Looks just like the Colorado. Ugly window lines and a bedside that just don't quit


That's an ugly paint color. Who is going to buy that?
What's that post running under the bumper?


OH MY GOD KBRO2s ON PLASTIDIPPED WHEELS I MUST BUY IT NOW WHERE DO I SIGN gonna be do popular in southern cali


What is this, your grandpa's RV? some of you know what I'm talking about

 

Does that bed look really high or is it an illusion.

 

They'll still sell a ton of them so the bros can brag about their "Raptor"

 

Ohhhhh comes with 285s too! DAMN GINA

 

it looks like a hilux

 

It's that way on the Colorado, too.

 

Not a Raptor, but you get the idea...

 

Will they offer it in regular or extended cab? Manual trans/'poverty spec'?

 

i feel like all trucks are starting to look more like cars in the front....besides the tacoma of course

 

Looks good, can't wait to see it without camo

 

Gotta love test mules. The bed needs to be more proportional to the cab. Visibility out front & side windows looks similar to a new Camaro. For goodness sake. American humans are getting taller with each generation. This is my one pet peeve regarding the Taco. I'm 6' and have to hunch over the wheel to see traffic lights. I don't want a full-size truck but I might have to get another one for the sake of my back.

 

Tell me this doesnt look like a 3rd gen front end. The shape of the grill, headlights, etc

 

I don't think it is the bed that is high but rather the front that is low. Look at the gap from the top of tire to bottom of fender at the front end compared to the rear. Also, cover the front end of the picture above with your hand and look at only the bed portion, it looks like a decent truck back end. Now cover the bed portion of that same picture with your hand and only look at the cab going forward. That thing looks like it could be the front end to anything from a minivan, to a small crossover SUV, to a tall sedan.

 

Keep in mind that this is a stock vehicle, gov't lease in another part of the world. Hopefully, they do it some justice when the Raptor version hits the street.

 

My god is that thing ugly.

 

With the way things are going with overall size, you might be better off going to a full-size, anyways. I mean, what is the total difference here? Dimension-wise, a few inches of headroom up top and maybe 6 inches of length? A few inches of track width? Engine (full-size wins), towing capacity (full-size, again), mpg (Ranger would win, but only barely)? I bet the price will be pretty close. Unless they go back to the original Ranger's dimensions and make it 5-10k cheaper than a comparable F-150, no one is going to pick the Ranger.

 

Seriously, there is barely a difference between a midsize and fullsize anymore. The last truly midsize truck is the 2004 Tacoma.

 

RIP compact trucks. I loved the size of my '01.

Yeah the front end of this one looks more like a car, but you can probably see over the hood like a 1st gen Taco. 2nd & 3rd gen is Form>Function in that regard.

 

I hope it's actually a good contender. Some more competition to push the Taco engineers!!

 

I saw a number of the rangers in Vietnam, and a lot of hilux's in Peru. Honestly they are both really curvy designs that look feminine. Neither look as good as the US Tacoma, gen 2 or 3 in my opinion. They just don't look tough... similar to a ridge line.

I would like the diesels, however.
