I still really like the old Ranger size.  I wanted one, but found a 94 Mazda B3000 still on the dealer's lot in 95.  I raised the hood and every sticker on the engine said FOMOCO.  I did a little research and found out it was made in the same plant as the Ford Ranger, just rebadged as a Mazda.  I bought it and drove the snot out of it for four years.

During the time I owned it if O'Reilly's didn't have a part listing for the Mazda, I asked about the same part on the 94 Ford Ranger.  Yep, the parts fit and functioned just fine.  Still wish I had that truck, it was the perfect size.

Now do half ton trucks from the 1960 and 2020s. Comically different. All for safety but also lightened so we can get 20+ mpg.

I daily drive a 94 4.0 5 speed nanual I bought new. Doing everything I can to maintain it. I've noticed same as OP...personally though I don't really like the new ones.

But anyways....mine has 180k I've put on it...hard miles although I have taken care of it and kept maintenance up. Lots of city stop and go, lots highway. TBH...the 4.0 is great, but I think the rest of the truck will fall apart around the motor.

Here's my 2003 Ranger. It's as plain as plain can get. Two-wheel drive, four-cylinder, standard cab with bench seat and hand-crank windows. It does have non-functioning AC and a sliding rear window, though. It's a rough-riding sumabitch. Feels like a buckboard.

I paid $3,000 for it when I bought it in 2007. At the time, it had 122,000 miles on the odometer. Seventeen years later, the odometer now reads 128,000. Obviously, I don't use it much, but when I need to move something or haul some brush to the burn pile, it's sure handy to have.

Ditto, been looking for either a ranger, taco, or GM of that size.

It’s fucking annoying that all you can get nowadays are essentially full-size trucks, or XL sized.

My wife has a 2024 Maverick.  My daughter has a 2002 Sport Trac and my son has 1994, 1996 and 1997 Rangers.

It's interesting to see the spread of size.

I think Ford nailed it with the Maverick.
I went on a road trip last year in a friend's new Maverick.  We had fun parking it next to late 90s rangers and S-10s, depending on the models involved the maverick was larger.

The Maverick isn't small, but the bed height isn't outrageous.

My metric for light pickups is Datsun 620/720s though which are even smaller than the 90s Rangers.



It's crazy, when the Ranger first came out it was a midsize truck.

the angle of the photo exacerbates this but yes its bigger. Bedsides (really beltlines) are higher on newer vehicles in part for crash safety standards, which raises the bedside. Also, it is nowhere near the size of an old F150. F150 has been 80" wide for 40+ years. New Ranger is somewhere around 74-75" which makes a big difference.

TLDR new ranger sits higher suspension wise and has higher bed sides.

Agreed.  I used to own a 1991 F-150 2wd, and when it was parked next to a new Ranger, it was shorter AND less tall than the new vehicle.

It's no secret that modern (post 2000) full-sized trucks have become HUGE compared to the older stuff.  In turn, the Ranger (and GM Colorado/Canyon) as "mid-sized" pickups have grown to fill the niche for something less.  

Unfortunately, it means a "mid-sized" pickup is still quite large by older standards.   (This is also why the Maverick, Ridgeline, and Santa Fe have caught on.  They seem to cater to the market segment that wants the old small-sized pickups found back in the 1970's to 1990's)

One of my best friends in high school got his dad's 88 Ranger single cab 4cyl 5 speed when he got his license. His dad's rationale was it was too small and fit too few people for him to get into any trouble.

Of course we proceeded to load the bed with a picnic table, 4 or 5 of us in the bed, along with a case of beer and drove it several miles down US govt/Navy owned railroad track to deliver the picnic table to a remote lake that the tracks ran next to.

My friend then high centered it on the tracks trying to turn it around.

We had to walk out on the tracks, get a ride to a pay phone and call his parents.

Tow truck had to be called. The first tow truck got stuck on the tracks, requiring a second truck to free up the first.

They also had to notify the Navy of the situation on their tracks.

So much for staying out of trouble.

Eta I've had three OHV 4.0s in Explorers with one of them having neatly 390,000 miles and still running strong when sold. The vehicle will in fact fall apart around the engine. They're one of the most reliable little engines Ford ever built imo. We still have two, one 240k miles the other 110k miles, spare Explorers set up for hunting/camping.

How about when you have to load wide stuff in The bed? Does it interfere with any thing there on the side?

Legit, the one reason the Toyota is really used is that I can step into the truck front the ground, and pull up 7-10 50-65gal garbage cans every week.

Done it a few times with the 3/4-1 tons, but the bed height and heavy cans gets old fast.

People would be shocked if they actual looked up the numbers.

Newer trucks aren’t really much bigger than the old ones, they’re just taller and that makes them look huge. Most trucks have factory 6 inch lifts now.

I would love to have a 90s Ranger to DD

My dad had a 90s/early 2000 Mazda B3000 (I think that's it) and hit 330k before giving it to a cousin. It towed up to a 21ft ski boat and the V6 legitimately didn't feel underpowered towing.

Just looked it up. 154hp 180ft/lb. My current truck is a factory 500hp and 1200ft/lb and a payload near the towing capacity of that truck. Nuts

Starting to look like all of the newer trucks are crap spy tech and EPA 10 year life cycle junk.
Too bad these old trucks rust out over time.
My thinking is the next decade is going to see Cuba style mechanics maintaining older vehicles just to provide basic transportation for mid to low income folks.

Hence why they want to kill fossil fuel.
Remove that option to limit freedom of movement.

Take notes from the current third world...were heading there quickly.
The faster men can adapt the longer they can survive.
Pre 2010 Toyota Siennas...older Rangers and F150s may well be highly prized vehicles in the next decade.

I don't like cavernous interiors. Like the OBS Ford pickups of the 80s-90s, I don't care for the wide open space. My 2nd gen Ram isn't small, but the interior just has a more cozy feel to it. Can't really explain it.

Look at any model of car that has been made since at least the 90s.  
Bigger is what people want, bigger means better crash ratings and more volume for features(10 airbags, electronics, storage, etc).  

I have a 2018 honda fit and it has more space for people than a 90s accord had.

I bought a Dodge Dakota new in 1990 because I didn't fit very well in the smaller trucks,  midsized was perfect.

I love my 2019 Ranger as it's just about the same size as the midsize from 30 years ago.   I weighed 185 when I bought the Dakota,  I was just under 200 this morning,  then again I am 6'4".  It's not just the fatties some of us just aren't manlets.

The old Rangers never had a ton of room. I’m fat but the real problem was front to back legroom and it got worse with the manual tranny. My friend had a Mazda version I couldn’t hardly shift because he put a tiny little cb radio on the left and I had to contort to use the clutch. I can physically fit in a Miata but my knees are pressed up against the steering wheel on either side so I’m not sure I could safely drive one.

It folds up flat on the inside of the tailgate when not in use, and if you want to remove it, two pins are all that are holding it in place.

Shelter Green

Huh. I thought it was a bronze/metallic brown, colors aren't my thing

I'll bet, I have a tune on my '19 from Livernois.    Their vid shows 308 rwhp and 380 rwtq.   I think it's pretty quick,  so does my wife and she drives a Turbo Macan.

When somebody puts a tune out for that version of the TT3.0 it's going to fucking fly.

Even as a heavy half it's probably same size as a new Ranger.

I pulled up next to a new Colorado the other day with my '05 Cateye Silverado.  About same size and Colorado was taller.

Only reason I’m really considering keeping it. To turn it into a little rocket ship of a pick up truck.


Flip side, I also really want a Gt500 to go with my Bullitt Mustang.

And I already have an F150 raptor with a Cobb tune.
