Yet Ford killed off the Ranger. And Dakotas aren't getting any smaller. A nice 2011 Ranger brings as much money at the auction now as they did when they were new, so there's obviously a demand for them - I don't get why simple, small trucks are not way more prevalent in the market. Try and find a new regular cab, 4 cylinder, 5 speed 4x4 Tacoma even, they never even sold them in Canada! I looked at buying one new out of the States a few years back when the dollar was at par just because I don't think those will even be around much longer, if you can still even get them.

Edit: I see Toyota USA still sells them, so there's still some hope lol
