Last fall he posted that he had a work gig that was going to be long days and maybe 7 days a week for many months. I thought he'd be back after the 1st of the year.

He may have run off and got married. You see the blonde he is dating...very attractive lady.

This is not correct. The Ranger is a great mid sized truck.

I've said it before, Rangers are solid rigs. My S/O has had hers for 24 years and it still runs and operates fine. I've done the front brakes twice and shocks once and plugs once.
A good friend bought one new in '93 and put over 580,000 miles on it. The spare engine he bought at 200k miles 'just in case' was never needed. He sold it last year for $3500. ( I think it was $5000 new)
Rangers have a full boxed frame, solid driveline, and are a handy size with better seating than Toyota or Nissan. And for what a lot of pickup drivers do, all the truck needed. I have a first gen Tundra, which is slightly smaller than the new Tacoma and new Ranger, but it's a v8, rear wheel drive 4x4 the size of a '69-'72 C-10 or F-100, and fills my needs perfectly. Where I go and what I do, a late model, full size pickup is too obese to fit the trail. I don't need grilles that are 6 feet tall and load heights that are 5 feet off the ground just to 'look tough'. **** all that hype.

Need a truck get a truck not a clown cart.

At your size, you'd look like a clown in an F-450. Size 14 feet. Jesus.

I'm just glad that Big Bob has found, and obtained, internet access.

Had a set on my '69 Nova. I sold it to my neighbor and he still has them on the car.

It's a mini-truck that has absolutely zero chance of stopping my race trailer before the middle of the intersection, and would take me roughly 17 minutes 0-60. I ditched an F-150 because it was too weak.

Still have a pair of 15x10's reverse mags in my garage had them on my '79 Firebird with L60's.Swapped out the rear axle for a Richmond posi geared 3;73 out of a 74 Trans Am and new WS6 six leaf springs.Ran a hopped up 400 could do dry doughnuts all day with it.Still miss the car but not the speeding tickets.

It's not mini. Your dick wagging is amusing.

Technically the Ranger is a midsize truck. And it's doubtful anyone buys one to haul a race trailer.

This exactly. They don't make mini trucks anymore. Today's mid size trucks are the same size as 1990 and earlier full size trucks. When trucks looked like trucks and not ****ing gargoyles.
After 2006, the size and styling got obese and excessive. And the GM stuff is downright FUGLY. Especially the Chevy with the Edsel front grille. WTF?
