1. Sorry, I should have said “comparable.” An ‘85 RCLB 4x2 F-150 is not a fair comparison to a new SuperCab or crew cab 4x4 Ranger; it’d be better to compare a SuperCab/6.75’ 4x4 model (or the closest ones, since there were no seventh-gen SuperCab short bed 4x4 F-150s). Then we see that it’s longer in wheelbase and…

It’s still smaller than an F-150, so it may still fit in the garage.

It’s still smaller than any full-size pickup since the ‘60s.

And it’s a one-ton truck that rides terribly, with no crash protection. Stop comparing apples to oranges.

It’s not much bigger than the old one, and still smaller than any comparable F-150 since the ‘60s.

There will be a SuperCab/6' bed model as well. Ford and Chevy and other companies make a single cab/7.5' bed model of their overseas midsize pickups, but it doesn’t make any sense to sell them in the U.S.

It’s the same Ranger, the T6 platform.

If we do get an off-road version of the Ranger (which I think we will, if only to compete with the Colorado ZR2), it probably wouldn’t be called Raptor. Maybe Compsognathus.

You can get a SuperCab model with a 6' bed, same as the old Ranger. No one’s taking it away.

Which 2010 F-150 is 211" long? A RCSB is 213", and you can’t compare apples to oranges.

I couldn’t tell what you were saying at first, until I realized you were talking about a solid front axle.

The chart is from 2011, but the numbers remain the same. The 2011 F-150 is essentially identical to the 2017 model, having gained only a tenth of an inch in overall length and .7" in body width from the twelfth to the thirteenth generation.

Which 2010/11 F-150 was 211" long? Let’s see...

Both, to an extent. Since it’s over 8500 lbs. GVWR, the MPG of the Transit regardless of engine won’t contribute to Corporate Average Fuel Economy. And also since it’s over 8500 lbs. GVWR, the one engine that hasn’t already been EPA-certified for emissions (the 3.2 diesel) is exempt from the same standard that would…

It’s still smaller than any F-150 since the ‘60s. Sorry about the compression.

The Transits are all over 8500 lbs. GVWR (even the 150 “half-ton” model), so their engines don’t need to meet the same emissions regs.

Ford is a global company, based in the US.

Here’s a size chart:

You’re both correct, but to circumvent emissions regs, it’s only used in Transit 250 and 350s, not 150s (even though a Transit 150 is also over 8500 lbs. GVWR).

It’s not massive. It’s bigger than the old Ranger, yes, but still smaller than any F-150 since the early ‘60s. CAFE regs mean that any pickup the size of a RCSB Ranger would have to be FWD/AWD unibody.
