Guess you all have checked those specs. I will say it again it is closer to the Ranger in size than the F150.

When I bought my '93 ranger (in '93) that model had set an alltime record for the most trucks sold in one year Ever! 2.3L 5speed.27mpg I put 220,000 miles on it .still run like a charm when it got totaled in a snow storm I am looking for one like it to restore! I bought a 2004 super cab w 4wd and a 4.0L, The quality is gone. Ford "monsterized" it .(which seemed kinda cool at the time,But! I want my '93! In this age of high gas prices it would sell like hot cakes.A basic little truck.

I miss the manual, pedal operated washer pump on my '67 Mustang Fastback.

AND, we shold be able to turn on the windshield washer BEFORE we turn on the wipers so we don't scratch our damn windshields.

Exclamation

The stalk mounted wiper and dimmer switches are convenient, however.
I've been stuck at an intersection with the old foot dimmer switch and my left foot on the clutch, while the poor guy across from me frantically flashes for me to dim my brights.

In my humble opinion, Ford has made two blunders in the USA. One is to pull the Ranger, and the other is to pull the Crown Vick. Both of these vehicles were the best in their category.

As soon as I heard they were getting rid of the Ranger in 2011, I traded my 98 (it was time) on a 2010. I can't figure out why they got rid of it either. A lot of businesses around here have Rangers as their company trucks.

Same thing where I live. From meter readers to bug sprayers. Guess they will be forced to buy from Ford's competitors.
