New 2019 Ford RANGER - get in line.

I'll buy one.

Laser etch that R into a B and buy a vanity plate that reads Hard.

About time they build something to compete with the Colorado and Tacoma.

Too bad it's still a POS Ford.

Ugly. Why would they choose orange for a stock photo? Who wants an orange car?

You be color blind. That's amber, not orange.

Looks like they mixed a ________ with a _________.

The Ranger they canceled during the 2009 recession was the last true compact truck.

The Nissan Hardbody was replaced by the Frontier around 2006. The S-10 by the Colorado in 2003. The Tacoma grew in size around 2005.

I don't recall when the compact Mitsubishi Raider or Mazda B series were canceled. Probably in the mid 1990s.

I guess the market wasn't there. Seems like an affordable, lightweight, small pickup would be useful and particularly good off road.

Got so jealous of Tacomas they made the Ranger look like it

And both look a lot better than Chevy/GM in that class

Everything looks like a Tacoma.

Looks like a Colorado with a Tacoma grill to me.

This Ranger only has one engine. A gasoline 4 cylinder.

I like the styling of the Colorado, Canyon, and Tacoma more than the Silverado, Sierra, or Tundra.

I like the styling of the Ranger more than the F150 too. Trucks look stupid when they are oversized with giant cabs.

If I were convinced that Ford could build something that lasted more than 5 years, this Ranger would be an ideal size. It would probably be a rocket with the 5.0L engine.

Looks like a combination of the two...
