    I traded my ford for the current yota. My ford had so many quarks.

    If you can get a Ranger with a manual transmission, go for it.

    If the Ranger is so hot and popular, why is the Frontier outselling it?

    I would NEVER buy a first model year vehicle and especially one that doesn’t even have a track record in the US. On paper it looks pretty good but I’d wait a few years to see how it’s holding up.

    Ranger has been getting spotty reviews. Apparently the engine and transmission work flawlessly, but the suspension and the interior are still half baked.

    Buy one and have fun rolling it up on the turbos straining a 2.3 l 4-cylinder engine. Ford should have put the 3.3 liter in there as well

    I'm skeptical that the Ranger actually exists outside of commercials and truck websites. The big Ford dealer near me has been showing the same ones online for weeks. They've discounted one XLT in particular to just below $29k ... but still no takers! lol
