Ive owned both so feel free to ask anything you want to know, I currently own 2 Rangers in fact bringing my owned Ranger total up to 5. lol

Ranger or Mazda...I had a 1999 Mazda B2500...anemic for the most part...had to downshift on the highway sometimes. I did add a Gibson Exhaust and some better plugs and wires. I could get up to 22mpg keeping it at 65mph or so. It was a nice looking truck (extended cab with a beer window) but performance on the 4 banger was weak. I think the 3.0L V6 probably got the same mileage and a bit better performance. The 4.0L I have no idea about...

I wear jeans with a 34" inseam, and I could not drive my friend's regular cab ranger, or my other friend's regular cab S-10 comfortably. The supercab was needed for leg room.

I believe my 2000 explorer had the same legroom as the Ranger. I'm 6'3" and always felt like legs were jammed up. Now that I have my F150, I'll prob never drive anything but a pickup. Love the legroom and headroom too.

I wear a 34" inseam (Im just over 6' tall) as well and have driven Rangers both regular cab and extended cab just fine. The only ranger of mine that was a little cramped was the old 86 regular cab I drivable when I was 16, that had a small cab.
