That's my guess. The new full-size pickups are enormous compared to what used to be considered a full size. I can only imagine that what they'd call a Ranger these days is probably what used to be a full-size.

Just imagine, if Subaru came back out with a Brat (or what was that VW that was like a Rabbit pickup?), it would probably be the size of the old Ranger. Hahahaha.

140hp and V-6 torque? Wow, you guys are livin' the high life. I had an '88 Ranger with a 2.0L 4cyl. putting out a earth rumblin' 80hp. At 75mph in 5th gear on the freeway, if you hit a gust of wind, you had to downshift to keep your speed up.
