Yes! I hate how the 'small' trucks nowdays are still full fucking size.

I used to have an old ass ford ranger and that beast was great.

Fairly fuel efficient considering it's age. Fitted perfectly on the road.

It wasn't 17 feet off the ground for no reason. You could easily load and unload the bed.

I got so excited when I heard they were bringing it back.

Then of course it's a full size (aka oversized) pickup that got worse mileage than the 30 year old version.

The Ford Maverick gives me hope. If something like that came out in a full EV format my Model 3 will know its days are numbered.
