It won’t be the same. The Tacoma is no longer a small truck. The Ranger won’t be either.
Nope. 2019's Ranger doesn't appear to be much smaller than an F-150.
Remember the first generation of American small trucks - the Ford Courier and the Chevrolet LUV? Those were really small trucks. Of course, they were manufactured by Mazda and Isuzu and branded as a Ford and Chevrolet, respectively. IIRC, I think that Dodge had a small truck, too, manufactured by Mitsubishi.
If I could find a decent mid- or late-70s Ford Courier Sasquatch 4x4 at a price less than ridiculous, I'd buy it.
