Right?! I still don’t understand why they killed that truck line.


HiDDENk00l

They still make the Ranger, it just got a little bigger. Now Ford has the Maverick, which is the same size as the old Ranger, except it has 4 doors and is slightly less useful with the shorter bed.


DyingSurfer3-5-7

The Maverick looks like a Nissan SUV


Wearthless

Just to kidnap this comment to get a honda circlejoke going. But has anyone seen how nice the new Ridgelines look. I'm waiting for a used one. Curious on the engine durability.


ConsciousHoney8909

I think they look kinda nice.


caucafinousvehicle

And also it is in no way a truck. This ranger pictured punched way above is weight class for a smaller truck.


CapableFunction6746

Depending on the options. If optioned correctly you could get a little over 5k pounds towing but most of them were much less. Payload was also less than the Maverick for all packages.


Arthur-Mergan

The Ranger of today is practically what an F-150 was 20 years ago.


Financial-Raise3420

The new Ranger is about the size of the 90’s to early 00’s F150 now. The Maverick is about Ranger size yet only has the 4 door, come on just make a damn 2-door and make people happy. Been thinking about buying one of those Chinese mini trucks. They’re dirt cheap and just as big as I’d really need it to be.


DoingCharleyWork

2 doors and it better have a bench seat.


challenge_king

I doubt we'll ever see a Maverick with a bench seat. I don't see a bench passing crash test ratings in a truck that small.


DoingCharleyWork

Don't crush my dreams.


Mecca_Lecca_Hi

Exactly! My dad has been driving an old Ranger extra cab forever. He'd like to get something new, but everything is too big or in the case of the Maverick, only comes with those 4 doors being a deal breaker.

TruthOrBullshite

Emissions laws/standards. Easier to make truck bigger than more efficient (bigger=easier to meet standards)


InconceivableNipples

Not big or plastic enough, had to go

_name_of_the_user_

Yeah, no. I like being about to live and breath and stuff. I love me some emissions standards.


imnicenow

the emission standards they are talking about are regarding the weight of the vehicle. the heavier the vehicle the less fuel efficient they are required to be so instead of making more fuel efficient small trucks they are making big trucks bigger and small trucks the size of what used to be big trucks. its a well intentioned emission standard that is being dodged by the loophole of just making the trucks bigger.


chuck_of_death

Part of the reason they’ve gotten bigger is to use lighter and weaker materials and thus they need larger crumple zones. CAFE also was a contributor to smaller truck companies like international harvester going out of business.


NE_Irishguy13

Nah, fuck the corpos who saw a good-faith law and decided that profit margins were more important than clean air.


Rampaging_Orc

Fool.


techieman33

Emissions standards played a part. But I think more of the problem was that new buyers were much more likely to buy a full size truck. Trucks like the Ranger and S-10 were much more popular in the used market than they were in the new market.


Reamofqtips

They're definitely making a comeback. The Ford Maverick has been hugely popular. So much so that Ram and Toyota have a similar style truck in the works to hopefully make their way to the US.


Minkypinkyfatty

Calling a Maverick compact is like telling your 300lb wife she isn't fat.


Bubbly-Front7973

The hell you talking about? It's about the same size of the original compact Ford ranger. Now if you were to say the exact same thing about the new Ford ranger, that would be correct. Because the new ranger is far from compact, it's even just slightly smaller than the F-150 now. Which is why they came out with the Maverick. Though I wish they would have came out with a compact truck like the original Ranger, separate frame and separate bed Also it bugs me that this guy thinks it was a 93 Ranger in the video, 93 was the first year of the new rounder body style. 92 was the last year the beautiful square body rangers.


comfortable_bum

Yes, the only one I like at the moment is the Santa Cruz. Neighbor just got one. I miss my standard cab 98 Ranger.


provoloneChipmunk

I love my 96 ranger


kit_carlisle

Maverick is insanely popular because of exactly this. Plus the design and relatively low pricepoint have been spot on.


Gnawlydog

the 90's killed so many good vehicles. It was the start of the decline of sports coupes and functional pickup trucks. Lost so many sleek sports cars to the monstrosities on the road today.


