Planning storage, floor protection or an organiser layout for a Ford Ranger tub starts with the measurements. The important detail is that not every current-generation Ranger double-cab pickup uses exactly the same load-box dimensions.
Depending on the variant and tub design, the floor length, width between the wheel arches and overall pickup-box width can differ. Factory liners, spray-in coatings, roller shutters, canopies and mounting brackets can reduce the usable space further.
This guide compares commonly published Ford Ranger tub dimensions for Australian current-generation variants and explains how a modular LockNMat layout can map to the main usable floor area.
Ford Ranger tub dimensions by trim
The following figures are approximate manufacturer-listed dimensions for common current-generation Australian double-cab pickup configurations.
| Tub dimension | XL / XLS | XLT / Sport / Wildtrak / Platinum | Raptor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Floor length | Approximately 1,547 mm | Approximately 1,464 mm | Approximately 1,541 mm |
| Width between wheel arches | Approximately 1,224 mm | Approximately 1,217 mm | Approximately 1,218 mm |
| Pickup-box width | Approximately 1,584 mm | Approximately 1,520 mm | Approximately 1,578 mm |
These figures are approximate and may differ by model year, body style, market, engine configuration and fitted equipment. Special editions may share one of the main tub designs shown above. Always confirm the specifications for your exact vehicle and measure the usable tub floor before ordering accessories.
Quick Ford Ranger tub-dimension summary
- XL and XLS: commonly use the longer and slightly wider work-focused tub configuration.
- XLT, Sport, Wildtrak and Platinum: commonly use the approximately 1,464 mm floor with around 1,217 mm between the wheel arches.
- Raptor: has its own tub dimensions, including an approximately 1,541 mm floor and 1,218 mm between the wheel arches.
- Special editions: may use a tub shared with an existing base variant, so check the exact specification sheet.
Why the width between the wheel arches matters
The full pickup-box width is not the same as the usable flat floor width.
The wheel arches extend into the tub and create the narrowest point across the main cargo floor. For boxes, mats, modular organisers and other floor-level accessories, the measurement between the wheel arches is normally the most useful starting point.
For the common Ranger configurations above, this measurement is approximately:
- 1,224 mm for the XL and XLS-style tub
- 1,217 mm for the XLT, Sport, Wildtrak and Platinum-style tub
- 1,218 mm for the Raptor tub
The difference appears small, but even a few millimetres can matter when an accessory is rigid, custom moulded or designed to press tightly against the tub walls.
Why Ranger tub dimensions can vary
Published measurements are useful for planning, but the actual usable space in your Ranger may differ because of:
- Factory drop-in tub liners
- Spray-in protective coatings
- Roller-shutter mounting brackets
- Canopy mounting hardware
- Sports bars and rack brackets
- Power outlets or cargo-management accessories
- Moulded corners and tapered tub walls
- Differences between model years and special editions
Measure the vehicle as it currently sits rather than relying only on a brochure figure.
How to measure a Ford Ranger tub
1. Measure between the wheel arches
Measure the narrowest usable floor width between the inner faces of the wheel arches.
Where a liner is fitted, measure inside the liner rather than against the metal tub underneath.
2. Measure the usable floor length
Measure from the front of the usable floor near the cab to the inside face of the closed tailgate.
Do not rely on the dimension measured across the top of the tub because tapered walls can produce a different result.
3. Check fitted accessories
Identify any brackets, bolts, outlets, drain points or mounting hardware that intrude into the main floor area.
4. Keep factory tie-down points accessible
A floor organiser should not prevent access to approved tie-down points needed for proper load restraint.
5. Measure more than once
Check the width near the front, middle and rear of the usable floor. Tub walls, liners and moulded edges may not remain perfectly parallel.
LockNMat tile dimensions
Each complete 48-piece LockNMat pack includes:
- 12 large tiles measuring 360 × 360 mm
- 12 medium filler tiles measuring 360 × 100 mm
- 12 small filler tiles measuring 360 × 50 mm
- 12 locking blockers
The tiles and fillers are used whole and are not intended to be cut into a custom-moulded liner shape.
The locking blockers connect to the interlocking floor pattern and can be repositioned around suitable everyday boxes, bags and equipment.
Base Ranger layout: three tiles wide by four rows long
A common starting layout uses all 12 large tiles:
- Three large tiles across: 3 × 360 mm = 1,080 mm
- Four large-tile rows long: 4 × 360 mm = 1,440 mm
- Main large-tile grid: approximately 1,080 × 1,440 mm
This main grid fits within the published floor dimensions of the common current-generation Ranger double-cab tubs listed above.
Medium and small fillers can then be positioned along selected sides or ends according to the available measurements and preferred layout.
Using medium fillers along the Ranger tub width
Four medium fillers can be placed lengthways along one side of the four-row large-tile grid.
- Main large-tile width: 1,080 mm
- One medium-filler strip: 100 mm
- Combined nominal coverage: 1,180 mm
Compared with the approximate manufacturer-listed wheel-arch widths, this leaves a nominal total difference of:
| Variant group | Approximate arch width | 1,180 mm layout difference | Nominal difference per side if centred |
|---|---|---|---|
| XL / XLS | 1,224 mm | 44 mm total | Approximately 22 mm |
| XLT / Sport / Wildtrak / Platinum | 1,217 mm | 37 mm total | Approximately 18.5 mm |
| Raptor | 1,218 mm | 38 mm total | Approximately 19 mm |
These are mathematical comparisons using the nominal brochure dimensions. They are not guaranteed installed gaps because liners, coatings, tub shape and accessories can change the usable measurements.
