what engine is it?

air restriction./dirty air filter
injectors
pump - there may be a screw to control flow rate of the pump, you can turn it down if too much fuel is entering the chambers
turbo not boosting / boost leak

Redline Cetane Boost and Fuel Additive will help somewhat

It's an LD20-11 engine(non turbo). Changed the air filter and also used redline treatment through the pump. Spoke to someone and they suggested the injector pump/timing being off by 1 tooth or so??? But i'll check the fuel adjustment and see. Thanks

It's a known problem with the older model mazda b2500 / ford ranger.. I didn't expect to see this popping up on the newer models..

We had almost identical symptoms to yours and they actually went away after some minor servicing.

There was a coolant leak on the lower radiator hose where it connects to the block, so that accounted for the coolant loss.

The glow plugs were bad, so that accounted for the rough idle when cold. Also the engine idle speed was set a little too slow.

I'd check those 1st and my fingers crossed it's that simple a fix..