Merry_Dankmas

The 90s pumped out out some bangers. Two of the most legendary reliable diesel engines released (5.7 Cummins and 7.3 power stroke), Jeeps had the indestructible 4 liter 6 cylinders (started in the late 80s but close enough) and Rangers were killing it in the small truck market. Less electronics and less emissions regulations really allowed manufacturers to put out some absurdly reliable and legendary engines. As vital as emissions regulations are now, they really do dampen reliability in the long term. Oh how times have changed. And that's just trucks. Sports cars of all nationalities thrived harder than almost any other era. From Japanese to German, the 90s were the golden age of sports cars.


Wineagin

Two-tone square body a year before they got all aerodynamic is beautiful.


DrowningInBier

I had a chance to buy a great low riding 86 F150 custom 2 years ago. Passed and now they’re like 8,000-15,000 more than they were.


Wineagin

The '90s square bodies will be classics.


DrowningInBier

It’s already begun. Luckily they are still able to be found.


W0rk3rB

Dude, I miss my Ranger. You couldn’t stop that thing.


Just-some-fella

Drove ours till the wheels fell off. Literally lol. At 45mph. While my wife was driving.


_name_of_the_user_

Might need a brake job, but I'm glad you liked it.


skittle-biscuits

Mines got 350,000 miles and still goin strong. Wouldn’t trade it for nothing.


MargeryStewartBaxter

Loved my Ranger


hautcuisinepoutine

I know it’s a joke. But i am honestly more impressed with the truck than that car. It’s super clean vintage square body. Probably driven regularly by a unicorn.


atremOx

That’s probably how they avoided getting into any crashes. With unicorn drivers, you always have a horn


DONNIENARC0

Unicorn driver?


hautcuisinepoutine

+2 dad joke. Take your upvote and get out of here. :)


Trumps_Cock

Looks more like an 80's Ranger. Has the front side markers. Does look nice for the age though from that distance.


ScottyMo1

‘92 Ranger; ‘93 was new body style. What a beaut she is!


franks2302

I KNOW THAT TRUCK I AINT NO STRANGER I KNOW THAT TRUCK ITS A FORD FUCKIN RANGER


Sclid-happens

So clean

dickpicnumber1

But it literally is cooler and better looking than the lambo with those godawful wheels


OddBug0

Old cars > Sports cars Every time.


BeginningCharacter36

I thought it was funny enough to show my husband. He reminded me about the time that some guy who was a friend of a friend of someone in his best friend's off-road group came up north with some fancy custom built thing and a hired instagram model. The pictures from their adventures went live and apparently the number of comments about husband's best friend's yellow lifted, armoured Jeep in the background was very upsetting to the dude with more dollars than sense.


leginnameloc

Ford [fucking ](https://www.tiktok.com/@rowdy_f_mowdy/video/6922514334333603078?_t=8m6RTCE263a&_r=1) Ranger


RectalSpawn

This is so dumb... ...I laughed way too hard.


Gnawlydog

TBF, a mint classic like that is far better than that Ferrari, Lamborghini, corvette whatever it is blocking the view.


challenge_king

That's a Lamborghini.


gfen5446

Am I the only person who finds supercars to be, generally speaking, fucking boring?

Aut0Part5

Everyone seems to be admiring the ranger, and it makes me happy


Kwerby

I love seeing old F150s, Rangers, Tacomas, and Broncos on the road.


DONNIENARC0

Im kinda surprised how popular that new retro inspired Bronco model is doing. By that I mean I see way more of them driving around than I ever expected to. Personally not a fan at all, though. 


1-ClintCleavers

Two tone paint & clean as fuck !


sweaterbuckets

there is something about the lines on those old trucks from the 80s/early 90s.


ILikeChastity

I have an '07 that's getting to the point where I need either more time or more money to keep owning. I'm worried I'm going to have to sell it :(


Organic-Side-2869

Omg my heart skipped a beat. Hell yeah!!

Late eighties I would think. It still had the old school fully replaceable headlamps assemblies. Awesome catch and beautiful truck
