The problem with the Ranger and other compact trucks, even this Ranger or the new Colo-nyon twins, is that the value proposition just isn't there. Even leaving out the fleet special $9999 trucks at the end of the model year (those will start up later this month or early next), their prices are such that if you need them to do truck things you might as well just buy a full size.

In fact, GCBC pointed this out in their recent Canyon review:
It may not matter anyway, because relatively speaking almost nobody's buying them.

In fact, GCBC pointed this out in their recent Canyon review:
THE GOOD
? Right sized outside
? Right sized inside
? Plenty of power
? All-around refinement
? Real world fuel economy
THE BAD
? Almost as costly as full-size
? Almost as big as full-size
? Not as powerful as full-size
? Almost as thirsty as full-size
? Awkward long box proportions
