A bit dramatic for my taste, but not a bad looking vehicle.
I remember Ford kept advertising the Ranger for a short period.
"Best in class fuel economy"
"Best in class power"
"Best in class ...."
The Ranger, for a while, was the only "Small" truck. So yes, it was the best in class, because it was the only in class. I expect better than that from Ford. I like the Ranger (other than short gearing and no 6th gear), but I thought that was not an ethical advert.
Allegedly, the reason we have the Explorer Sports Trac is so Ford could keep the only Small class truck (the Ranger). Adding the two full doors would have made it too big- don't know the details, just heard this response from several representatives.
One of my all time favorite cars is still the Baja. Four cylinder turbo, five speed model. I'd love to drop the tailgate, make a boattail out to the edge, and just have a blast- hypermile in the city, slide around in the woods.
