Good question, industry standard by reviewing magazines is too move front seat all the way back and then measure both.

My son just turned five so I have good memories of our rear facing seat in my wife's 2014 Focus. It was very tight, but our seat was a 3in1 that had base that stayed in and the seat doubled as a carrier. If you have this type they are freaking huge. It will definately be more spacious in a Ranger than your Fiesta, even if your wife has to move the passenger seat up a little there should be ample legroom.I am 5'11 and my wife is 5'2. I have a 7 month old son who is in a rear facing car seat. Do you think there is enough room for a car seat in the back of the crew cab with someone in the front seat? In my Fiesta, the car seat is pressed up against the back of the front seat with the seat all the way up to the dashboard.
Nevermind should probably look at the date next time hahaDrove one today, I fit!!! Now it’s on to ordering...
Ric, it's not going to be a problem unless you're in the back seat. I'm 6' even and I have TONS of head room in the one I drove here at work. The back seat, well, even on the crew cab will be a tight fit for a 6 footer.I don’t fit in the other midsized trucks and I’m keeping my fingers crossed I fit in the Ranger. I can’t find any interior dimension specs. I can’t wait to sit in one.
(Add my two cents); I sat in a Lariat on Saturday (6'5" 36 inseam) and fit however I did knock my head getting into the driver's seat. Once in, had good head room and ok leg room. My daughter sat behind me (5' tall) and had maybe 2" of knee room within the cut-out of the seat back. That limited rear seat space and the bed being not quite as big as I thought, has me leaning toward a full-size now. Very nice truck regardless.I’m 6’2” and just sat very comfortably in the driver seat after sliding it back. The back seat was a little snug in the crew cab (with the driver seat still back) but I fit!
I finally got to check the Ranger out at one on my local dealers. They had a black Lariat on site.I posted this somewhere yesterday.... I sat in a Ranger Lariet SuperCrew in Kissimmee on Saturday. Didn't drive it as it was on the showroom floor. I'm 6', 165# with a 33" inseam. No issues whatsoever in the driver seat, with plenty of rearward adjustment still available after I had positioned the seat for my comfort. Leaving it in that position, I sat in the rear behind the driver seat. I had 2" of clearance between the seat back and my knees. The back seats sit upright, no leaning back, as is to be expected. They might become tiring on a long trip but passengers have the liberty of moving about whereas the driver.....
You are a smart guy to buy what fits you best, if the ranger were 6" longer I would have just kept my '01.I finally got to check the Ranger out at one on my local dealers. They had a black Lariat on site.
I got in the driversd seat and adjusted to my normal driving position, which was basically all the way back. I'm almost 6' 5".
I got out and checked the back seat. That rear leg room would have probably been acceptable for my grandkids. Not for an adult.
I also checked out a Colorado zr2 diesel crewcab. The Colorado seemed to have a little more rear leg room than the Ranger after positioning the driver's seat. (All the way back)
I went back to the Ford dealer and bought a F150.
If the Ranger would have been 6" more room in the back seat area, I would have bought the Ranger.
Good luck.
I am six foot three and sat comfortably in the driver's seat in a Ranger at the dealer's during a test drive. I had no headroom issues and ordered one soon thereafter; will take delivery in August. Since I will be the only driver of the Ranger in my family, I did not bother to try the other seats and so have no opinion....I don’t fit in the other midsized trucks and I’m keeping my fingers crossed I fit in the Ranger. I can’t find any interior dimension specs. I can’t wait to sit in one.
