    Oh shit, prepare to be told why the Ranger is so much better by a few select TW members in 3, 2, 1...

    I saw a lifted frontier today and it actually looked pretty good. But Tacomas look the best. Rangers are just ugly af, they could have done alot better with aesthetics but it seems to me they were just trying to compete with the ridgeline as far as looks are concerned.

    I was a Ford guy for a while, came upon my Taco, never going back. That being said, I was still kinda hoping the ranger would be a better truck than hat it is. Ford really dropped the ball on it, if you ask me. Perhaps the bronco will be better? But I doubt it.

    Ranger just doesn't look good compared to other Midsize trucks. Frankly besides the Tacoma the only midsize truck that i think looks good is the ZR2.

    Hey man bulletproof drivetrain. It was Between my tacoma, frontier, and an F150.( came from a 1999 ford ranger 4.0 manual. Awesome truck)My wife despised the frontier. To the point of she'd see them in public from afar and make comments about it not knowing it was a Nissan until she got closer. Anyways back on track I'm here for the gangbang

    The frontier would be my next option if the tacoma starts to suck. Then again that 3.5L TT Tundra with 30mpgs sounds nice...Anyways if they put a nice screen on that Frontier Im sure it can compete even more with the Tacoma.
