I wonder why the small pickup segment is disappearing in America? You don't see F150's in England.


(No offense to our more chubby members, since they obviously didn't buy into the crap and bought a Ranger despite their size)
I think I qualify well beyond what qualifies as big. At 6'6" and at what is probably beyond a healthy weight. Im a big dog, and I fit in my ranger with plenty of room to spare. The F-150, or any fullsize truck these days are just way too big for most people's needs. Then again, this is America. Go big or go home. I personally think shit has got way out of hand. I understand needing a truck 9 foot high with some absurd towing and carrying capacity /IF/ you actually need it, but most people I see with these bigass f1/2/350s have never seen anything that resembles work. Ford killing the ranger is a big mistake, but what do we know? We are just lowly consumers.
