That looks decent. What are the numbers on it?

 

Not bad looking at all. Diesel will make it even better.

 

Honestly don't like it. I like the look of my flareside better.

 

??? never heard of it. When did this appear?

China & Russia...

 

Don't much more than what I read on the article. I am interested in the numbers as well. I will keep my eyes on it.

I won't buy a VW truck. I won't buy a Fiat Ram truck. And for sure I won't buy a Government Motors Chevy truck! Why are we asking this an F150 forum anyway?

 

To stir up the fanboys like you, of course!

Being that Ford got rid of the Ranger and hasn't replaced it with anything, no reason why we shouldn't look at all the small/midsize truck alternatives.

 

Ha no.

Baby trucks are gay. Ain't bad lookin' though.

 

I wouldn't trade my F150 for it but my son would be interested since he is in the market for a smaller truck. If it were diesel, it would definitely be a contender.

 

That is a Sport utility Vehicle with a miniature truck bed on it... kind of like the Subaru Baja... It's not even classified as a "truck" in my opinion.

A real truck to me is:
1. Regular cab format so you can barely haul another person around, and can legitimately make a reason why you can't take 5 other people anywhere.
2. Can easily slide a 1 foot stack 1/2" sheet rock without damaging it and being able to close the tailgate.
3. Ridiculously slow, noisy, smelly, and rides similar to an angry bull being slapped around.

Then again, that's probably why I don't work at Ford... their sales would plummet.

Hmm... maybe I ought to get a job as a lead designer at GM or Dodge? Want to make Ford stay #1 forever anyone?

 

^Single cab, 8 ft bed, anemic carb'd V8, and leafs on all 4 corners

 

haha!!

Now that's the way to do it! ^^

 

More like a Ridgeline in my opinion - and that's all the "truck" that a lot of people need. The only reason I bought a (used) F-150 is I couldn't find a Ranger or other small truck that wasn't overpriced, beat to crap, and/or with a 4 banger automatic. I don't need a big truck, and I don't like driving large vehicles anyway.

 

Just like my money to stay in the USA. They didn't get rid of the Ranger, you just need to move to Mexico to buy one. Even that money comes home.
