* Year and Model of the Ranger: The size and shape of the back seat vary slightly between model years. Older Rangers may have less space than newer ones.
* Type of Car Seat: Larger convertible car seats or bulky infant carriers might be a tighter fit than smaller seats. A rear-facing car seat will generally take up more space.
* Where the seat is installed: The center rear seat position often offers the most space, but it may not have a proper anchorage system in all Ford Rangers. The side seats are generally fine.
Before purchasing a car seat, it's highly recommended to:
* Consult your car's owner's manual: This will provide specific information about LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) system locations and recommendations for car seat installation.
* Try the car seat in your Ranger before purchasing: If possible, take the car seat to the dealership or a store that allows trying it in your vehicle. This will allow you to ensure a proper fit and installation.
In short, while it *should* fit, always check compatibility and try before you buy to be absolutely sure.
