Reply to comment by lmaoidc29 in Ford now recalling 462,000 SUVs due to rear camera issue linked to at least 17 accidents by EdBegleyJuniorJunior

The new Ranger is the size of the old F-150. I'm not sure what small trucks you're referring to.

Coincidentally the Ford Maverick is one example.

Sure. I've oddly enough had all 3 (well, early 2000's F-150). Did you pick the 2 door model by accident for the first 2?

No and no - those were both the regular cabs.

Edit: misread your comment, yes, I picked the base model, which is two doors. Because that's what a small pickup used to be.

Ahh. That's your issue. The Maverick is a crew cab, and the standard size of the old ones nobody bought sales wise besides for fleet vehicles. The third door was where it was at :) haha.

The issue is they don't make small (like the two door models) anymore. Half my friends in high school had small two door trucks like that, but they were a bunch of nobodies, so maybe half right.

Have you ever seen a 95 Chevy s-10 or a 98 Toyota Tacoma. You can fit one person and a bag in those things.

Something I noticed in LA one day. The S-10 is actually smaller than a modern Camry.

Why a wheelbase comparison as opposed to total length comparison?

Wheelbase is the usual way to compare cars, but if you Google the length over all the rankings don't change. I'm on my phone right now though but you can look it up.
