Now, this is a Ranger. If you’d bought this, I’d be jealous. Not of that Nissan 4tracker thingy there.

I have a 2000 Ranger with a quarter million miles on it. Parents bought it new. I haul all sorts of stuff in it all the time. It's the best.

As a gen xer, 4 door trucks will always look weird to me.

I have the Mazda (b2300) version. 10/10 would powerslide through winter again.

Even the "compact" pickups these days are friggin' huge. Really thinking about importing something like an Acty.

I prefer a truck I could actually lay a 2x4 in

I miss trucks you could lay a full sheet of plywood in.

They still make pickups with 8ft beds on them.

You mean trucks to be used rather than be seen in?

My dad worked from a truck most of my life. Later, after he shifted to doing a lot less of that, I was surprised that he bought a minivan. I was like WTF Dad? He said he could remove the rear seats and fit a full sheet of plywood

Those trucks still exist... harder to find, for sure, but they're still around. I got one!

Honestly, I have never wanted a truck. I just can't see the attraction.

You just spelled it out - a-TRACTION.

I never tow anything big enough to need one.

Traction? In a rear-wheel drive vehicle where there is intentionally a bunch of open space over the rear axle?

Obviously you don't want to help all your friends move

I have a van for that - and if that's not enough it can tow a trailer.

If I take all my business stuff out of it, still no.
