    The Ranger never had an 8ft bed so I don’t know why an extended cab + 6 ft bed isn’t ok considering that it means you have space to transport stuff outside the elements without needing a storage box inside the bed taking space.

    And worst case, just get an older truck, it’s not as if vehicles just explode after 5 years on the road.

      I was just pointing out that they could do that and it would be better for me. If you need the stuff you’re hauling to be protected from the elements you can use a bed cover or a tarp. Even with my civic I just put groceries or whatever small stuff in the passenger seat. I have little use for interior space. There have been many occasions using that Colorado where a longer bed would have been great.

      As far as old trucks go you’d have to go back a lot further than five years to find something that meets the criteria I’m looking for and hope you find one that was actually cared for.
