I'd support the Ranger idea, too. Just bought a left-over '03 off the lot with the 4.0 V6- A/C, cruise, automatic, sport seats, extra cab, sportside bed. I've had 2 Suburbans in years past.... decided to go back to such a multi-purpose vehicle, but wanted to spend less on fuel and ownership in general. There are a bazillion Rangers out there, and the development cycle is old, so no real surprises. So far it has been as boring and predictable as I would hope. Would bet a 3 year old model would serve you well...
