I remember growing up in the 90’s wanting a Ranger or a S10, now I couldn’t imagine comfortably driving one of those or the newer mavericks. Attached File |

Particularly in Cleveland and Detroit. My 2018 Raptor is just a little big for it. So I bought the ranger to try it out. I may end up selling it later this year and either invest in a super charger, tuning and bottom end work on my Bullitt Mustang. Or I might sell it and my 2018 Raptor for a 2025 Raptor F150. I haven’t really decided yet. Going to put a few miles on the ranger to decide how I feel about it. |

Decent trucks for the time but I HATED driving or riding in that bodystyle of truck. I've been over 6' from 8th grade and I am a wide body apple chested individual at 239, and 47 years of age. Any time I was in one because of the taper of the roof and way the cab pinches in, the side of my head was always bouncing off of the door side headliner.
Always had to scrunch down like a closeted fag in the passenger seat of a miata. Had an associate back in the day when stationed in Hawaii, since we were .mil we could petition the State and Air Force for camping permits up by the radar instalation on the north shore. We went in dry and dusty and left wet and muddy. We spent about half a day screwing around on the trails on the way to to the camp site hidden up there.[img]/images/smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif[/img I think it was just an overnight trip. I think there were maybe 3 or four "couples" that went. Anyways we got tired of being covered in dust and the beer wasn't getting any colder. So we bedded down for the night. Next day we head out mid morning and about 15 minutes into our ordeal heaven opens up. Immediately slow and low on red clay. There was a nice little climb about 20 minutes away, we get there and we kinda figured out having everybody in the box was just a disaster waiting to happen. We spread out and send one vehicle up at a time. I''m the anchor in my YJ and this guy in a 2WD Mazda 4500 or similar chickens out. Talks to his girlfriend and she approaches me. Says so and so is lacking in confidence and would like me to take charge and top the hill. I trying to build up his confidence and self reliance, try to talk him into doing the needful. He takes a pass. So like any old Duke boy, I sadled up and let her rip! I didn't have traction, but I did have momentum, and I swear to God, I thought tires screeching on dirt was Hollywood bullshit until I experienced it. I was all smiles passing them on the downhill to pick up my heap. |

My wife likes her 2017 JKU, but to me it feels a bit small. The maverick feels bigger than the Jeep to me. I’m 6’3” and 260lbs, after a good breakfast. |

It’s small can get into tighter spaces, can actually hand load it, AND reach the passenger window cranks. Several other Toyota pickups have come and gone. About 5 3/4-1tons have come and gone, one 1/2 ton. Toyota is not gonna go anywhere…90% might swap it on a extra ext cab long box frame we have with the single cab and make a lightweight aluminum 8ft+ dump bed for it…😂..100% use for it too. Modern trucks are ridiculous in size.🙄 https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/64672/2F66F40C-CAD0-4478-9BF0-34D9AE339E7C_jpe-3198054.JPG ETA: should probably wash the toyo truck, i thinks it’s been a couple years.🤦♂️ A 2wd Yota is just tiny, even for 1988. My 1986 Nissan hardbody with a short box, single cab and 4wd dwarfs your Toyota. Still a mini truck. Modern vehicles are huge. The Tesla the parks next to me at work every day makes my German station wagon look tiny. No doubt. The Toyota 2wd single cab short box is supposedly 2442lbs curb weight. So with a GVWR of 4400lbs, that means a payload of 1958lbs? 92lbs less than a 2019 ram 2500 diesel….🙄🤨 After adding a 200lb driver/gear and full fuel, the Toyota has 37lbs MORE payload than a diesel 2500…😂🤦♂️ Still have a 95 pathfinder hardbody. ALSO arfcom special…manual tyranny/windows and 4x4.😂 Also have lots of miles in a hardbody pickup like yours. |

2002 Ranger xcab 4x4 fleet model, auto with 4.0. No power anything, no cruise and just the very basic of radios (might swap it out for a cheap double din unit from Amazon).
It does have some of the coldest AC I've ever felt. You can meat in that thing. I love it. |

I really do like the new Rangers.
I had a 1993 Ranger with the 2.3L and a 5 speed manual transmission and it was a single cab I ran great and handled like a sports car What I remember most about it is that I put almost 80K miles on the Firestone 408 tires, I changed them at 80K because I felt way to lucky to go any more miles |
