Wouldn't the Ford Maverick be the modern version of these? It comes in two different forms as far as I can tell - the "truck shaped car" (FWD, hybrid powertrain), and the "small truck" form (4WD, no hybrid, rather lower fuel economy), depending on what you need it to do. And in a small truck, I think FWD vs the 2WD/RWD Rangers is probably the right option - some of those were pretty tail happy in the slick.
- renewiltord 4y agoIf the Maverick were slightly less tall and (more importantly) 2 door or crew-cab they would be a lot more useful. The usable bed is so small you can't get anything done. Instead I have to wait for a good condition 20-30 year old Ford Ranger.
