I used to lurk on a F150 forum and the haters were always going on about getting a F150 for the same money or a little cheaper. But they were always comparing a xl or a heavily discounted xlt to a fully loaded lariat Ranger. Besides some of us just want a little more compact truck but they don't want to hear that.

What sold me on the Ranger over the F-150 is that it's a much more playful truck. My first "nice" vehicle I owned was a 1999 Ranger Sport 4x4. I like the size of a mid-size truck because it feels more realistic in day to day life for me. Also, the 2.3L Ecoboost mated to the 10R80 trans feels like a good combination. The fact that they use the 10R80 in high horsepower applications is pretty re-assuring as well. Makes me think that this truck should last a while.

Why would you buy a Ranger instead of a F-150 is like asking why you would buy a Tacoma instead of a F-150 but this equivalency seems to be lost on most people for some reason. Different size trucks exist for different sorts of needs and wants.

Or more like, "Why would you buy a Tacoma versus a Tundra?" or "Why would you buy a Colorado versus a Silverado?". It's the same silly question regardless of the manufacturer.
