Replacing the Ranger past 2009 or is the small trucks done for good?

[85_Ranger4x4]

Yep, but with a four foot box.

So it's not a real truck. Its an SUT.
(Sport Utility Truck) or whatever they call it.

......I kinda sorta want one.. later

Dakota Club Cab bed = 66"

Explorer Sport Trac bed = 50"

IMO it is a battle between two beds that are not long enough anyway, might as well get the one with the most interior room and the best ride for when I am pulling my dirtbike (which barely fits in my 6.5' F-150 bed) on a trailer.

Bet you anything Ford does the same thing Chevy did with the S10. Slap some new panels and a crummy motor in it (Inline 5) and call it a new pickup!!! Yeah!!!

psst! hey, I got the indside scoop:

apparently a Chevy Astro raped a Ford Escape, and this their illegitimate child

I'd say a Dodge Sprinter got in the mix somehow, but I don't think the Transit has a diesel.

can anyone say Sprinter van????

Sport Trac? Isn't that the Sport Light Utility Truck, or SLUT?

I knew there was a reason I had the urge to drive one but wasn't serious about buying one!

 

[RobbieD]

Well actually; it's better to just rent 'em, and drive her hard as you can.

If you bought one, you're stuck with them until you pay through the nose to be rid of her.

4 doors/crew cabs are gay. Trucks are for hauling cargo not hauling people. 5 foot boxes are a joke. If you want four doors you should have bought an suv or a car.

But yet they keep buying SUVs.

Stupid Americans... so stupid.

EDIT: Truck=full sized F-150 or 1500.

WTF do you need some much passenger space for anyways. I am willing to bet quite a few people on here also have cars or another vehicle with more room than there truck.

 

[koda6966]

I don't. And I can keep a German Shepard and a 12 Gauge back there in a supercab in case someone tries to jack me.

 

[napolron]

Hahahaha..... I wouldn't touch that thing with a ten foot pole. That thing is fugly!

Yea its ugly but it would be awesome for a small company delivery vehicle in the city, small 4 cylinder diesel, solid rear axle, built like a tank, Ford needs stuff like this. Europe loves that little van.
