A Ranger doesn’t get *that* much better mileage than an F150 Archived Message Posted by IlliniOllie on June 10, 2022, 18:13:09, in reply to "But I still push back on the idea that many of these people need FS trucks" An old-school Ranger, yes, but not the current ones. I think the Maverick may get into some markets where the original Ranger and S10 did, but they have to actually be available. Also, especially for those in areas where there’s winter, Transit/Sprinter style vans are generally lacking all-wheel drive. Previous Message The vast majority of blue collar workers, including the ones who drive them, don't. Most would be better served with a something like a Transit Connect or something the size of a Ranger or even Maverick. Message Thread: I paid $4 effing 79 for gas.
