I went to Turkiye this summer and saw many of the new rangers, too bad it only has a tiny engine. :p

Fords are great trucks no doubt, but as far as looks go I'd have to disagree. They consistently look bland, outdated, or compensating for something to me.

essentially chevy and gm are the same thing. either way the f-series has been the best selling truck for almost 30 years now. they are reasonably priced and reliable. Also the fords don't look outdated when they come out.

The ranger is a good truck. But one of my friends has a Canyon and its awesome!

Why discontinue the Ranger when GM has the bull-crap trucks?

Thomas Vorholt Feb 25, 2011
What a shame. Rangers are such good little trucks.

Why change something that works? The ranger was a great truck

With the front in particular

Andy Rogers Feb 25, 2011
I couldn't care less for pick-ups, but I'm rather surprised (in a good way)

These days Toyota needs to build boats rather than trucks

Elias Saba Feb 26, 2011
Hmm, let's see, if I was to buy a truck would I go to John and his unsupported opinion, or MT's and the good list of tests they do for their truck of the year?

John Wu Feb 26, 2011
Coming from the guy with a dad that drives a escalade ext... That jokes because that ridgeline wannabe is worse than everything hilux tundra and the f series are all beasts. It doesn't matter who wins car of the year, it's all opinion

Morgan Dame Feb 25, 2011
@Kristoff stop shitting toyota they can tow a lot of wieght and how me people are towwing 6000+??? anyways imports own these dumb trucks

Daniel Fryman Feb 25, 2011
The Dakota is a midsize truck. It's a little bigger. They were going to discontinue it after this year or next year

Jason Dannheim Feb 25, 2011
Glad to see them making real decisions. This could definitely bring up their revenue being the only domestic compact with a major redesign. I've heard nothing about a redesigned Dakota for coming years.

Nicholas Noland Feb 25, 2011
GM won't be the only domestic compact truck, Dodge still makes the Dakota.
