You can come to Germany and buy a brand new Ford Ranger. I've seen a few of them around my small town. I've been thinking about getting one, recently. https://

A long time ago, I had an 84 S-10, and then an 84 S-10 Blazer. Those were great trucks.
- cmrdporcupine 5y agoThey're bringing the Ranger back here, too, but it's much larger than the classic 80s Ranger.
- opencl 5y agoThe current Ranger model is not just larger than an 80s Ranger, it's larger than an 80s F150!
- xattt 5y agoThat’s still the truckasaurus ranger that the OP was talking about. If any American manufacturer was serious at capturing the small truck market, they would have imported some Australian utes by now. Ford will be manufacturing the Maverick, which seems to be about the size of the older Ranger.
- yellowapple 5y agoEven the Maverick looks big compared to the 90-something Ranger my dad drove when I was growing up, though perhaps the apparently-mandatory crew cab has a lot to do with that perception. EDIT: also, is there seriously now 4WD/AWD option? That's unfortunately a non-starter for me (though if push came to shove I'd certainly take FWD over RWD).
- jandrese 5y agoThe crew cab thing drives me crazy. I had a '93 Ranger with standard cab and it was the perfect size. You can't buy anything like it today.
- checkyoursudo 5y agoAh, thanks, I didn't realize. They still seem a lot smaller than my Silverado, so ... but you're right, of course. My dad had a really old Datsun truck. If you wanted small, well that was a good candidate. To this day, I wish he hadn't gotten rid of it!
