In the 90s I had four new Rangers, one after another, when I was younger, and doing a lot of year-round travel, and had the money to trade every two or three years.

Had the STX package, big tires, manual transmission. Never enjoyed any other vehicle so much, before or after.

Prior to that I went through a couple Chevy S-10s, which weren’t half as well-designed or -made.

Back in ‘98 I was looking at the Ranger, the S-10, and the Dakota. The Dakota was just a bit too big (F150 was ‘way too big). I was going between S10 and Ranger, watching that rollover nailed it for me.

I had a 1986 4WD Ranger Extended Cab which I drove for about 20 years. Best vehicle I ever had. With a growing family, I finally sold it because I needed a bigger vehicle. I didn't really have room to keep another vehicle around but I wish I'd kept it.

I'm not really in the market for a new vehicle right now but the new Ranger might tempt me.
