The 4 doors still have beds? 

You don’t see rangers and S10s for the same reason you don’t see Dakotas. They were low quality products that didn’t last. They’re all in junk yards because they weren’t worth the cost to keep repairing. They were basically giant pieces of shit. Like all American cars from the 90s.

Sure, I am an original Ranger owner, for over 28 years! I had a 1993 XLT Supercab with the 4.0L engine, even had a camper shell. Just sold it hours after posting on Craigslist for $4,000 (a grand more than I originally wanted), even though it had terrible paint, falling down headliner and 200,000 miles!

I don’t get this romantic idealism about a tiny truck in single cab form. The international market is the reason why we have 4-door mid-size trucks to begin with, because they figured out that they can be so much more than a bed with two seats. These are places in the World where they have limited budget & space to…

I think it’s case by case. I own a 92 Chevy k1500 I bought for $2000 about 8 years ago with only 82k miles. It costs me next to nothing to own, insure, maintain, and it pulls up to 7000lbs. For me it’s a 2nd car. And I use if for projects where I don’t want something hauled inside my car, and I tow a trailer about 8 ti…

I’ve used mine for family and hauling, even both at the same time. I can fit a full weeks worth of beach vacation gear, suitcases, etc in the bed with a tonneau cover on it to secure it from the elements and eyes, and have a very comfortable cabin inside for my family. No need for a rooftop carrier and I can just…

Never.

I think you need to stop fucking vehicles.

Sure you don't need a kei pickup?

Is the bed that much smaller? The “old” (pre-12) Ranger had a 7’ box max, but most trucks had a 6’ bed.  The Maverick gets four real seats and a 6’ bed with the tailgate down.  Yeah you’re sacrificing maybe 9” of bed space, but you’re getting a back seat that can fit humans.  My point is, seems like a small compromise…

I think the Maverick is pretty perfect for the size of my dick

Well, the bed is smaller, thanks to every modern pickup trucklet having to be a four door these days.

Avis blows balls.

They once rented me a Camry that THEY had switched out the license plates with another vehicle. As the story goes, the Camry had its license plates stolen, but they had just sold a Ford Expedition that they still had the plates for. So, they threw the plates from the Expedition onto the Camry, and…

I’m guessing it won’t be long before some enterprising aftermarketeer will unleash some absurd heckblende to ruin the whole look (apologies if you’re into that sort of thing).

I’m big Toyota fan, if the supra looked this good, there would probably be one in my driveway. I honestly don’t care if it’s slower. This isn’t absolutely gorgeous car. If it’s 3,000 lb - even better. Even if it’s 3,500 lb and 400 horsepower, that’s okay. I’d still take it over the Supra. And under $40,000 is a big…

This and the Supra don't really compete anymore IMO.  This is all Japanese, all muscle.  Not some small German "thing".

Just perfectly done

As a fellow ass-appreciator, I couldn’t agree more. Could have been easy to screw it up but they did a perfect job integrating those tail lights.

They left off an important figure: what does it WEIGH? The outgoing 370z is 3400+, I’m worried this is going to be up over 3500 with the twin turbo power plant, which will be a significant downside vs the Supra. Hopefully they managed to shave some weight from the chassis and I’m wrong, because it looks great and has…
