Woah woah woah - let's not say things we can't take back. This is still a mid-size truck, even a modern overgrown one is still not exactly spacious in the back end. I was just incredibly surprised that this worked at all:

Like I said this would probably horribly break my legs and I wouldn't do it for long. But it wasn't even going to be close to an option in the Colorado - this is me behind my own driver position. If you're not oaf-sized like me then it probably isn't terrible. If you're trying to get child seats in the back end, this might be a huge difference though.

Honestly try sitting in the back of a Colorado or Tacoma with the front seat back. It isn't even possible for bigger people. The fact you fit at all like that, and that is worst case, is pretty good.

I agree. I went to the show tonight. Sat in the Ranger first and then the Colorado. It was noticeable. I was sad that they had the Tacoma TRD locked up.

You’re right I should say “roomier” than other mid-size trucks. I’m short though 5’8” and wife is like 5’3” so we have midget kids as well!! Read somewhere someone saying it was roomier than a 3rd gen Tacoma (which I currently drive) so that’s a bonus. Guess we’ll see when I get mine!

Good Info - thanks for shareing.

Regarding the Antenna, I want a shorter one too - are you thinking of this one:
https://www.amazon.com/CravenSpeed-Stubby-Antenna-Ranger-2019-2020/dp/B081QN854G/ref=sr_1_9?crid=1TAHV41EAFWYS&keywords=stubby+antenna&qid=1684369154&sprefix=stubby+antennae,aps,217&sr=8-9&th=1

I'm guessing that it should fit the 6G Ranger too.
But maybe by the time I finally get my new Truck (2 or 3 more months ?!), the Product Page will be updated to show that it does indeed fit the 6G too.
