Here's How The New Ford Ranger Really Compares In Size To An F-150
Here's How The New Ford Ranger Really Compares In Size To An F-150-September 2024

Remember the new pickup truck? Of course you do. You probably clicked on this article to drop “” into the comments. One of the reasons I’ve heard is “it’s too close in size to the ” but you never really see both trucks in the same place. Now you can.

Ford Ranger production was for the U.S. market in 2012, but a whole new bodystyle was introduced around the same time for just about every other country on Earth. That third-generation Ranger is sold in many markets today.

Reader Michael M. in New Zealand spotted both Ford’s four-door pickups on the street and I thought it was a unique opportunity to see the two compared in real life. I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen the trucks together before.

You can read the specifications of any truck online and see that today’s four-door F-150 is almost two feet longer than the current four-door Ranger, with about a foot and a half more wheelbase. Does that look apparent to you in the picture or would you guess they’re closer?

For a little more context, here are the actual specs stacked up:

The Ford Raptor in this image is now that of the previous-generation F-150 bodystyle, but the difference between that and the current truck is pretty slim. Ford the 2016 four-door truck’s wheelbase at 145 inches and total length at 231.9 inches.

We did of midsize truck dimensions when the new Chevy Colorado came out last year, but real images tend to be more interesting than spreadsheets so I thought the comparison was worth revisiting, even if it leaves my own impressions unchanged.

Could these two trucks ever directly co-exist or what?

I Can't Stop Watching This Guy Shift A Ridiculously Complicated Twin-Stick Truck
Prepare to be mesmerized watching a man use both hands to shift two sticks through nine gears—while double-clutching— in an old Mack Truck. This guy is a boss. I’ve got a new appreciation for truckers after watching this video of a guy rowing through the endless gears of his truck....

Hell Yeah Lifted Subaru Crosstrek
I’m pretty sure the “hardcore off-road Subaru” scene is getting ready to blow up. We’ve already seen how cool , I think the look ports pretty well to the little Crosstrek too. That’s mainly because this car follows the cardinal rule of making anything look like a badass off-roader: ....

We’ve known for some time that in the near future. Or at least, they’ll rebadge a Nissan. But this week somebody seems to have actually spotted the thing cruising around Germany. This video identifies the vehicle as a “GLT,” which some journalists (including myself) have speculated the name might be....

Two Parts Of The Next Jeep Wrangler Body Will Be Aluminum: Report
We’ve been hearing that the next-gen 2018 Jeep Wrangler will have aluminum body parts to cut weight down. Today a report floating around the forums gives us a better idea of what that means exactly. (: Alcoa will not confirm (or deny) this report.) A user who apparently works for...
