Should we just call it the F140? Bloody "YUUUGE" and heavy too!

[fixizin]

Crikey, finally seen a few of the new "Rangers" up close, and there ain't NUTHIN' small or even "mid-range" about it!

Since it's 94% of the way to an F150, gotta ask... what is the PRICE difference??

 

[bobbywalter]

Err....what?

 

[sgtsandman]

The F150 is about $10,000-$15,000 more as long as you are comparing similarly equipped and trim models.

It comes down to is the Ranger enough for what you want to do or do you need more.

Conversely, if the Ranger is too much, will the Maverick meet your needs?

Each has it’s plusses and minuses. Do you want 4X4? Do you need a bigger bed? Do you need a Super Crew Cab?

The new Ranger is mostly just taller than the old one, especially the bed sides. Without hashing it out too much (we've done that numerous times already here), it's more of a cosmetic difference than one of physical dimensions.

I'm sure somewhere we can get side by side pics of them

Every body style except the Splash, and the "01-03" fascia

How would you recognize a Splash from the front except by height? All the body panels were the same.

Splash's had specific grills IRRC. But your right, that middle truck, "could" be a Flare side. It's the only one that has the bed covered in every photo. BUT that looks like yours, and yours isn't a flare side, is it?
EDIT: Splash had Mono-Chrome grills

This is the middle truck (mine).

WOW, you got me. I didn't think yours was a flare side. Still not a Splash, but OK.

Truck went splash though?

Splash is third gen only.

 

[Ranger850]

OK, EVERY body style there, EXCEPT "01-03" grill

Grilles are body styles?

Doesn't look like it.

Ford Ranger Generations 1983-Present

Introduction: There has been questions concerning what years make up which generation of Ford Rangers. I think the problem came from the re-release of the Ford Ranger. A number of freelance writers, 'journalists', 'automotive writers', and 'automotive experts' have been seizing the opportunity...

No. I was just saying "that" type of grill was missing. Sorry I didn't word it correctly.
