According to the Ford news release the new Ranger will be a "mid sized"
pickup.


What is mid sized and full sized these days. Rented a full size car at
Alamo in San Jose Cabo. Camry.

I suppose the mid size will be the Sport Trak rebadged with a larger
bed and 2 seats. Mine is still a "truck" if that means body on frame.
It seems to do OK. They rate it 1/2 ton and I did bring a pallet of
tile home from the tile store OK. (probably more like 1500 pounds)
I haven't tried a pallet of sod yet but that is coming up when it
starts raining again here. I know the F150 was OK with that.


I brought 30 bags of mulch home from Home Despot in my Tacoma's bed, and
each bag, if dry, was 40 pounds, according to the loader at the store.
No problems for the truck. One of my neighbors has one of those
landscaper trailers, and it is available for "borrow." Might try that
this year.

I had 14 80 pound bags of concrete and 14 2x4s in my old 85 LeBaron
once. I cranked up "Low Rider" on the MP3 player and chugged on out of
the BORG. The Mexican guys who helped me load were rolling in the
parking lot laughing.
