re: New 2019 Ford RANGER - get in line.

I had a Ford Ranger, once upon a time. I liked it, but it was under powered.

General point about all small trucks: they are small trucks and you'd be surprised how often you'll find yourself saying, "wish this truck bed was bigger."

Trucks that size are all 99% of truck owners need.

Disagree. If you own a boat or a camper trailer that's not big enough to pull.

But more importantly, if you ever need to fit 4 adults then they are simply too small. I don't know why they can't manage something in between the F150 and this size. Tacoma back seats are not comfortable for more than 20 minutes for most full size adults. There's hardly any leg room too.

Also as said, if you ever need to move something like furniture a mattress or couch doesn't really fit in these beds. You can make it work, but you have to really strap them down.

What the frick is the market for a 4 cylinder bitch truck like that? Just get an F150 like a man.

the problem is not the size its the cost
for what a new tacoma/etc costs, you get more truck for just a little more money in a 1/2 ton

if they'd make a simple 1/4 ton without all the BS on it, i'd buy one tomorrow. its perfect for weekday use and even better off-road

Yeah Tacomas aren't cheap at all. I know the resale market is there, but still.

But you could get an SUV for the same purpose. Trucks are for hauling and towing, I don't see this being very good at hauling in a tiny bed. Not sure of the specs on the 4 cylinder for towing.

That’s a good looking truck. Mid size but has the look of a full size

My first truck I had was a new 97’’ danger Ranger. Had it a Year. Good memories. Was 15 and would hump anything warm with a heartbeat

Too small for me now. A lot of my friends had those in HS though

The new ones look damn near the same size as an F-150 TBH

Lolwut? That picture is nowhere near the same size

Almost a 2 foot difference in both of those measurements

Nice Chevy Colorado.
