Isn't the smallest Ranger 2x heavier for maybe 1.3x payload? It's almost as far from kei trucks philosophically as one can get.

Haven't done the math, but the era of Ranger that comment spoke of would be much smaller than the Ranger sold today. Think more like the old Chevy S10. Not quite kei, but getting there.

> Not quite kei, but getting there.

From a US perspective I guess. Here in NZ, the 2011 Ford Ranger was already amongst the largest and tallest vehicles on the road (excluding actual trucks and buses of course).
