In this part of the world, when I drive by a auto parts store, drug store, furniture store etc. The delivery vehicles are Ford Rangers, the 2011 and earlier ones! Once in a while there will be a new Colorado, or a Frontier, with them but not very many. It is almost all the ten year and older...

Have an acquaintance that has a loaded 2019 Tacoma, stopped to visit with him the other day, he was was telling me how much he hated his truck. I told him how much I liked my Ranger, He was obviously unimpressed when I told him, it had a 4 cylinder. I gave him a ride in my Ranger, we hadn’t gone...
