I’m not that big but the Rangers were always too small for me and definitely seemed/sounded like a tin can.

The only pictures they’re showing at ford dot com indicate a full, four door crew cab and a 4 foot bed.

That’s not a Ford Ranger. It’s a joke.

Honda does NOT have a BIG truck.

It’s a ‘midsize’ and it works/drives/handles better than any other midsize.

Toyota has a full size truck, not Honda.

I love my 2009 Ranger. Best truck I ever owned.

I still have mine. Fortunately, it’s still in very good working order.

Are you a retired military officer? In my neck of the woods you would think they issued the Rangers to retiring O5’s and up.

"About time to trade it in............"

Recently, a good friend of mine died but before he did, he gave me his 2017 Honda Ridgeline truck with 4,234 miles on it. I use the Ranger to haul my dogs to the woods for our morning walks. Click on my name to see the Ranger and the doggies. I sold my 2002 Ford Taurus after I got the Honda.(So far, so good)

I had a ‘85 ranger with 350K miles when it blew the head gasket, so I gave it to my son-in-law.

He changed the engine and sold the original engine for $200 as-is.

Count on it being a disappointment for sure!

(and way over-priced for what it is)

A used wheel barrow is competition to the Ridgeline.

>>Ford remembered, now they have the niche to themselves............

No they don’t. They are almost LAST in this niche. Ever hear of Tacoma, Frontier, Colorado, Canyon?
