    I used to have a ~'99 ranger. Loved that thing. Now the closest thing Ford has is the maverick which is not only bigger overall but it has a smaller bed so it’s less useful.

      '10 B2300 driver. Why will no one make a real compact pickup instead of a movie theater with a 4 foot box?!?

        A gmc sierra 5.3L full sized truck of the same age gets the same fuel economy and is just as reliable

        I love Ford rangers but they are surprisingly not as efficient as people think

            Do you actually get that fuel mileage? I go off roading with a guy who has that truck and his isn’t even close, it has a truck topper though and is 4x4

              Yeah, I filled up 45L yesterday with 550 on my trip odometer. It’s the 2wd with the small cab and a cover not a cap.
