Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater head- and legroom, passengers in the extended cab will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Honda Ridgeline than in the Ford Ranger. The Ford Ranger will be a favorite with tall drivers and their passengers, since it has much greater head- and legroom than the Honda Ridgeline.
