They get SUVs. Many of them easily do 6500 lbs which is right in line with the ranger/s10 needs while being FAR more practical for a family in most cases.
I know it's an Internet favorite, but as a truck guy I find the modern case for the ranger odd.
I don't need another SUV, I need a small truck. My wife's SUV has all the passenger space we need, I need something with a bed.
Keep an eye on Telo and Slate. Maybe electric doesn’t suit your needs, but both of these companies are intending to bring back small trucks. Being electric they don’t have to play games with emission standards loopholes that basically killed the old Ranger and S10 lines. It stinks that none of the current electric truck offerings went small, but there’s hope for future small trucks.
I would definitely consider an electric truck. I'm especially intrigued by the Slate truck, but it seems like that's still a few years from coming to market.
