They are just back to the usual wheelin and dealin of the past. Inflate msrp then Price down. Fca is the worst for that actually... and the mighty JT already has $7500 on the hood here. But it would need 15 to compete with this ranger

This car will just keep depreciating into oblivion there is no market for it. But if you wanted to keep one of these for a decade ... pretty strong argument for that

I actually think as a work truck in low spec form it’s the best pick because similar price but way better Powertrain than the 4cyls available from GM and Toyota and Nissan. But otherwise the Ranger seems like a total failure.

I dunno I don’t hate the ranger. Is it the best truk ? No but I really like the 2.3+ 10at combro it’s perfect for a smaller truk

Yeah the engine and transmission slay the competition. Same engine across the entire lineup too so even the $25k vinyl seat work spec one has balls.

And locking rear diff available on all trims for like $500 or something is epic.

I sat in a Ranger at the auto show... it’s nicer than a Tacoma and a Frontier... nothing special though.

I don't understand why they insist on continuing to make the back seat of the Tacoma equivalent to an Al-Qaeda prison cell.

Know your targeted terrorist group.... Errr audience.... Errr both are right.

Toyota, keeping terrorists mobile and resale values high by finding a place to put all the old used up trade ins.

70 series. Good taste. Slow as molasses turbo diesel 4's but they're literally indestructible. Some of the only vehicles that can actually travel across the continent of Africa.

Right. The Frontier is no longer relevant, sadly. The Fraud is a better option all around because it's cheap but way better engine. Tacos are Tacos. They haven't been groundbreaking in, well, ever. But they have a loyal following because they're pretty no-bullshit trucks that are typically dependable and feel pretty indestructible to drive. The cabs do need an update though, this gen they basically re-used the cab from the last gen.

The next iteration of the Taco should be pretty awesome. Toyota is on a roll with designs, features, powertrains, etc currently.

I also think the next WRX should be pretty freaking awesome.

That looks to be a 3.8 SC motor. The N'A version is what i learned to work on cars. My mom had a 1992 Cougar... I also had 2 lincolns with that same chasis and my ex had a T bird with that same chassis as well... Know it pretty well...

I would avoid the 3.8 :doe: as the headgaskets BLOW

That car is in epic shape... When I first got mine 15 years ago they were all already beat to shit! I wonder who maintained it to be this nice.
