good points..yeah, nothing really compares to the ranger in both size and reliablility and even the price tag for that matter..i have always love rangers and always will, and believe me the competition makes it hard not to love the Ranger...i think GM compact pick-ups are now second-class and have dropped much since the days of the sonoma and s-10 because at least they were good, capable and that bullet-proof 4.3L Vortec engine was just admirable..also, they only thing the dakota has is the optional V8...Rangers is in a league of its own and i bleieve only the frontier and tacoma are even comparable
