OT, Wrangler pickup

[AngryScientist]

interesting. apparently a done deal and coming. could this mark the return of the small pickup to the US market. i hope so.

please, please toyota, give us another small, reliable inexpensive truck. all i need is 4WD, a radio and a steering wheel.

This wont be as reliable as the new Tacoma. Had one once and never shoulda sold it but I got stupid money for it. Want the new one badly.

[AngryScientist]

make no mistake, the current line-up of tacoma, colorado, frontier, are NOT what i consider small pick-up trucks. they are midsize at best, bohemeths compared to the original models. i dont believe any of them are even available as a standard cab anymore.

I would love to see Toyota bring the 70 series into the states...

They're are smaller (but they've been steadily getting bigger with each model change, of course) pickups here in Europe. Been seeing more and more of the Ford Rangers, almost all either double-cab or cab-and-a-half but they also have standard cabs. Tons of Toyota Hilux, again mostly double-cab or cab-and-a-half. Same with Nissan, lots of them around. Dacia has a pickup, 2wd only but apparently coming out with a new one based on the Duster and with 4wd. It's small. Also there's the Fiat, again small but also growing.

No worries, I'm in the same boat! I should have never sold mine.

When they invent a time machine, I'm definitely bringing one of these back.

The double cab hilux diesel is my dream vehicle...

These are available 20 minutes from my house but I can't register one here:

So are diesel Hilux

Kind of a nice looking Jeep/Pickup.

Always wished Toyota would have made a FJ with a removable top. Their version of a Wrangler. Or even a 4-door version of it.

Saw a reg cab Colorado already. Had a 1985 Ranger. That cab was too small. Didnt realize you wanted something that small. Used Honda Ridgeline?

Pickups haven't been that in a long, long time.

Everyone wants the giant brodozers.

Is Jeep going to call it a Wrangler? I always like the Comanche name and always thought Jeep made a huge mistake discontinuing them.

I was Sunday shopping the Chevy dealers lot and every Colorado was over $35k, at that price it's not even a step up to go to a full size pickup. I am hoping the Ranger undercuts GM's pricing if it comes here.

Ya, for that money you get a full size and bite the bullet
