Anybody else wish their Ranger was shorter and lower??

[orangegrower]

I am coming from a 2003 Range that has been my go to vehicle. I love that truck and may sell it someday. The new truck just seems huge. I am struggling with parking it and it's size. I feel like I have been driving an F-16 and now I am driving a B-52. I guess I will get used to it but I wish it was a little shorter and not as tall. I would have bought the extended cab if the overall length would have been shorter.

Nope, I actually want it bigger so I added a 2.5" level and a little larger tires. You'll get use to it after a few more miles and you won't even notice the difference in size. I've always had a full size truck so the Ranger is like a toy to me. lol I love the size and the way it handles and you can squeeze it into just about any space you need. I would've went bigger on the tires and a full lift but it's my daily driver and didn't want to kill my gas mileage.

Give it some time... you'll adapt once you do a bit more "Roam"'g.

I will give you a call when I need it squeezed in.

That's getting a little personal.

I thought we were all friends here.

I’ve had four previous Rangers based vehicles, I love the size of this one. It’s not much bigger than my 03 Sport Trac.

Yes, I know what you mean. I love the tech and safety, but the size is a bit much. I'm waiting to see what Ford's small pickup looks like.
(Old Lone and New Lone front ends. And not me.)

Koons seemed to have the best prices. If I was closer or had no trade that’s where I’d shop.

These are my two Rangers. The '96 is fun to drive (5 spd) and will do almost anything I ask. It has the 4.0L V6. Bought it new. Nothing wrong with either size IMO. The '19 (Copperhead) has waaaaay more power and of course is roomier. I like the way the '19 sits you up a little more than the '96. I just hope that Copperhead lasts as long as the '96 lasted, which of course it is still being driven occasionally.

There are continuing rumors that Ford may come out with an even smaller truck. There's definitely a market, the question is how big a market.

I preferred the one that looked to be based on the Fusion

Tell me you gave the 96 a name too!

Not too hot...not too cold...just right

You'll need a time machine to ever see a new small pickup truck again...

That’s a Fiat Toro with a Focus front end photoshopped on.
