Forced radio upgrade

The CD player on my '99 stock radio finally gave up the ghost. Looking for a good replacement which will still allow me to use CDs. Other features are welcome too. How is the radio measured to fit in the space provided and is my stock radio referred as a double din? Thanks y'all.

"The US standard for a DIN radio is 6.83" x 2" (although the actual 180 mm width converts to something like 7-3/32" so most people use 7-1/8" to allow for clearance) and the Double DIN sized radio is a 7" x 4"."

So 2" tall = single DIN, 4" tall = double DIN

Rangers came with standard sound systems and premium sound systems
Premium often had a separate amplifier, so the Head unit didn't have an amplifier it was just a tuner and player

How do you tell?
Have to pull out the current radio
