6’ long legs, seat all the way up, plenty of room.

I don’t think I would get the power sun roof.

Do you say you wouldnt get it because of headroom reasons? Or just in general?

i would want to be as high as possible and 2” might force me down

I’ve had several vehicles with sunroofs and hardly used it

there is plenty of light and air in the cabin.

With lcd screens I wouldn’t want more light.

Being at tall person The front window pillar sloping back causes issues to get in. I have to put my head in first. It may help to have the truck lifted.

Hey guys. Title says it all - curious how much headroom you have in your Ranger if you are around my height, 6 ft 0.

I had originally wanted the power sunroof but that obviously got delayed by Ford. My wife had just reminded me that, in previous cars, I always needed to drive the actual car beforehand to confirm I had enough headroom. I've read online the Power Moonroof option removes exactly 2" of headroom space on these

Might be for the best I didn't order a Sunroof Ranger sight unseen - would have really sucked to sign papers, grab the keys, only to find my head brushing the roof!

I did have that happen before with some cars. My current Subaru, even with a sunroof, still gives me 1.5" of headroom. Not much but enough. On the flip side, I almost bought a Jeep where my head was hitting the roof. Had to test drive that with a crunched neck and ultimately walked away!

Thanks guys
6'2" with a long back and no headroom issues.

Do you have a freakishly long torso? Otherwise you’ll be fine.
That's me! I'm 6'2" but I'm folded in half a bit lower than most. Sun/moon roofs are a no go. I can raise the seat about 1/2 way and still have headroom but if I raise it all the way I'm hitting the ceiling!

Another thing to consider is your line of sight. I'm looking out of the top of the windshield and I have to duck a bit to look under the mirror before crossing traffic. If my passenger puts the sun visor down it's like a wall.
