If they gave me the Ranger in a crew cab, diesel with a manual tranny in a midsize platform, I'd be at the dealer now. I'd even take it over a Raptor. Although a Raptor version = badass to no end!!!

Needless to say GM, Toyota, and Nissan are going to dominate the small and midsize truck arena in the States and Canada. As well as Mahindra or however you spell it if they ever get it to the States. Ford is making a big mistake, and they will realize it. In today's economy it doesn't make a lot of sense for a lot of us to own large fullsize trucks, although I definately understand why people buy them. As a bigger person, 6 ft 3 and 230 lbs I love the interior space in fullsizes, but I really just have no use for one!
