The F150, Siverado, 1500, Titan, Tundra are just too damn big.. look at their size in the 90's and then the 2k's... the current f150 is inches away if not inches over a 90's F350...
Anyone seen a F450 or was it 650? its a "mini" Semi, its hilarious.
The current Ranger is about the size of a F150 from 2k's maybe a wee smaller...
If I manage to convince my wife that a truck is good - the "big ones" wont happen...and also the 150, silverado, 1500's cost is "TOO DAMN HIGH!" *insert meme*
There are a bunch of 2019 Rangers floating around locally, and from reading prices paid forums- I should watch stock levels and end of March I should be able to get a Lariat for 10-13k off MSRP and that puts is where I want in price.
I still want a Volvo XC90..but I want a fairly loaded one...and I wont get one without a warranty (that I am willing to buy) because the reports on "modern" volvo reliability is A++++ or "OMG THE CHINESE SHIT ALL OVER VOLVO" so, I dont know what to trust and with all the gizmo's etc I dont wanna ever "pay" to fix it... my extended warranty on my wifes Infiniti qx60 has already paid for itself with 1 transmission sensor and driver airbag INSEAT? sensor fix.
If I get a truck, I still want the same lane keeping, blind spot stuff, cruise control etc...and I am factoring in extending factory for new or certified or 3rd party for trucks also..
As for the Honda Ridgeline, it has mixed reviews on "Is it /really/ a truck" and its more "TRUCKY TRUCK TRUCK" abilities not standing up to a F150 etc... yet... on the honda and ford sites- it compares the ridgeline to the ranger & tacoma & canyon, not the 1500, f150, tundra...
I am not mudding, I am not crawling, and heck, I am not even looking to tow anything near stated capacity of the ranger or ridgeline (5k-ish?) heck technically my QX60 has a rate to 5000lb tow..
And... Honda's are if anything stupid reliable...and that should follow in their truck...as...it yes...is a Pilot with its 3rd row and trunk replaced with a bed.
