Have you seen the new Rangers? They’re at least as big as the F150 used to be.
As a fan of the old Rangers, it’s disappointing to see them that big.
It’s an unfortunate result of generations of inbreeding.
Those parking spaces, though… I hope European parking spaces never grow to similar sizes.
I love my gen 3 ranger, it’ll be a sad day when I have the let the ole F-50 go. she takes up less space than my wife’s Subaru. always gives me a chuckle
Why would you compare a truck 3+ class sizes up? It literally tows double the weight and has 3 times the TQ.
Yes, there are different sized trucks for different use cases. Yet, larger trucks became the norm and smaller trucks essentially disappeared. Did everyone start hauling more? Somehow I doubt it.
I have a big truck. I got it to haul our travel trailer, but we don’t have our trailer anymore. I would love to downsize but there aren’t a lot of options these days. I would love it if Chevy brought back the S-10. They stopped selling it 20 years ago, around the time everyone started to convince themselves that they needed a half ton or larger truck.
But they’re driven by the same kind of people.
Any data on that whatsoever? I live in farm country and a 3500/350 are exceedingly rare as dailies.
Please link me the 2016 axios. I can’t wait to tear into it.
