The 2000 ford ranger bed length is72" to 84 depending on if it is a short bed or long bed model. personally, for me, a long bed is always the number one choice, and that has a lot to do with how it looks. i would rather have more space than trade it off for more agility during the day to day rides. with that being said, thats only my sole opinion. shorter bed pickup trucks are vastly more popular than the long kind, particularly so if you live closer to the city, and there are certainly reasons for it. ill tell you this: if you never owned a pickup before, id highly advise first going for the short bed kind. you rarely can go wrong here, and if you ever feel in need of that extra space, the option for a long bed is always there; a bed extender can work great, too.
