I can empathize with Dustin. I inherited the Ranger when I had a Tundra w/ 140k on the clock and I hated that truck - crappy fuel mileage, horrible ride, and a dog performance wise. I also inherited the Tundra. I sold the Tundra and started fixing issues on the Ranger. The 3.0L engine is not a powerhouse but it outperforms the V-8 Tundra. The Ranger also gets 19-20 around town and 22 on the road but it can also pull a 4500 lb trailer. The Tundra was at 13 mpg and it struggled pulling a 1500 pound trailer. The Ranger stepside bed has limitations but the ladder rack makes up for a lot of those limitations.

I have at least another 2 years before I can access my 401k without penalty. I like my Ranger but my wife hates it (she liked my F-150 Lariat and I have kept her in a nice car for the past 20+ years). My next truck will probably be either a F-250 Diesel or Jeep Gladiator (provided they offer the turbo-4 in 2 years). I am not impressed with the new Ranger.

Time to order speakers as I now have two blown speakers. The radio now stays off as it is painful to listen to it.
