Well, the ranger has had the same design for a while now and I think a redesign is due. I think there is going to be a growing market for smaller trucks as gas prices go back up and are still high.

Wow, the ranger looks pretty bad in that shot. What country is that Tacoma from? Looks totally different than the US version.

Are large trucks rare in Europe for personal use or are they just as popular as small trucks? Here in Texas everything is an F150 or larger it seems.

Absolut different world.
The gas engine in a truck=craziness. Or just a bohemian thing. (ok I need to be a bohemian

)
Here the gas is $4.05/gallon. (not in dollar, and not in gallon, I converted)
It's not a funny game. If you are working, you need the 20% getback tax in the diesel price.
I like the diesel fullsize too, but a fullsize in here is like a bull in china shop.
My buddy had a F350 with 7,3 TD. Uhh. it was hard. The streets are narrow (one rear view mirror lost), the parkin place are shorts+narrow. The parking house...LOL
So if you have fullsize here, you are rich and crazy.

Hm, I need one.

Wow, that's pretty crazy. I used to be told I was like a bull in a china shop when I was little lol

Be careful! It's a concept. (you know the Ranger Max)
Do you remember this:

I expected than the messiah. The 2006 model arrived next. Similar, similar but not like that.

**Nathan** · 02-25-2009, 12:08 PM

Man, I love the Rims on that. I like that concept.

**Nathan** · 02-25-2009, 12:09 PM

Where did you find that concept pic? I wish they would have made it.
