Yeah, but it was nothin' compared to the Antarctic Blue Super Sports Wagon with the CB and optional Rally Fun Pack.
Back when you could haul a full sheet of plywood in a car! Can't do that in 90% of trucks now !
And yet the trucks are twice as large as they were in the 90s. How did they get so much bigger and so much less useful?Quote:

The new Ranger is as large as a '90s F150, weighs 300 lbs more, and comes with either a 5 ft or a 6 ft bed. I had a rental Ram something-er-other a few years ago in Northern Alberta. I had to jump to get into the cab. It had a 6 ft bed. I'd buy an old 4x4 S10 or Sonoma if I could. Unfortunately they've all rotted away to dust long ago.Quote:
