I think it looks pretty cool. If I do ever buy another new truck it will be a midsize 4 door and I might just go with the Colorado/Canyon trucks. I have friends who love their trucks and I have driven several of them and liked the ride.

True, but for all intents and purposes "that" ranger is a whole different truck so I really don't consider it a ranger. Isn't it a different, frame, body, engine, axle, etc?

Too bad GM made it, I might consider it if it was made by Ford. I saw several turbo diesel 4 door rangers in Thailand last week. Damn nice trucks- its a sin they don't make them here.

Looks like some hillbilly cut the back of an uplander and mounted a new Malibu grille to it. Yuck. I'm sick of people wanting trucks, but then want them to be cars, thus carmakers turn trucks into p.o.s. crossover bullskeet.

I have no desire to call that rather confused looking vehicle mine...

Being slightly larger than a Tacoma probably makes it the same size as the last generation of half tons anyway... :icon_rofl:

That seems like a truck a lot of people would buy for looks. It doesn't look like a good work truck at all.

No joke.

I'm assuming that the picture is of their "west coast" for fun themed one, and the work truck version would be a bit more utilitarian; but you what assuming does...
