Used to drive a five speed Ranger for work. I loved it.

The old Rangers were the epitome of trucks that get shit done.

I have a 3rd gen Tacoma and it is HUGE for a "small" truck. I miss actual small trucks (I also miss hoods that were lower and slanted forward in a way that you could actually kind of see over).
