Reviews SummaryThe Ford Ranger has remained solidly in the mid-sized segment, despite similar offerings from other automakers ballooning over the years. The Ranger is aging, but gracefully, and it continues to be a good truck with a solid starting price. Recent improvements have given the truck a much better ride, upgraded brakes, and a bump in interior quality. The Ford Ranger is also sold as the Mazda B2300 and B3000. | |
Reviews SummaryThe Dodge Ram is one of the most recognizable vehicles on the road today, and it certainly has notable exterior styling, thanks to its crosshairs-style grille and the bulbous hood that rests on top of bulging fenders. The Ram's styling has been in place since the early 1990s, and the 2002 redesign kept the majority of the style in place. It's an excellent truck with plenty of virtues to draw in truck buyers, but the full-size segment has heated up to the point that it’s hard to find a bad apple. | |
