An eagle-eyed reader sent us pictures of this Ford Global Ranger on the streets of Detroit. Reader bball40dtw claims that this version is “set up for diagnostic testing”. Nevertheless, don’t hold your breath. This thing is apparently 90 percent of the size of an F-150 and the price points are too similar.

- Brian Uchida Laguna Seca, corkscrew, (drying track off in rental car prior to Superbike test session), at speed - turn 9 big Willow Springs racing a motorcycle,- at greater speed (but riding shotgun) - The Carrousel at Sears Point in a 1981 PA9 Osella 2 litre FIA racer with Eddie Lawson at the wheel! (apologies for not being brief!)
- Mister It wasn't helped any by the horrible fuel economy for what it was... something like 22mpg city, iirc.
- Lorenzo I shop for all-season tires that have good wet and dry pavement grip and use them year-round. Nothing works on black ice, and I stopped driving in snow long ago - I'll wait until the streets and highways are plowed, when all-seasons are good enough. After all, I don't live in Canada or deep in the snow zone.
- FormerFF Iām in Atlanta. The summers go on in April and come off in October. I have a Cayman that stays on summer tires year round and gets driven on winter days when the temperature gets above 45 F and itās dry, which is usually at least once a week.
- Kwik_Shift_Pro4X I've never driven anything that would justify having summer tires.

Unless they offer a regular cab/6' bed it's just another SUV to me. Today we went out and bought a 67" tall bookshelf and took it to my wife's office. Did it with a Rio5 and several bungees. This truck could not do the same without dropping the gate. Useless beyond its nice ground clearance.
I would love to see some competition for the Tacoma. It is a nice truck, but I don't think Toyota puts much money or thought into it, year to year, since it pretty much has the segment to itself.
