The Ford Ranger Is Finally Back

All the auto companies went ‘BIG’, even Toyota, Nissan and Honda. They forgot that not everybody needs a big truck. Ford remembered, now they have the niche to themselves............

Growing up I have at one point or another owned a '79 Toyota pickup, '89 Mazda B2000, '90 Ranger, and a '96 Nissan hardbody. All of them were what were known as compact pickups. Perfect for what I needed in a truck.

Nobody makes these things anymore. Today I drive a '15 Tacoma. I love it but compared to my old trucks, it's just massive. Way more than what I need in a pickup.
