    Again, if you look at the actual specs and compare the same types of trucks, no, they’re not that much bigger. Feelings don’t trump facts.

    Their hood might be higher, the box encompassing the vehicle isn’t that much bigger than it was back in the day.

    Third gen ranger (the one everyone seems the be missing so damn much) dimensions: Length 188 to 203", width 70", height 69"

    Current gen ranger: length 211" (+8 vs comparable model), width 75" (+5"), height 73 to 76" (+4" to 7")

    Tenth gen F150: length 202 to 239" (+11" for model comparable to current Ranger), width 80" (+5), height 73 to 75" (about the same)

      It absolutely is, and facts don’t get trumped by misleading facts.

      Its not even a difficult thing to understand. You’re on the internet and have an infinite number of pictures that refute your idea.

          So… Your point is the 2004 ranger is smaller, and makes the 2024 ranger look bigger because it’s so much smaller?

          Good work agreeing with me while trying to be clever but entirely misusing the idea of forced perspective.

            No the whole point is to show how idiotic it is to use a picture to base your opinion on the dimensions of objects.

              I don’t personally use a picture, because I’ve been outside in the past few years and can literally see the difference in real life. I was suggesting pictures for you, so you can correct yourself and understand what people are talking about in this thread, since you haven’t been outside yet in your life.

        Stop with your fucking pictures, look at specs sheets, it’s fucking numbers we’re comparing, not feelings.

          Sure, the spec sheet I’ll look at is a picture of a 2004 Ford ranger and a 2024 Ford ranger, one of which is twice the size of the other while having more limited visibility from the driver’s seat and headlights set above the average height of cars from the 1990s, ensuring bright ass headlights in your mirrors no matter what.

            Numbers don’t lie, I even pulled the numbers to prove you wrong.

            The biggest increase is in length, you know why? Crumple zones. Have fun getting in an accident without them.

            “Hur durr, a regular cab short bed truck is smaller than a crew cab truck!”

                  So your own source shows the dimensions increasing every single generation to the point of more than a 20% increase in some dimensions… Are you sure that’s what you want to use to defend your deranged worship of giant, indefensible trucks that have explicitly proven to be larger and less safe than their predecessors?

                    Again, if you are intelligent enough to not compare different builds (which it clearly seems you aren’t), there never is a 20% increase between generations.

                    A regular cab short box might be much shorter than the next generation supercar long box, but that is not the same vehicle. Again, that’s like comparing a hatchback and a sedan and saying the sedan is way bigger, well no shit Sherlock.

                    Anyway, I’m done arguing with your, no need to reply since you’ll be in my block list with everyone else who is unable to understand simple facts and that prefers to rely on their feelings to build opinions, people like you are the reason the world is turning to shit, hope you’re proud!
