The new Ford Ranger is poo poo and is a mid-size pickup competitor.

Its what Ford sells over seas. Fugly.

I want a mother loving light duty pickup.

Ford was floating the idea of a Focus-based light pickup recently. Basically a pickup version of the Transit Connect

Alot of them become fleet vehicles. Quite a few are "given" out for promotional purposes. Frank sees it a few times and desire takes hold and you make a sale.

I will probably lick whatever you put in front of me.
I bought a 16 tacoma with 10k miles on it for 10k less than it sold for new. And dude that had it put in leather seats and trim and a nice truck cap thing which the dealership doesn't care about charging you for. Wouldn't buy one new though.

I wish my old truck could have held out three more years so i could consider a used ranger.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

If you want a simple truck Nissan still makes the Frontier which has been sold almost unchanged since....2004?

They're super cheap compared to the brodozers that pass for 'light duty' trucks these days, Nissan probably wants to get rid of then to make room for more gray CUVs on their lots.

The only crying is done by everyone financing their trucks and accessories when they decimate their credit score, or maybe the creditors with tears of joy?

Truck work is a couple of bags of potting soil and picking up free filing cabinets on the side of the road

Hey, chances are if you’re towing 12 tons of something it’s probably pretty important to you. That’s your livelihood back there, OK? So you’re gonna want to keep it from swaying back and forth like hippies around a campfire. No sweat. Introducing the all-new 2011 Super Duty. It’s got the most towing power, and now an advanced trailer sway control system. And it’s standard. Yeah, that’ll take the white out of your knuckles. Kumbaya, baby. The all. New. Super Duty.

I remember when I watched back to the future thinking that truck he wanted was badass. I rewatched it not too long ago and lol’d at how outdated it was.

Catching old Dallas episodes is good for laughing at our tastes back then. Billionaire JR Ewing driving some old rear end truck. lmbo

I wonder what we’ll have in 20-30 years.

Outdated? Bro those Toyota trucks go for silly money and are the new classic cars. It isn't Barracudas or Chargers or whatever, it's Supras and Toyota Trucks.

In 20-30 years people are going to unironically lust after H2s and Escalades, it's already starting with jellybean Taruses.
