You can buy a F-150 cheaper than you can buy a Ranger. AND have a much better truck that gets just as good gas mileage. And ride MUCH BETTER. And pull MUCH BETTER.
And is a much bigger PITA to park/maneuver in tight places and too wide and unmaneuverable on tight offroad trails. Both of my Rangers had over 200k on them when I sold them. They were both still running good and gave me very little grief over the many years and miles I drove them.