How the layout maps to each Ranger tub length
XL and XLS
The approximately 1,547 mm floor is about 107 mm longer than the 1,440 mm four-row large-tile grid.
Three medium fillers can form an additional 100 mm end row across the 1,080 mm main large-tile grid. Depending on the chosen side-filler layout, a small corner area may remain uncovered because all pieces are used whole.
XLT, Sport, Wildtrak and Platinum
The approximately 1,464 mm floor is about 24 mm longer than the 1,440 mm large-tile grid.
This makes the four-row layout a close nominal match, while still allowing for the actual liner, moulded front wall and tailgate clearance.
Raptor
The approximately 1,541 mm Raptor floor is about 101 mm longer than the 1,440 mm large-tile grid.
An additional 100 mm filler row may be used across part of the main grid where the measured floor shape allows.
Important fitment wording
The system is designed to fit within the main usable area between the wheel arches. Small side gaps may remain, and on some ute models these can be up to approximately 25 mm per side.
The locking blockers connect to the interlocking floor pattern rather than relying on pressure against the tub walls.
LockNMat is a modular organiser rather than a custom-moulded Ranger tub liner, so it does not need to be forced tightly against every moulded edge.
Why the Ranger trim difference matters
A rigid accessory designed around a 1,547 mm XL or XLS floor may not suit the approximately 1,464 mm floor used by other Ranger variants.
The same applies to overall width. The commonly listed 1,584 mm XL/XLS pickup-box width differs from the approximately 1,520 mm width used by the XLT, Sport, Wildtrak and Platinum-style tub.
A modular layout can use the same pack differently according to the available floor:
- Use or omit an additional end filler row
- Position fillers along the most useful side
- Leave access around brackets and tie-down points
- Reposition the blockers when the cargo changes

Does a Ford Ranger tub liner change the usable dimensions?
Yes. A drop-in liner, protective coating or moulded insert can reduce or reshape the usable area.
The exact difference depends on:
- The liner manufacturer
- The thickness and moulded rib design
- Whether the liner covers the wheel arches
- Whether brackets or accessory mounts pass through the liner
- The location of tie-down points and outlets
Measure inside the fitted liner. Do not subtract a generic amount from a brochure measurement because the reduction may not be uniform across the tub.
Ford Ranger tub dimensions FAQs
What are the current Ford Ranger tub dimensions?
Common Australian current-generation double-cab pickup dimensions include approximately 1,547 mm floor length and 1,224 mm between the wheel arches for XL/XLS-style tubs, approximately 1,464 mm and 1,217 mm for several lifestyle variants, and approximately 1,541 mm and 1,218 mm for Raptor.
Is the Ford Ranger XLT tub the same size as the XL tub?
Not in the commonly published configurations shown above. The XL-style pickup floor is approximately 1,547 mm long, while the XLT-style floor is approximately 1,464 mm. Confirm the specifications for your exact model year and vehicle.
How wide is a Ford Ranger tub between the wheel arches?
The commonly listed width is approximately 1,217 to 1,224 mm depending on the variant. The Raptor is commonly listed at approximately 1,218 mm.
How long is a Next Gen Ranger tub floor?
Common double-cab pickup floor lengths include approximately 1,464 mm, 1,541 mm and 1,547 mm, depending on the variant and tub design.
Does a Ford Ranger tub liner reduce the available space?
Yes. A fitted liner can change both the usable width and floor shape. Measure inside the liner rather than relying on the bare-metal tub dimensions.
Will Ranger accessories fit every trim?
Not necessarily. Tub dimensions, liners and factory accessories can vary. Fixed-size products should be checked against the exact vehicle measurements before purchase.
How many LockNMat large tiles fit across a Ranger tub?
Three 360 mm large tiles create a main grid width of 1,080 mm. Medium and small filler pieces can then be used to extend selected areas according to the measured tub floor.
Will LockNMat fit edge-to-edge?
LockNMat is not a custom-moulded liner. It is designed for the main usable area between the wheel arches. Small side gaps may remain, and on some Ranger models or setups these can be up to approximately 25 mm per side.
Does LockNMat replace load restraint?
No. LockNMat is an organisation system for suitable everyday gear. Heavy, sharp, dangerous or legally restrained cargo must be secured separately using suitable rated straps, approved anchor points or other appropriate restraint methods.
Measure first, then plan the layout
Ford Ranger tub dimensions differ between several current-generation configurations, so planning from the exact trim and fitted tub setup matters.
Use the manufacturer figures as a starting point, then measure the actual floor between the wheel arches, check the usable length and account for every fitted liner, bracket and accessory.
LockNMat provides a removable 48-piece system with large tiles, medium fillers, small fillers and 12 repositionable locking blockers for creating practical floor-level zones around suitable everyday gear.
Plan your Ford Ranger tub layout
Check the dedicated Ranger fitment guidance, measure your usable tub floor and choose a removable layout that can change with your work, camping and everyday gear.
Vehicle and tub dimensions are approximate and may vary by model year, variant, fitted liner and accessories. Always measure your vehicle before ordering. LockNMat helps organise suitable everyday gear but is not a certified load-restraint system.
