2008 Ford Ranger GSX

Ford's Ranger began as an attempt to make a compact pickup that could perform at close to the level of its F-Series trucks back in the mid-1970s. Of course packing that kind of power into a small package presented a serious challenge but Ford managed to create a capable little pickup truck. That tough suspension system is what helps the Ranger fulfill its role as a no-kidding truck. Its maximum payload is 1260 pounds and it can tow almost three tons if properly equipped. You can haul your skis to the slopes power boats to the lake and off-road bikes to the mountain trails......and use it to haul groceries and the kids and go to the movies. For 17 years the Ranger has earned its place as America's best-selling compact pickup truck. With good pound-for-pound power packed into a compact package the Ford Ranger provides an appealing choice for drivers looking for more muscle than they'd get from a mini-SUV.
