I am seeing quite a few Rangers floating around town, mainly driven by old guys but hey, they are getting out there.

I do wish they would wake up and start doing F-150 style rebates on them.

Kinda torn though, a '19+ would be nice for these long distance TRS events but I would feel really bad leaving the '85 at home...

I wouldn't really gain anything by hauling the '19 if I am not going to take it on a trail...

If i didnt have my camper i might actually look at one. I thought they were ugly till i seen them in person...they actually are kinda sharp if you get the extended cab and 6 ft bed.

I gotta have the 4dr, a 6’ bed with a crew cab would be nice if they could do that.

I dont need the people space. I wish they had a reg cab with a 7ft box personally. I could deal with a 6 but any shorter is worthless imo.

I think ive used the backseat on my 3/4ton three times for people in 6 years lol.

Same here although my dog rides back there a lot.

The getcha now is I don't think our car seat will fit in the back seat of my '150 very well if at all.

That 97-03 style trucks seemed to be even tighter in the back then the 92-96s did.

The 2019 replaced an SUV, so I needed the people space over bed space. I have the 2011 for bed space. Though, a crew cab with a 6’ bed would be nice. But then, it would kinda defeat the benefit of a shorter truck on trails.

The 2019 isn’t that much bigger than the 2011 to be a big detriment. Anything bigger might be too much.

And both have or will have roof racks if I need to carry anything longer than what the bed can handle.
