This is definately an improvement over the 05-07 model. The front end looks better and the interior (while not breath taking) is an improvement. This truck has hints of the 97-04 Dakotas and that's definately not a bad thing.
BTW - What does Ford have planned for the Ranger? Why is there no 4 Door version yet?
Puzzling why Ford lets a product get stale like they have with the Ranger.
