An early 90s ford with a straight 6 isn't too big, reliable, and capable of fun.
(PS. I hate ford) can't believe I'm recommending one.

Dang ol ranger seems to be the best choice s10s of any year are trash
Stay away from cologne engines they tend to have problems
I got the 3.0 Vulcan in mine and it may be a little under powered but it does fine off-road also get the 5 speed the Mazda trannys are weak slush boxes
Also stay away from the carbaretted rangers they tend to be a pain too

What's wrong with Ford?

So, a 3.0L and which transmission? They have 5 speed manuals (Mazda mad them) and also 5 speed autos. I was really hoping to get a manual.

I'd recommend the 2.3l over the 3.0. But the 4.0 is a good engine too.

He meant the F150. Not the ranger

The f150 can't be that much wider than a ranger right?

There must be a reason why I'm not finding tons of pictures of older F150s off road.
