    Ford didn't sell nearly as many couriers.. but yes I still see them.

    Maybe america is willing to accept some practical vehicles from overseas, finally.

    Looks like the perfect rival for the Hilux.

    Ford has done their homework. Like it or not, it's what appeals to non-north americans, and slowly but surely Ford has been getting better and better this past while. I wouldn't buy one, but I have respect for it pushing the market in a favourable direction.

    And I do quite like the interior, although I am still partial to our orange dashes.

    i think it looks better than any previous ford ranger, but i still wouldnt buy one.

    the front end says SUV rather than truck.

    I'm a fan of Ford, but I don't like that. It's got tail lights that look like they came off the Superduty, the curves of a Tundra, and overall just looks like a bubbly Explorer SportTrac....I am not impressed.
    They gave up on the Ranger here a while ago. I just looked at some new 4x4 Rangers and they suck inside, $28,000! WTF? I can get a good F150 for that. They used to be good little trucks.

    Yeah, but at the end of the day, you would still be driving a damned Ford.

    From the side it doesn't look bad. The front end is horrible though.
    Wanna see more of the interior. Looks okay from what I can see.

    Still, I'd rather have my Tacoma than any other truck out there.

    That thing looks way too feminine to me. Kind of like the Hilux. The tacoma just looks way more badass, like a real man's truck.

    Ugh, question. Why are you on a Tacoma forum if you dont like them? Im sure they have a bunch of good ford ranger forums.

    Not gonna lie.... In just about every angle except for the front view I like it a lot. Especially that interior and turbo diesel. The front though.... looks to weak and SUV-esque(edge)

    Not tradin my Tacoma for one of them though thats for sure

    Yeah... the only thing that is better than a Taco is interior, but then again that's just looks. Every Ford I've ever sat in severly lacked build quality. Nothing felt sturdy...

    Agreed! My coworker just got rid of his F-150 and had tried to get a taco but couldn't because of the awesome resale value. You guys could have traded straight up.
