsa-2024-crash-test-vehicles-5-star-safety-ratings). So at some point we will get it unless trump decides we dont need the NHTSA as well.

Seriously?! You’re more likely to win the Powerball jackpot (1 in 292M) or be involved with an airplane crash (1 in 11M). Living is full of risk. Dawn some bubble wrap and stay home or enjoy life with your new truck.

Reading comprehension might be hard for you so I’ll help you out. Read the sentence before the one you bolded. The 6th gen did NOT perform well in IIHS crash tests and IS a design issue.

Link please- On IIHS website I don't see a test for the 6th gen.

Well, no we don't know that. I specifically mentioned the assumption that the safety-related technology wasn't changed from 2011 until the end of the run (originally I just mentioned that it hadn't changed from 2023 to 2024 model years) and it appears that the safety-related tech was updated for the rest-of-world rangers in 2019 along with the north american rangers:

And ironically, you mentioned the frame specifically as something we know didn't change, but it seems that it did indeed change in 2019 for the north american rangers: it wasn't a boxed frame before 2019, but was changed for the 2019 model year. It was also changed to accommodate front tow hooks, steel front bumper, etc

As I said, it didnt change specifically from the 19 year version to 23. I never said anything about it before. So not sure what you are trying to prove here lol.

The Australian ANCAP is the only people publishing ratings for the 6th Gen Ranger at this time. They gave it a five star rating.

Moving the goalposts in this thread too. You said, "We know it to be true though. Nothing was changed significantly from the ROW version and the US version when it was brought over in 19 till 23 as far as the actual frame and such." which is false, the frame was changed, the safety-related... oh nevermind. I'm done.

I mean I cant help it if you dont understand. The frame has been the same since it came over, just like I said. The crash data starts in 19 when it came over. Nothing changed safety wise between 19-23 as far as physical material changes. I think you are lost in the sauce my guy.

My wife is more likely to kill me than my Ranger.

My wife is more likely to kill me than my Ranger.

Is that because you divided the risk by the amount of wives you have over the course of miles driven to dates with all of the wives?

 

[hand-filer]

This thread adds nothing meaningful to this forum. Speculation on the safety ratings of a vehicle that has yet to be tested.
WTF?
Over.
