What year F150 and what year ranger?
3.0 or 4.0 Ranger?
Automatic F150 (very common) vs. 5 speed Ranger (very common)?
4x4 or 2x4?
FWIW, my '92 Reg Cab, long bed 5 speed 4.0 4x2 Ranger got about 5 mpg better than my SuperCab, '99 F150 4x2 F150 w/3.55 gears.
My dad had a mid '90's 3.0 Ranger extended cab 4x2 with 5 speed and he would get 30 mpg on the highway and 26 mpg all ardound driving, about 10 mpg better than his '01 V6 F150 Supercab with auto and 3.55. He drove slow, though.

Anyway the difference between a Loaded 4x4 4.0L Ranger SCab and a reg cab/shorty 4.2L/5-speed base F150 might be close, but that's not a fair comparison.
While my old 94 2.3L SCab Ranger averaged around 25 MPGs, I'll take the increased utility of my SCab F150 and ~5 less MPGs average.

Well....I've owned both. My 2003 Ranger 4.0, auto, 4x4 long box reg. cab never got any better than 17mpg. My 2005 Ranger X-cab 2x with 4.0 and auto would get right around 20 mpgs. My 2007 F150 with 2x, 4.2 and auto gets 20 mpg. Given the choice I would rather ride in a f150 than a Ranger. That is all......

I got rid of my 2003 2wd 4.0 auto Scab ranger with 3.55s for my current 2004 F-150 FX4 (5.4 auto 3.73) scab. I got 15-18mpg in the ranger and 15.5-18 in my F-150. Th choice to get a bigger truck with more capabilities with more options, better looks, and something I fit in was a no-brainer. From what I have read, the 4.2 in an F-150 gets similar mileage to the 4.6, which is usually 1-2 mpg better than the 5.4
