I do like the ranger. There have been times when I thought I'd like seating for 4, but the majority of the time it's just me and my dog, so my supercab is just fine. I've been wrestling with this over 6mos already. I'd like seating for four, a trunk and 30 mpg, i.e., Toyota Camry. But, I love the utility of a truck, and the ease of loading my bikes and my ww kayak in the back. Also, when I've run shuttle kayaking, it's been easy to toss about 6 boats in the back of my truck, while tying them to a roof rack on a friend's Subi proved much more challenging. I'm also not a fan of having to lift things over my head to rack them. I guess there's not going to be a "perfect" solution. I probably just need to drive different vehicles and go with the one I like to drive. Obviously, after reading people's posts, I can adapt pretty much any vehicle to suit my needs, be it roof rack, hitch mount, inside storage, etc. I need to go with the vehicle I'm comfy with. The other issue is that I've been spoiled by a 4L V6 in my ranger, and am not sure how I will cope with sacrificing power to get that extra 5 mpg.
